Catherine Hicks, Is That You???

For those of you who don't know or remember, Catherine Hicks played Annie Camden (the mom) on 7th Heaven (see image below)


Now, BU didn't want to tell you this because they didn't want a media frenzy on campus, but Catherine Hicks was spotted earlier this morning in West Campus!!! So I know this picture may be a little confusing (this actually could have been a dual post), but Catherine is the one on the left!


Since Catherine's life didn't exist much past the 90s and 7th Heaven, naturally, she would only be outfitted in her typical soccer mom attire--she has upgraded a bit though to a purple Longchamp bag may we add! Tres Trendy Mrs. Camden! (that was sarcasm for those lacking in social humor).

What does a typical outfit for Mrs. Camden include you may ask? and how may you achieve this high-fashion look? Simple:
  • No name-brand sneakers, used mainly for power-walking and driving the mini-van
  • Knee-length, short-sleeve formless floral dress, accentuating flabby arms, thick calves and a stacked ba-donk-a-donk
  • Medium-sized bag, typically mismatched and usually worn-out (this picture is the exception)
  • 90s styled wavy, frizzy hair: probably looks fine from the front but a complete bird's nest of a disaster from the back
...and voila!! You too can be an out-of-shape soccer mom!

Just for old-times sake:


Oh the good old days when parents only worried about their kids "hitting the reefer"... flash forward to 16 and Pregnant (why is there a fucking facebook for this???).

Man Repelling Meets All Saints


So while I was performing one of my favorite activities this past weekend: shopping blacking out, doing drugs, hooking up, throwing up I spotted this BU Senior, Marcella Sacco, part-time All Saints Spitalfields trendsetter, part-time model at Maggie Models... full-time Man Repeller, but in the best way possible (I mean is there any other way? Who even dresses for boys anymore? So freshman year)


If you don't know what Man Repelling means exist out of my blog right now.



I am OBSESSED with this entire outfit!! Not more obsessed than my leather craze, but it comes pretty damn close! Here's the run down
  • Denim shirt- buttoned all the way up like a f*cking boss
  • Simple grey tank underneath- most likely for practical reasons
  • Taupe corduroy pants- for added texture, interest and trend
  • Brown leather boots- slouchy, laced weirdly with pants tucked in for perfection
No make-up is even necessary for this cool, laid-back, I don't give a fuck but I still look better than you, look.

**DISCLAIMER:  No make-up means if your face looks like you could be in a Cover Girl ad. Don't think because I said "no make-up" that your pizza, Shrek face can all of a sudden drop a terrorist attack on society. Make-up was MADE for YOU my friend someone I'll never be seen in public with**

We all know I think know I'm pretty cool, but I wish I could be cool enough to rock this outfit.

Wildlife at T. Anthony's


Okay, so while we don't normally encourage eating of any kind, yesterday was Marathon Monday, and what would this holiday be without a little late afternoon visit to T-Anthony's pre-nap/coma. After all, the calories you probably consumed in your large pie or chicken finger dinner were probably negated by the amount of sweating you did running up and down Beacon Street, peeing behind dumpsters and aggressively accosting the poor workers of 7-Eleven.


On my visit to T's, I was mauled by what appears to be a rare species of fat girl that didn't seem to understand the term personal space.


Though I was stepping into a pizzeria, turns out it was the fucking amazon.




This gorilla/zebra mixed breed was SO drunk that she was mouth breathing down my neck in line a la that creepy boy in Hey Arnold.



A few times in line she even stumbled (mind you while standing still) and bumped into me throwing her 170+ pound body into my fragile frame, naturally causing me to turn around and flip out on her. Did she get it? Nope. Seven more times she does this (because everyone knows how fast the line moves at Ts).

Now, not only is she a disgusting, mouth-breathing slob... she also clean sweeps the disaster awards with her Coach Wristlet and legging/dress combo.

What the fuck!

Excuse me, I need to go puke up my large cheese now so I don't turn into that. Thanks for the reminder. I almost kept this meal down.

