Hi there! Today I’m writing from my mother-in-law’s house in Goiânia, Brazil, surrounded by family, heat, tropical rain and thunder, and lots and lots of joy. It’s the perfect day to be writing about the seventh and final installment of our Greek Words for Love series: agape. Philia, storge, philautia, eros, ludus, pragma – they all […]
Hi everyone! I’m writing this from a restaurant in the São Paulo airport while the samba version of “Summertime Sadness” plays over the loudspeaker. #currentmood Guys, I have a NINE HOUR layover in the São Paulo airport and it is crazy pants. This is my first time in this airport, and I am seeing that […]
We’re coming into December faster than greased cats on a slip and slide, and for a lot of people that means travel, family time (wanted or unwanted), alone time (a mixed blessing), or an odd mix of the three. Sometimes you need an excuse to tune in, tune out, or zone out – and for […]
Philautia – the Greek word for self love and the next installment of the Greek Words for Love series! Self love seems to be trending right now, and I get that there are a million different articles written by people much better informed and more experienced than I. We all know the deal: loving your […]
We’ve talked about spicy love, lasting love, playful love,and love between friends – how about a dose of storge, that love between parents and children? So, for full transparency, I have to say that since I don’t have kids, I can’t speak on the parental side of storge. The closest thing I have to being […]
Happy Friday! Continuing with our Words for Love series, today we’re all about ludus. This is a playful type of love that we experience in a wide range of relationships – parents and kids, kids playing with each other, people flirting, or my favorite, playing with your dog. As someone who takes themselves Very Seriously, ludus […]
Happy Monday, everyone! I’ve put together a new playlist on Spotify which I have a feeling will become my soundtrack for the month. You can listen straight from the blog, or follow me on Spotify. I hope you enjoy! Lots of trap and hip hop this month, with some Brazilian hits and pop thrown in. […]
We’ve talked about philia, we’ve talked about eros, now it’s time to talk about pragma. This is the kind of love that allows a relationship to function over the long term. It’s made of understanding, patience, compromise, and teamwork. And unfortunately, at least in my opinion, it’s the least valued type of love despite the […]
Hi everyone! The midterms are a week away – yikes. As promised, here is Part Two of the “Vote Now” series, where we’re breaking down why the midterms matter, how to figure out what or who to vote for, and where to go for more information. Last week we talked about why midterms are more […]
Before we get into why you should vote, I want to address the obvious question: why are we talking about voting in a fashion blog? Two reasons: Fashion is political. See yesterday’s post. I care about you. When I started this blog, I made a deal with myself that my content needed to make the […]
