Didn’t see that one coming, did you? To be honest, neither did I. 2020 seems like just the worst year for dressing up – especially considering that so many of us are unable to spend the holidays with those we love and we’re all coping with some level of tragedy or another. This post is […]
Just like that, it’s December. We have a COVID vaccine on the horizon, we’ve evicted the clown from the White House, and twelve major retailers have signed the Fifteen Percent Pledge (more on that in this post). Still, it’s been a rough one for most of us, and it seems that everywhere on social media […]
I wanted to hop on today and let you know that things have gotten B U S Y for me – days packed to the brim from the second I wake up to when my little head finally hits the pillow. It’s a good type of busy, a hopeful type of busy, but one that […]
Back in June, I wrote an exhaustive post on the online clothing retailer Revolve’s diversity problem. In a nutshell: for years, they’ve dodged criticism of their mostly (straight-sized, cis-het) white influencer partners, on which the brand relied heavily for promotion and social media coverage. When pressed, brand representatives would wax-poetic on brand image and target […]
I’ve been hearing this one dialogue on repeat since the onset of the pandemic: there’s simply no point in dressing anymore, because there’s nowhere to go. We’ve all felt it at some point – for some, it’s in fleeting moments, for others, it’s a chronic state. But let’s examine this for a moment, and it […]
Hey – I wrote this because I couldn’t find a guide on how to hold brands accountable and frankly, I needed a guide. So I did the best DIY I could, but I have blind spots! Please send me any info, suggestions, corrections so we can make this post the BEST it can be! This […]
Want to get involved with the Anti-Racism Movement? If #blackouttuesday taught us anything, it’s that now more than ever, we need to amplify Black voices. Everything on this list is a form of protest. Everything that serves to equalize privilege, dismantle white supremacy, and allow for POC to flourish is, in itself, protest. Some actions […]
Chrissy Rutherford is a contributing editor over at Harper’s Bazaar, and the other day she posted a video both to her personal Instagram and to the Bazaar page in response to the rage and pain at racial injustice across the country. The current climate has demanded more and more people to acknowledge what has been […]
We’re all doing our best to shelter-in-place and keep ourselves and each other safe, and life can feel surreal nowadays – strangely rocky, but also so still. Sometimes it feels like the world is in stop-motion, pausing unpredictably before lurching forward in tiny, almost imperceptible bursts, doesn’t it? Things have slowed down here at the […]
I’m not one for celebrity gossip, but hear me out: sometimes joy comes from unexpected places, yes? Such as the pop culture/high fashion/ eco-friendly-fetishwear-turned-trend trifecta of Balmain, latex, and the Kardashians, a prime example of when the whole is greater than the some of its parts. Let me back up a smidge. For New Years’ […]
