	Rihanna's New Fashion Line: Rihanna for River Island By Mary Michael Toups February 26, 2013 - 12:00pm As if this Bad Girl couldn’t get any more Bad A**. Last week the infamous recording artist, Rihanna, added fashion designer to her list of may accomplishments when she debuted her new fashion line for British retailer, River Island, at London Fashion Week. The line is very Ri-Ri with looks inspired by the nineties that are anything but conservative. Rihanna describes her line as “fun, flirty and chic,” but her version of that brings sex appeal to a whole new level. Because she wants to be viewed as a real designer she decided cast real models: Jourdan Dunn, Charlotte Free, Tao Okamoto, Ataui Deng, and Bambi Northwood Blyth, to be the faces of her campaign.

	Operation Princess Project By Kelsey Lyon, Garrett Nickell February 25, 2013 - 12:00pm Being a Stylish Collegiette isn't all about getting all of the latest season's fashions; sometimes it's about giving back, too. We think it’s very important for students to be aware of Volunteer UCF and the organizations making tremendous efforts to promote good causes and local charities within our college community. This past Friday, Feb. 22, we had the opportunity to get to know the girls behind Operation Princess Project, an annual prom dress drive put on by Orlando's XL 106.7 and Volunteer UCF. All week they’ve been collecting new or gently used prom dresses for girls who cannot afford them on their special night. READ MORE
	Life, Love and the Pursuit of Something Vegetarian By Daniela Araya February 25, 2013 - 12:00pm Vegetarianism and veganism are something that frequently cross my mind when I think “eat healthy.” The reasons behind becoming a vegetarian or vegan vary, however. Dietary choices, religion, and ones’ own beliefs are all factors in determining what type of diet you will choose. More recently I have noticed that Orlando has a very large vegetarian and vegan community. For whatever your reasoning may be for choosing your dietary choices, there's one thing I know is certain: the food tastes marvelous! READ MORE
