Palm Walk Runway: Hardcore Bracelets

As I was searching for various fashion trends, I came across a very unique bracelet. Designer Proenza Schouler has a collection of bracelets that look as if they were made with a rock climber’s bungee cords, and carabiner clasps. The bracelets are made in a variety of colors and designs, each one completely different from the other. The cord bracelets are perfect for the spring and summer, with their bright vibrant colors and laid-back feel.

Downtown Dispatch: Iced Coffee At Lola

Some of you may or may not know, but I am a huge coffee enthusiast. I look forwarding to getting up every morning just so I can drink coffee (among other reasons, of course), and I’m always on the hunt for the next best cup of joe.

One of the most terrifying possibilities of life is that of a physical attack. It is unpleasant to think about, but shouldn’t be ignored.

The Herb Alternative

College is full of stress, anxiety, endless colds and the flu. When students get sick, some turn to herbal medicine rather than Western pharmaceuticals.

Downtown Dispatch: Ann Taylor's Wardrobe

The Phoenix Art Museum is continuing on with their “The Year of Fashion at the Phoenix Art Museum” with one of their recent exhibits, “The Original Style of Ann Bonfoey Taylor.” So last Wednesday when the Phoenix Art Museum was free for the evening, I set some time aside to spend exploring, admiring, and reading up on the life and clothing of Ann Taylor.

East Meets West at Cherryblossom Noodle Café

Tucked into a Phoenix strip mall next to a Domino's Pizza is Cherryblossom Noodle Café, an unimposing restaurant whose storefront looks like a traditional Italian café — until you crack open the menu, that is.

Forget old fashion coupon clipping. Save money from coupon websites! From blogs.courant.com

Other than Ramen: Not-So-Extreme Couponing

Coupon websites are a great way to save money while grocery shopping on a college student budget. Have you ever thought about using them? I’m not saying that you should go “Extreme Couponing” like the TLC television series, but it never hurts to save a little extra cash, especially with summer vacation approaching. Finding trustworthy coupon websites can be slightly tricky because there is always a chance that some sites will include fake coupons. “Don't Waste Your Money” consumer reporter John Matarese published the article “Best coupon websites for grocery savings.” For the story he talked to coupon guru Andrea Deckard who recommended her top three valid websites: Coupons.com SmartSource.com RedPlum.com Couponsta.com I checked out these sites for myself and they were very user-friendly and included realistic grocery items, not just random items the stores are trying to get rid of. While browsing the items on sale on the website, all you have to do is click which coupons you want to “clip” and then print them out all at once when your ready to head to the store. Don’t be alarmed when the site asks you to download their printing software, though.

For the project you will need: -A trench coat (the one used on the website was from H&M and was $60.

Learning to Ride a Bike (at Age 20)

Ah, the unspeakable embarrassment of learning to ride a bike as a legal adult... Read how one SPM writer overcame her fears and conquered two wheels, long after she mastered four.

The possibilities of what can be used as canvas are endless. Photo by Faith Breisblatt.

Piece of Craft: Other Than Canvas

When it comes to creating art, canvas has almost always been my go-to medium. Whether you’re painting, creating a collage, or doing something else artistic, canvas is great because it is a flat surface purchased ready for artistic use and to be hanged on any wall.
