“I would describe myself as somewhat vintage, but quirky. I love skirts and big sweaters and scarves and I love a pair of cowboy boots that I try incorporating in outfits as much as possible.”

Halloween is creeping upon us and it is time to start dressing for the occasion. For fall enthusiasts and fashionistas, we found some spirited new accessories to spice up your Halloween costumes and your fall wardrobe.

As November’s weather changes Happy Valley from cold to freezing, that is the signal for everyone to break out the winter apparel. However, if your inner fashionista is tired of the typical Penn State blue and white sweatshirt to keep you warm, you might want to try incorporating some fur into your wardrobe.

Valley has a special love for Halloween, so it’s only natural that we want to celebrate early. For the 13 days leading up to Halloween,…

The weather is finally getting quite chilly! We’re in the midst of a beautiful fall season, commonly referred to as “sweater weather.” I’m a huge fan of this time of year, because let’s be honest, who doesn’t love cozying up on the couch in a chunky sweater with a cup of hot chocolate or a pumpkin spice latte?

The gold and black walls of The Attic (located at 346 East College Ave., formerly Campus Candy) are lined with every style of jeans and jackets for both guys and girls. The floor is consumed with circle racks packed with trendy sweaters (yes, even Christmas sweaters), tanks and graphic tees; shelves neatly lined with strappy pumps, fall boots, and what seems like an endless supply of accessories catching the eye of customers as they excitedly buzz through the store.

Welcome to utopia; the land of affordable wear for every college guy and girl. Finally.

Last spring, artistic wedges and strappy stilettos walked fashion week runways. Prada presented heels with green and yellow flames flowing from the ankles, while Yves Saint Laurent strutted-up in a pair of thick-heeled lollipop pink oxfords. Moving into the fall and winter season, designers have amped up the designs from last spring in a big way.

Football season’s a thrilling time packed with tailgating, game-day parties and cheering on your team. Especially during this time of year, showing your school pride is important and there’s no simpler or easier way to do this than by sporting some Penn State clothing around town and the stadium. So you rotate through the few Penn State shirts you have, over and over and over.

This season, comfy sweaters and structured jackets are the item of choice for bundling up and dressing up. New styles are always begging for a spot in your closet, but by determining what items to splurge on or save on, you’ll be able to afford all that your fashionista heart desires.

The last leg of 2012’s Fashion Month, Paris Fashion Week, is now underway. Designers have showed their highly sought-after collections from New York to London to Milan, while fans gush over and scrutinize the runways from personal gadgets. For, of course, Twitter let us be there for every show.

The campus sidewalks are your catwalk as you dress up your books and style with these Valley recommended backpacks, all that can be found in downtown State College.