I'm On a Boat, Bitch (with Sigma Chi)


With Derby Days a competition exploiting sororities innate, secret hatred of each other to raise money for philanthropy having just ended, I thought it would only be appropriate to showcase the style of this past week's broiest of bro fraternities on campus: Sigma Chi.


Now as every BU Betch knows, every frat has their own distinct style:


AEPi: Mixture of Euro/LA Style, ready to go clubbing at ANY point during the day. Splassshhh
Chi Phi: Were probably skater kidz in high school and it doesn't seem like their style's changed much since then
PIKE: Eternally in their sleeveless tees, pumping iron at the gym.
KappaSig: Typical bro attire (KappaSig Tee, Jeans, Sneakers, boom. Fuck biddies)
SigEp: Do they even go here?
Sammie, SAE, LCA, ZBT all kind of lump together to create a lump of unforgettable, sorry boys.




Then finally ladies, we have, perhaps an inkling of hope from Sigma Chi.


If BU and BU Greek Life could be the complete opposite of what it is now (a southern, campus-school that gives a shit about anything other than Ts Tuesdays, the BU Pub and being on East Coast Nightlife)... Sigma Chi would be the champions of this fake school!


With their Sperries, colored shorts and equally as colored (yet pleasantly complimentary) polos or button-ups, you'd have no idea we go to a school where the favorite colors of choice are white, grey and black (all of which I'm wearing right now) and where it's below 50 degrees 90% of the school-year (minus the desert that was South Campus yesterday).


Let's take a look at a few fan favorites:




Jason Feldman: Sophomore, hailing from Georgia, he's probably one of the few who was raised to dress as if life is one big yachting trip. Sperries, khakis, pink tee with navy trim, light grey sweater with taupe suede elbow accents AND Ray-Bans... Need we say more? Not to mention he's in Europe in this picture. So cultured!



Will Sayre: Senior, almost always blackout, asleep, or MIA, yet still manages to pull together Easter colored button-ups, ties and sweater-vests (complete with creepers in the background of most pictures). Most of you have probably experienced a party in his apartment, and by experience we mean sweat nearly to death up against those awkward wooden walls and then thrown yourself out into the hallway trashhole that is 1066.



Andrew Mullen: Sophomore (guess Sigma Chi had a prep-tastic recruiting season that year) slinging ropes and attending rodeos from the deep south (at least it's deep to us New Englanders) of Austin, Texas. Notorious for bows, on bows, on bows and running the iPod in the SigChi basement, how could you not want to eat up this little mush!? The only person bows have looked cuter on is that coked out old man from the Six Flags commercials...and even that's arguable!


(sorry girl, had to cut you out)



(I think they typo'd flags for lines...)

Honorable Mentions:


Zach Taylor, Justin Marinko (those shorts!!), Mike Kautz


Nick Taylor (runs in the fam?), Nick Liakos, Andrew Mullen (case and point. done.)

And yes, my stalking abilities did increase tri-fold during the creation of this post. Adding it onto my resume as a skill. Get on my level.

Stay fratty bros.

Say NO to Crack!!


While here at BUFP, we condone drug use of all kinds... there is one drug that we think should be off limit: CRACK!!!!


Here is what I'm referring to:



UM WHAT!?!!

Fuck me, where to start?

Well there's the weight issue...which you all know how I feel about thattt. The jeans: are you part of the Hells Angels? I'm confused. BUT, the most spectacular showing of this train wreck... the one part that I can't take my eyes off even though they're about to burn out of my skull... the happy trail that seems to be leading down to the place of no return! Oh. My. God.

LISA! Get me a Tag-Team QUICK! I need to erase my memory and suffocate the brain cells that could possibly house this image.

Guess he should have invested in a Trendy Top:

LEATHER x WOOL: Love Affair

So you've already learned about my obsession with Leather a la Stella from PR Season 5, but this new trend puts an entirely new spin on love of this sleek, sexy fabric (think innocent girlfriend turned crazy, psycho stalker in really any Lifetime movie).

