Louis Vuitton debuted their men’s Spring Summer 2025 collection in Paris.
On Monday, Louis Vuitton released a video teasing its then upcoming show for its Men’s Spring Summer 2025 line. In it, we see a collection of children, who appear to be a sort of Model UN. It was a call for unity and a reminder that they are the future. It is in the hands…

Not so far to travel
Japan. New Zealand. The Maldives. I am certainly planning to at some point head miles away to explore new lands. But as much as I want to travel overseas, I have to ask if I have really explored these shores. It is easy for me, as an American, to take for granted the travel experiences…

Here is a very short review of The Robey, Chicago
This might be my most room centered room review ever. When I stayed at the Robey Hotel, I didn’t see any amenities, a restaurant, or really even the hallway. Why, shortly after my check-in, I was too sick to do anything at all. At the very least, here is what I thought of the room.…

I tried Cle de Peau’s brightening mask. Spoiler, I liked it.
While traveling, I realized that I had completely forgot to bring moisturizer. Being right across from a shopping center, I decided it was the best time for me to try out some new face masks.

It’s okay to rest
I have had a hectic week and don’t have any topics to write about today. So I will leave you with this instead. It is okay to take the time to heal your body and mind. It is okay to prioritize making yourself whole before you start giving pieces to someone else. Therefore, it is…

Chanel, the long-term, and humans
Writing about Chanel yesterday made me curious, what actually is the vision of the company. Given the long tenure of their previous artistic directors, I had a hunch that this wasn’t a fluke but tied to their mission and vision. I came across their “Report to Society” from 2018. In it, they write that because…

Chanel’s artistic director leaves the company, but…
Virginie Viard is no longer the artistic director of Chanel. Perhaps that means nothing to you. And why should it? But think of it this way, before Viard was Karl Lagerfeld who was with the brand from 30 years. Viard had been under Lagerfeld’s tutelage before assuming the role of artistic director after his passing.…

So, about email marketing
I was listening to a podcast about email marketing. They made it seem so easy. You need more email addresses to send your stuff to. That’s your main problem. I took that information in and thought of all the ways I could get more people to give me their email addresses. Now I’m thinking that’s…
