Take a look inside Sarah Barili's purse on page 2! Barili's baby blue leather purse contains many things that every woman carries, like keys and makeup. But her bag also conceals a switchblade! "I'm not even sure if it's legal to carry," Barili jokes. It's as sharp as her cement-colored manicure. Barili loves to use the Spotifly app on her iPhone, which she is always jamming to.Check out Brandon Dimick's style on page 3!

What is inside Dimick's brown canvas backpack? Let's take a peek... "I received this llama as a gift from my girlfriend," says Dimick. "His name is Douglas and he goes everywhere with us, even the movies and the grocery store." Dimick, a self described "gamer," plays Phantasy Star 0 and Mario Kart on the go with his Nintendo DS. An umbrella and snack also accompany Dimick on his day's journey. "I hope people keep pushing the boundaries of what's expected and accepted in fashion to continue to inspire others," he says. A resume, headphones and theater readmission tickets complete the contents of Dimick's backpack. He is is prepared for whatever may come his way, and with his resume and umbrella he can handle both a potential employer or a sudden rain on the city streets.Style analysis: Barili and Dimick show how to glam up looks in the hot days of summer. For these two, more is more. They play up accessories like skinny ties, spectacles, sun hats and switchblades to project their inner selves to the world. Fight for your visual culture, Denver. And die protecting it.
