I’ve been dying to get my hands on a satin midi skirt – but, me being me (read: persnickety), it had to be just so. You see, a midi length is tough on us shorties – it inevitably shortens the leg and there is little to do about it, except wear your stilettos. Or, more […]
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 […]
Note: If you haven’t read last week’s post on concrete ways to join the Anti-Racism Movement, hit the brakes, go back to the home page, and get your sweet self onto that post. Or just click here. It’s way, way more important than a tropical jumpsuit. So there are a few things happening here: 1. […]
Every few months, I go through my clothes and donate what I’m not wearing anymore, always (so innocently) shocked that I somehow accrued four Hefty bags of neglected items. Yet there are some things I love too much to let go, even if I hardly wear them, and this Grecian-inspired dress from ASOS is one […]
The doldrums of pandemic living have, we’ve known for awhile now, brought upon the fashion industry a time of heartfelt self-reflection (see the last post for a prime example). It was unclear, though, if talk of addressing issues like sustainability and designer burnout were just the fantastical musings of creatives with a lot of time […]
A short post to start a short week: Gucci’s Creative Director, Alessandro Michele, has been posting the most vividly intimate notes on the Gucci Instagram account about fashion, creation, and humanity in the time of a pandemic. Building on our discussion of how fashion has been, and will continue to, change in light of COVID-10 […]
The highlight of my week recently has been the SF Opera‘s weekend streaming of past productions – my M.O. has been to dress up as if I were going to the opera house, then to kick off my heels, pop some popcorn, and get those tenors on BLAST. This week, I opted for a pair […]
Let’s talk types of fashion brands for a minute: what the heck is the difference between designer and contemporary? Name brand and fast fashion? What about diffusion lines and haute couture? These terms are thrown around a lot, as if we all are supposed to know what they mean, and frankly I’ve never seen them […]
It came to my attention that despite the Summer 2020 season being canceled, the San Francisco Opera is still, in it’s own way, ON. Last weekend, they streamed Mefistopheles on their website for free, so of course I brought out a fancy dress with lantern sleeves, moisterized my spray tan, popped some popcorn, and cozied […]
I hope this post finds you well! Today I bring you the result of years of teasing, eye-rolling, and deep-sighing: I finally bought a new wallet, the Brahmin Ady wallet to be exact. Why is this a big deal? Well, my sister, Julianne, along with several friends who clearly value our relationship enough to participate […]