Ladies and gays, we present to you: Leather meets Wool.

I only recently discovered entirely infatuated I am with this trend when I ran into Alexa Moraif:


Okay, let me just start off by saying her effortlessly, fabulous outfit is perfectly complemented by her gorgeously curled hair and brilliantly white teeth--people should take note, some crest white strips and an extra 5 minutes spent on your hair go a long way.

Now for her outfit. The first reason I noticed her, her unreal jacket: dark grey wool with all-leather sleeves. It's like old-school high school varsity jock jackets except done for skinny, pretty girls and not football bros. See below:


(Emilio Estevez in The Breakfast Club, arguably the original bro)

Alexa pairs her jacket with that adorable printed sweater, classic black jeans, taupe Tory Burch ballet flats, and simple classic jewelry like her token anchor pendant necklace for her sorority Delta Gamma.

My love affair only deepened when I saw this promoter at Bijou later that night (obviously at a club, because it's the betchiest way to get drunk):


The jacket, shoes, AND printed hoodie underneath? What was your name again? Ugh, if only I didn't take that extra shot at the pregame...this situation calls for Craigslist Missed Connections.

So thank you to Alexa and the Bijou Promoter. You give my life hope.

Saint Patty's Day Recap


Okay...so I know Saint Patrick's Day was a week ago, but let's be honest, I had a jam-packed schedule of blacking out and one-night stands moderate drinking and casual sleep-overs with acquaintances to adhere too. Needless to say it was hard to find time to write posts. But, seeing as it's now Sunday night, society is forcing me to be a functioning human being again.

En route to my drinking festivities downtown, I encountered this gorilla on the T:

(don't be distracted by the overtanned guido in knock-off True Religions)

While I understand that day-drinking holidays such as Marathon Monday call for outrageous apparel. BUT in good taste ladies! Let's start at the top. Leather jacket. Fine. I love myself some leather (midly-moderately obsessed at the moment). Stella from Project Runway Season 5, anyone?


But, the jean skirt circa Abercrombie & Fitch 7th Grade? Which one of your safari animal friends said this was okay? And why was the line not distinctly drawn there? Let me just say that leggings should ONLY be made in sizes nonexistent-medium. If they actually stretch when you put them on, it's time to consider an eating disorder dieting and going to the gym. And the horizontal stripes aren't doing much to disguise the cankle situation that's going on there.

This outfit alone caused me to drink a little bit harder. Guess I can now justify the events of that day...

Transitioning from Blizzards to Summer?

As we all know, Boston weather can be a littttleee bit crazy. Blizzards one day and 80 degree weather the next (Halloween weekend anyone?) So what's a girl to do!?! Wear too little and you look like a tramp walking down the street. Wear too much and you're sweating your tits off in your Hunters (obviously with the fleece inserts aka extra sweatage). Say goodbye to chatting up that one straight guy in your COM class--no way he's going to want to talk to you as you're dripping like Christina Aguilera in the Dirrty music video except you don't look as hot.

X-Tina in her Prime
(Slutted up and anorexic, just the way I like my girls)

Christina Fat-Guilera after eating 17 Prime Ribs
(Please reference Country Night at Ts for my thoughts on Whales and Cottage Cheese)

Anyways... sorry got a little off topic...

I spotted Fashion Intern Laura Lee wearing this fab, fashion forward outfit:



Outfit Overview:
  • Sheer beige shirt with pleated sleeves (hard to see in photo)...pleats are SO in!
  • Green cargo vest
  • Leopard printed scarf
  • Dual-textured leather leggings
  • Beige quilted flats
Adore! Not to mention her outfit was completed with her black, patent Chanel tote. OMGZ. MAJ.

Enough layers to keep you warm when the temperature suddenly drops. or take off the vest or scarf to instantly cool down.

Well done Laura!

