FUR PARTY
No, no, don’t go there… I’m talking about the celebration of winter fashion’s favorite texture!! Be it white, black, faux, neon, vintage, or taxidermied (?!), fur is the infallible answer to powering through the swiftly approaching winter blues. TWIN’s goal is to bring its readers highquality taste and style tips in creative, realistic ways – not to mention our consideration of the college budget in doing so. Maybe you will be struck with a new way to wear your winter layers, or maybe you will be inspired to gather some friends and hit up the vintage shops around Northeast to find a bargain on a gorgeous fur gilet to keep you toasty! From 20 years of living the Minnesota Dream, I can testify to how nearly impossible it is to feel simultaneously cute and warm ... as much as we all poke fun at duck boots and (f)Uggs, they are undeniably life-savers. (I somehow got lost in the train yard behind UVillage during my first year at the U of M. It was broad daylight. Laugh if you will – I’m just grateful for those sartorially shameful Australian boots on that negative-18-degree day.) This issue celebrates the timeless glamour of the holidays—regardless of how interested in fashion you are, everyone can feel the magic at this time of year. In this issue of TWIN, we hope we’ve captured the energy of the season with not only a visual tutorial on how to get fur in your life, but that glittery golden watches, 60’s outfits, DIY holiday cards, and pages upon pages of the most stunning details of winter will pique your imagination and warm your heart. Yours truly,
TWIN Magazine

atches have been spotted on more and more fashion forward students’ wrists for the past few seasons, and they don’t seem to be taking a backseat to cell phone clocks anytime soon. Not only are they a classic accessory that can make an outfit instantly feel put together; they’re outlandishly practical. Whether you’re looking to pick out the perfect gift for your trendy boyfriend, your roommate who seems to always be late to class, or yourself because you deserve a treat, you can always find a watch to match the style and price point you’re looking for!

Shapes
Creating a card out of classic holiday shapes is one of the easiest ways to spice up a thank you card. Choose a snow-man, pine tree, ornament, mug of cocoa, or anything else you know the recipient will love!
Postcard
Making your postcard is one of the most unexpected ways to receive a thank you letter in the mail. Make sure your paper is sturdy enough to not get damaged in the mail.
Classic
You really can’t go wrong with a classic thank you note. By adding texture to the decorations or glitter to help it sparkle and shine, your card will really stand out from the rest. As long as the card reflects your personal style and shows you put an effort into its creation, your appreciation will be transparent.
