Passion Pit

Passion Pit has peppered the soundtrack of my college career ever since I first heard their hit "Sleepyhead" at the end of my freshman year. Now the friends I made as a freshman while listening to the band's 2009 full-length debut "Manners" have become fellow members of a post-graduation bridal party, and Passion Pit's infectious falsetto hooks and beats will forever evoke happy memories of dorm parties in 133 Duncan Hall.

On the clothes line

In a word, the clothes of Mercedes-Benz 2013 Fashion Week have been dramatic. A varied mix of established and young designers alike have come to showcase their wares, while models strut their Miss J stomps and wildly clad onlookers come to see and be seen. Like any other Fashion Week, the unusual in fashion are present alongside the more conventional, and all are critiqued and applauded. Of the styles represented, some elements have made multiple appearances the past few days, giving forward-looking fashionistas a glimpse into the newest trends in winter wear.
