A pair of Lipscomb students who have worked hard to help get Vineyard Vines up and running is excited about Saturday’s grand opening. “I am looking forward to seeing who all come and getting to know our customers better,” says Camille Yokley, a sophomore exercise science major sophomore from Huntsville, Ala. Yokley and junior Liz Hartman, an English education major from Franklin, Tenn., are two of the store’s eight employees. Hartman has been a customer of the company for years. “I like that we have a small staff– we all get along really well and have fun with each other,” said Hartman. While the store opened its doors in the Hill Center of Green Hills earlier in February, the official grand opening was scheduled later so that the company’s founders could be present. Vineyard Vines was created in 1998 by the Murray brothers, Shep and Ian. Originally corporate workers in New York City, the two decided to change pace and create a tie company on the shores of Martha’s Vineyard. The business that started out selling unique, preppy ties out of bags to people on the beach has flourished into a respected company that now has many more products than just ties. Being home to one of only three locations in the south out of the 12 total retail locations is a whale of a treat for Nashville. Most of the stores are in the New England states such as New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, D.C. and Virginia. However, there is a store in Memphis, Tenn., and Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., along with other outlet locations. Hartman and Yokley both are...

As the weather begins to change, you will start to see these new and exciting trends appear all over Lipscomb’s fashion-forward campus. Take my advice and don’t get caught wearing last season’s picks. Lacy Layers: Add a piece of lace into your everyday outfit. You can dress it up or down. Make sure it doesn’t show too much. Make it your own and keep it classy. Leopard Splash: Throw a bit of leopard print into your ensemble. Think shoes, bags, belts, or a simple scarf, but don’t overdo it. Neon Pop: Now get ready for the brightest of brights: neon! If you are not ready to go all the way with this trend, buy a neon belt and pair it with a gray dress. If you are really ready for the trend, take that belt and put it with the dress, then put a neon-hued cardigan over the top. Chunky Knits: Made to look hand-knitted, they have a variety of shapes and necklines, offering warmth and a snuggly sensuality. They are perfect for a cool autumn day, worn with a pair of your favorite skinny jeans or leggings. Color Blocking: After seasons of frills and flowers, color blocking is a strong pattern for the fall. This trend will work for all fashionistas and can be seen in different looks. Mixing Prints: This can be a tricky concept to grasp, but that’s part of the fun. When quirky patterns click, the result is an artful collage that warrants a second glance. Find pieces linked by a common color scheme or mood. It’s the best when they come together in varied proportions and...
