Cozy up with the sweatshirt that acts as warmth and support for your Greek organization. They’re a hit down the row.
Around your waist or over your shoulders, this plaid shirt trend was everywhere. Dressed up with boots and leggings or down with shorts and a T-shirt, this trend never failed.
You’ve seen them shining all over campus this semester. From music festivals to music class, reflective sunglasses are a top trend.
If you’re interested in crying your heart out, this singer dropped the hottest album this November. After releasing “25,” Adele was seen everywhere from “Saturday Night Live” to your local radio station.
