“Do you admit to yourself how bad you want it?”
I have a can of Pringles next to me, scorchin’ sour cream & onion flavor. I have just been eating them, to round out the dinner that I hadn’t planned of odds and ends. Probably not the healthiest. Definitely not the healthiest. It’s odd, if you think about. For some time now, I have toyed…

My go to outfit plane outfit, because you never know when they’ll lose your luggage
The unspeakably annoying has happened: The airline has lost your luggage, and somehow you have misplaced your own carry-on.

Pharell’s first show for Louis Vuitton- Spring/Summer 24
Finally, it has arrived, the first show from Mr. Pharell Williams as the new creative director from Louis Vuitton menswear.

I think Creed Viking is the perfect summer scent because…
Creed Viking is described by the brand as “fiery” and a woody, citrus fragrance. It was their interpretation of the Viking spirit, going so far as to incorporate a Viking ship into their bottle design. I mean, who doesn’t want to embody the Viking spirit of exploration and the strength of a Norse god? Creed…

Watching other people live life
They call them vlogs, those videos where people show you how they are living their lives. They take you with them to the grocery store, the camera perched in the child’s seat in the shopping cart. They take you out with them to Starbucks, and you can see exactly how they order their drinks. They…

I tried to use an AI personal shopper, and now I distrust AI even more
I must admit, I am the person who sees the advances of the Boston Dynamics robots and thinks, “You definitely need to destroy that thing now before it kills us all.” Needless to say, I am not the most tech adventurous. However, recently I had been seeing a lot about AI in fashion and decided…