American Apparel Hipsters Meet BU

Like most other girls (and gays), I love myself some American Apparel staples! The comfy v-neck,  shiny leggings, circle scarf, and of course the infamous double u-neck dress, a perfect option to pair with bold jewelry and a foreigner's international student's table at Bijou or The Estate if you haven't moved up in the world.

But this, my friends is just unacceptable.

  1. It was February when this picture was taken. I'm pretty sure I wore by SBC out that night.
  2. Are you a Ballerina? (I thought it was country night at Ts)
  3. We're not in front of CFA, although T's is awfully close to there
  4. The light pink and magenta combo is not even okay on Valentine's Day (plus with this award-winning outfit, I'm sure you were Valentine-less)
  5. At least you're cottage cheese less. Points for that.
Essentially this video sums it up:


Off to listen to some Foster The People and not shower.

Country Night at T's Pub

So a few weeks ago I was taken on a suicide mission dragged to T's Pub on a Saturday Night by some of my friends. Now don't get me wrong... I love a good Tag-Team and a little bit of blacked out Karaoke with 50-100 of my closest friends. But there were many things not right that night (sorry for rhyming).


While on this Saturday night journey to T's (a wild escape from the typical Tuesday night) I encountered two things I despise: Country (fucking duh) and GDIs (see definition). Upon walking into T's that night, it was as if plaid threw up in GDI Nation. I do admit that I do some some non-Greek friends (to cheat off of during tests, to drive me home from class, or to rope into coming to our philanthropy events), this particular night it seemed as if T's put out an ad that said: "If you have no social skills, horrible style, AND you are a virgin... please come join us with your one friend from your floor freshman year for moderately-priced cocktails from our retarded bartenders (minus Lisa of course)"

Among the many disastrous lagoon-creatures that were lurking between the padded columns at T's that night (why are those even there?), these are a few of the highlights:

1. Sombrero Girl

Okay, I understand you were trying to get into theme, but a Sombrero is a) not country at all? b) fucking stupid. Please note that this girl is also wearing cowboy boots to pair with her Sombrero from Alabama. Sombreros are okay only on a few occasions:
  • If you are Mexican
  • If it's Cinco de Mayo
  • If it's a drinking holiday full of shenanigans such as Marathon Monday

2. Beached Whale



I had to make this picture extra-large so you could all get the full-effect of how truly heinous this is. Where to start? Muffin top, flat ass paired disgustingly with light-wash, flared Aeropostale jeans and heels. I know that us BU girls give the guys here a lot of shit, but from all the vagina's at Boston University and to the poor soul that took this girl home that night, I'm truly sorry about this.


3. Cottage Cheese




Enough said. It's called a stairmaster. Get on it.

Better luck next time betches,

BUFP

WELCOME TO THE BU FASHION POLICE!

As many of us Boston University students are aware, our beloved Commonwealth Avenue aka the Runway has been home to some of Boston's best dressed girls, gay boys and occasional straight bros (if you're lucky enough to spot one you can tolerate looking at without your eyes burning out). Just take a look at the many websites featuring us including College Fashionista and Her Campus!




Unfortunately, BU is also known for its daily fashion disasters thanks to our large population of local Massholes, ENG students (aka Engineering students for you non-BUers aka English No Good), and token Asians decked out in Hello Kitty (sandal high heels AND an umbrella to shield you from the sun... you're right you do look fab!)

(this can represent ENG or token Asians...so versatile)

But, not to fret! The BU Fashion Police is here to showcase the best and worst looks from on/around campus every week! Use this blog as a learning tool or simply to laugh at other people's expense. I'll be risking my dignity (or what's left of it after four years of college) to snap candids of some of BU's most heinous and hilarious fashion faux pas and giving credit to those bold enough to break out of the SBC (sleeping bag coat aka knee-length black puffy north face) uggs combo (why you'd even wear uggs out in public is beyond me...)

Can't wait to see what gems I discover!

Until next time,

BUFP
