The Orange Carpet: Watch My Style

The Orange Carpet scours SU to roll out the best campus style (die, hoodies, die!)

Keaton Fox rocked train conductor inspired jeans with an oversized shirt and lace up boots on a cold Syracuse day. It was an obvious hit. But, what really stuck out was her modern grey Slap Watch. As bold toy like watches have come back into fashion, the European Slap Watch Company did its best to invade the U.S. It conveniently designed a product for only $19.95. You can buy a single watch for the low price or the extra bands so you never get bored of your color. Compared to similar watches that run around $200 by designers such as Swatch Watch or Marc by Marc Jacobs, these modern watches are a steal. They have also been featured on the Ellen DeGeneres show and The View. Check out the website! http://www.slapwatch.com/about-slap-watch.html

Cuse Closet: Pain is gain

Cuse Closet peeks inside the staff's wardrobes to find out where we're going and how good we look getting there. 

Today’s closet: Allison Mariotti

I was feeling a little rebellious today before my 8 a.m. communications class, so I created an outfit that was feminine and pretty, but edgy at the same time.

The core of my outfit was a tiered pale pink camisole. It added a delicate touch to an otherwise tough ensemble. I paired the cami with my black skinny jeans to balance the fuller top.

I tried finishing off the look with a cropped black cardigan, but the proportions looked off with the tiers of the camisole. So, I replaced it with a long black cardigan. 

Finally, I added my studded, black ankle boots to add an edge...which, about halfway through the day, were killing my feet. 

But, hey, sometimes beauty is pain.
