After over a year of sweatpants, messy buns and economic austerity, I am totally here for opulence and glam.
These tried-and-true fall choices have served fashion-friendly, and exam-hardened students for generations.
The Fulcrum took to the streets this week to ask students how they’re balancing their stylistic concerns with a renewed heatwave blasting through Ottawa.
Looking good and feeling your best everyday while balancing school and work can be a challenge, and the first week of classes can be especially daunting. But many students have fashion down to a science! The Fulcrum went out to discover the secrets that students around the University of Ottawa can teach the rest of …
May healthy, beautiful skin be forever in your favour.
With the unpredictable weather, it’s often hard find outfits that are suitable for all day wear. This is where layers come in.
Whether you’re looking for new ways to improve your regular makeup routine, or if you just want to test drive some new products for the very first time, here are some easy ways to freshen up your everyday look this spring.
This year, keep it classic with a costume we all know and love: the famous feline.
Fall fashion is not only the most versatile, but also the most flattering to anyone who dresses for the season. It’s clear that many students at the University of Ottawa know this, because strolling around campus every direction you turn there is a fashionista or fashionisto effortlessly strutting their style.
Fall is a great time to experiment with some cult classic trends, like darker shades for your lips, graphic glitter for your eyes, and peachy tones to have you rivalling the runway.
At the end of the day it’s a party, and no one ever leaves looking as perfect as they came in.
Yes, this was in fact in 2012, and yes, I did go because of that Macklemore song. For a few years, ugly sweaters were all I bought at thrift stores—until one day, while browsing for my newest Macklemore-esque find, I realized there were about fifty other racks of clothing whose contents weren’t smelly or scratchy. So began my vintage clothing obsession.
This spring, we’re embracing a diverse colour palette that will satisfy both the girly-girl and the punk-rock diva—nothing is off-limits. An array of bold and punchy hues were seen on the runway and here the Fulcrum shows you the six major spring beauty trends in three key looks.
And with winter weather comes winter… well, I’d hesitate to call it fashion. Style seems to grind to a halt throughout the winter months, which is unfortunate in a city that’s cold for almost half the year. Fortunately, the Fulcrum has a few tips for you to stay warm without sacrificing style during these next few chilly months.
It’s a new year, a new semester, and good time for a (cue cliché) a new you! Here are four beauty commandments to live by in 2016 to ensure a beautiful year.
You could head to school just as you are—in your PJs, bare skin, hair unbrushed, and your classmates would probably hardly notice. Today, however, you’re in the mood to look put together—and with these five easy steps, the Fulcrum will have you looking good and out the door in no time.
Although your skin may not have fully recovered yet after the onslaught of midterms, you’re now also dealing with the effects of extreme weather conditions while trying to keep the last hint of your summer glow. Luckily the Fulcrum is here to help you say goodbye to a lifeless complexion and say hello to glowing winter skin!
