Dress Code

Senior Nayda Verier-Taylor, campus queen, graciously

allowed a Campus Weekend photgrapher to take a photo of her (make sure to save this on your

computer because it will be worth a lot someday). We're not sure where Nayda got her sky-blue

and white dress, and silver pointy flats---But, the attraction is NAYDA, not her clothes.

where Nikki likes to shop.

Nikki Calhoun, 23, is sitting pretty in front of Eaton Residential College.

She is wearing a button-up checkered mini-dress from a boutique in St. Louis and wool hat from Soho.

Making A Statement

Sophomore Adnan Bahrami is straight chillin' in head-to-toe Puma (Ferrari edition). The bright red color is perfect for a Miami night, and his Puma track jacket gives him a trendy yet athletic vibe. Adnan, who is originally from Kuwait, says he loves to spend his weekends watching Formula 1 races.

Senior Josh Weiss shows off a Fossil watch and a shirt, with a mysterious slogan, that he got

in the UC Breezeway for free.
"I like wearing it because everyone always asks me what it means.. but i don't even know."
Josh proves that sometimes the most fun fashion is the kind that keeps people guessing.

Giam Sedie, originally from Brazil, turns heads and shows off his good sense of humor, in this t-shirt from Urban Outfitters in Soho.

Hotel California

After a groovy performance by the Rebirth Brass Band, a rockin' horns band from New Orleans, University of Miami seniors Parker Smith (left) and Whitney Roux (right) took in the good vibes.

"That band was awesome!" our photographer told them.

"I know," Parker replied. "I booked them!"

Whitney is wearing black peep-toe wedge heels and graphic top, both from Urban Outfitters.

Her purple skirt is from American Apparel.

Parker got this brown/design bracelet from Israel.

Bronson Soares, a senior from Hawaii, is modeling fitted dark denim jeans by Levi's, shoes by Adidas and a hand-made woven leather belt from Argentina.

A photographer spotted senior Lissy passing through the UC, wearing

a classic Abercrombie & Fitch frayed denim skirt and BCBG top.

"I'm usually in gym clothes!" she said. Looks like we caught her at just the right time.

Ece Cakir, a University of Miami senior, soaks up the sun in a western mini dress and saddle brown suede boots, both by UrbanOutfitters.

Soho Flowerchild

Junior Taylor Wilson looks flirty and fab in a flower dress by Millie and slouch boots by Steve Madden.

The South Carolinian describes her style as "spunky, funky and unique," and adores a band called Boys like Girls.

Sophomore Tara Dolan is in touch with mother nature in

a comfy bohemian patterned cream hoodie and relaxed denim.

Welcome To The Jungle

Graduate students Alex (left) and Jose (right) chatted with friends over coffee

at the university's Starbucks. Alex, who describes his style as "preppy,"

is wearing a polo shirt by Izod. Jose, a Jack Johnson fan,

is wearing a basic green camouflage crew neck t-shirt.

Junior Max House Johansen stood tall and proud in muted green and camel

cargo shorts by Arizona Jeans, and a t-shirt from Knuckles Pub in New Jersey.

House added that his favorite quote in history is,

"To die with one's sword still in its sheath is most regrettable in life" (Miyamoto Musashi)

How profound! Thanks, House.

Camouflage and army patterned clothes is a trend that comes and goes throughout the years.

Junior Willie Haskell (above) was ahead of the trend's recent revival amongst University of Miami's students:

"I got this [hoodie] a really long time ago," he said, smiling in the sun.

Country Club-Hopping

Sophomore Manny Melo can go straight from campus to the country club

in classic khaki's by Gap, a blue stripe oxford dress shirt and tie, both by

Tommy Hilfiger. Melo's stitched boat shoes by Bass are put-together, with an outdoorsy feel.

Junior Dan Lazaro enjoys a late afternoon stroll around the lake,

wearing classic blue-turquoise polo by Ralph Lauren, relaxed khaki

shorts, and sandals.
