Everyone’s been sipping, inhaling, and living for pumpkins since August, even if fall only officially began on September 22nd. Can you blame these people? Whiffs of warm cinnamon, dancing red leaves (which we don’t have in California because we’re...
The summer season has ended and this fashion snob has spent the last few days saying teary goodbyes to her summer wardrobe. Summer tanks turn to polyester polos, linen skirts turn to khaki, and cute beach totes turn to… backpacks. If there were ever...
Fashion: a staple of Bishop’s life. So much of our day is filled with, “Oh, I love your shoes!” and “Oh, I love your sweatshirt!” We have a literal policy about clothes here. And amongst the student body, people all have their various ways to...
