Looking for Something Out of the Ordinary? Check out Oonas

Oonas, located just outside of Harvard Square (1210 Mass Ave), has been revamped by a former CA alumnae, Eleanor Mueller. Mueller closed Oonas this summer for a renovation, and the new space is now open and organized, while still maintaining it's quirky charm. While Oonas was once a haven for halloween costumes and oversized army jackets, it is now home to some very lovely (and cheap!) vintage clothing. Everything, from fifties dresses to fake fur coats, is intact and immaculate, with prices usually in the twenty to one hundred dollar range. Personally, I found this nice striped shirt on one of the racks outside for a steal at only five dollars.

Dandy heartily suggests that you check out Oonas for some cute fall fashions.

Commemoration for Alexander Mcqueen

            Fashion designer Alexander Mcqueen died last week (Thursday February 11) at age 40. He committed suicide in his London apartment leaving his family, friends, and fans in devastation.

            Mcqueen’s imagination inspired a new kind of fashion. He mixed the surreal with the real and created fashion trends that nobody had ever seen before. In the past few days there's been a lot written about Mcqueen, and although it is hard to offer anything new we believed his designs were amazing partly because they dared to be so different. So take a leaf out of the mind of Alexander Mcqueen, do what you feel is beautiful no matter how strange it may seem. 

Below a few examples of his most famous collections:
