Hey there everyone! Fashion in Detroit has wrapped, and we're back on campus...

(mixed feelings to be back at the library!)

Special thanks to Karen, Reno, Lians, and my favorite Joe Faris for planning such an incredible event. Keep checking back for links to some incredible photos and press. I had a blast working with the team, all of the designers, and the lovely other models.

See you at FiD2 in March? We hope so.

UM Wakeboarding Tournament- This Weekend!

Today's the day!

Eduardo and the rest of the UM Wakeboarding team are hosting the 2nd annual Great Wakes Collegiate Wakeboarding Tournament. It is bound to be killer- plus we'll be there hanging out, chillin' with the Red Bull girls, handing out stickers, and even giving away a few shirts. And we had the opportunity to design the tournament shirts this year (!! Thanks guys!!)

Come hang out!

Welcome Back Ann Arborites!

Hey hipsters,

Welcome Back to Ann Arbor and all things glorious and collegiate. We're happy to report that the team is, almost, fully reunited and we're working hard to bring you the best in fall fashion. Look out for our welcome week party, where we'll join Dark North apparel to officially welcome all the cool kids back to campus.

Good luck unpacking and we can't wait to see you soon!

Peace, Love, THE BEARON

PS Keep sending over pictures from all your killer summer adventures!

Jane's Addiction

FINALLY. Jane and I have something in common...

the bearon.

SeaOfShoes

From a new found craving for all things Pamela Love (ummm BEARon ring? I need that...), to an insatiable love of all things shiny and vintage, Jane Aldridge is my girl. Jane and her amazing blog, Sea of Shoes is a daily stop for most fashionistas and even landed this young, leading lady in the pages of Vogue.

So why am I writing about her now, versus every other day of awesome Jane posts? Because everyone always laughs at how much shit I have on wrists... and now I have fabulous company. While I tend to lean towards an mix of gold bangles, friendship bracelets, Cartier ropes, and a black and gold La Mer Collection wrap watch, Jane takes a more monochromatic (and gloriously chic) approach with her all silver baubles.

Off to adorn my wrists with even more inspiration...

Peace, Love, THE BEARON

Brutus

Megan and Keegan, two dear friends and BEARON lovers sent us this photo of their new bulldog puppy, Brutus. Basically the cutest/most spaz dog ever. And a good reminder that wrinkles can be adorable...

Gone Lolla for Minx?

During a lovely afternoon at Borders together,

Caroline and Anna discovered a most fortuitous find...
May we introduce MINX nails, please?

With everyone from Lady Gaga (pictured above) to Beyonce
sporting the fun and funky nail coatings, applied via a heating
technique, there's no question that "getting minxed" is a
trend too tempting to pass up.

In what can only be described as "hippie chic," Caroline
fell head over heels for this flower power design, which she
is dying to rock at Lollapalooza:

The perfect accessory for grooving
to stellar bands in Chi-town, no?

Peace, Love, Bearon

Go Barefoot for TOMS

Hopefully you guys have checked out TOMS Shoes- if not click here and jump to it! 

Blake and his team are incredible- leading a revolution one pair at a time. 

Today, April 16th, TOMS is sponsoring "ONE DAY WITHOUT SHOES"- a day to really experience what it means to go barefoot. Here are the facts:

• Fact #1: In some developing nations, children must walk for miles to food, clean water and to seek medical help.
• Fact #2: Cuts and sores on feet can lead to serious infection.
• Fact #3: Often, children cannot attend school barefoot.
• Fact #4: In Ethiopia, approximately one million people are suffering from Podoconiosis, a debilitating and disfiguring disease caused by walking barefoot in volcanic soil.
• Fact #5: Podoconiosis is 100% preventable by wearing shoes.

Check out the movement HERE and join us in walking barefoot- around your house, to class, or all around town!

Miho: Tokyo Collection

Hey Guys!

It's exam week here at Michigan, so things are crazy and I never seem to leave the library! I'm looking so forward to catching up with all of your emails next week and giving you an update on all the cool BEARON stuff we are planning for the summer months. Until then, enjoy these photos from last week's fashion show at MOTIVATION. Miho is an incredibly talented designer with a Japanese influence. And her show, Miho: Tokyo Collection was a huge hit!

Weekend Recap!

Hey Guys!

Caroline here-

 It was a crazy and hectic weekend, but definitely one of the semester's best, coming to an abrupt end with a BLIZZARD Monday morning. Thankfully the snow (in APRIL mind you) held off so we could have a bit of fun. So here's the run down:

Saturday morning marked the start of 24 hours of Relay For Life at UMICH. My friend Kaylin was the co-chair of the entire thing this year- a HUGE undertaking, and an even bigger success. The day was sunny and relaxing with everyone hanging out for a great cause.

Crist and I hanging out at Relay for Life 2009

As you can see, the fields were COVERED with people standing up to fight against cancer. This is by far my favorite event of the school year- the only downside is sleeping outside. Here's some advice lovely readers: camping is not for the faint of heart, and leggings are not warm, no matter how hard you will them to be!

This year I was co-chair of our team with my friend Amy- one of the coolest girls I've met at Michigan, obsessed with fashion but even more into philanthropy and doing whatever she can to get involved. 

At 4, I left to go meet up with the SHEI Magazine team to get ready for their magazine launch party and fashion show. SHEI Fest is held every spring to launch their annual issue. This year I was so excited to be asked to pose for the cover shoot! I'm waiting for Jessica to send me the image file of the cover, and then I'll make sure to post it right away.

We had a total BLAST at the show this year- the theme was androgyny, and I had a field day as my lips were painted black while witnessing Crist's runway debut. It was so exciting to work with the SHEI team again- they are a really cool team of unbelievably talented UMICH kids who create an incredibly professional and high-end annual fashion and culture magazine.

Closing the show with Katherine and Alex

Crist's Modeling Debut!

After the show, it was back to Relay for a night of shivering, but well worth it for such a great cause! After a nap Sunday morning, there was brunch with my family for my birthday, and then a fitting for another show. The designer, Miho, is a student in the Michigan art school and her pieces are GORGEOUS. I am so excited to wear one of her exquisite designs! 

So dear BEARON'ERS, I'm off to sleep. It's been a crazy weekend, and I can't wait for the sun to come out tomorrow and melt away all the snow! Stay warm and keep smiling.

Love, Caroline

A SOCIALITE BIRTHDAY

As Caroline's 20th Birthday draws near,
We decided to celebrate with friends and good cheer.
"Calling all Socialites" the invites did read,
For a fashionista who does good deeds.
Dressed as Bjork, C was a star
And had a blast celebrating with friends from near and far!

Crist, Caroline, and Ellis

Mary-Kate, Adam, Caroline, and Eduardo

Sophie Madeleine

Chances are, you've never heard of her. But Sophie Madeleine is our 

newest musical obsession here at THE BEARON.

Eduardo gets the credit for finding her on 

bandcamp 

(one of the coolest website ideas ever...) 

but we're willing to share.

If you like Feist, or beards, or ukuleles, be warned- 

you may become instantly obsessed.

HAPPY SPRING

HAPPY LISTENING!
