Thinking about size inclusivity on the runway
Vogue Business analyzed size inclusivity on the runway for Fall/Winter 23. There was reduced number of midsize and plus size models during this past Fashion month compared to last year. (Straight size sizes 0-8, midsize 10-14, plus size 16 and up. Most runway shows feature sizes 2 and 4.) I tend to have mixed feelings…

Go ahead, give Supergoop a try if you’re looking for a clean sunscreen
You already know that you should be wearing sunscreen everyday, right? Good. Personally, I have been using Supergoop for some time now. I found it while looking for “clean” products and decided to give the brand a try. Here is a quick review of a few of their products, from the perspective of my dry…

You might think Prada Candy is just another sweet fragrance
I remember, years ago, I tried Prada Candy at a Sephora, when I was first getting into fragrances. I was convinced this was the fragrance of my dreams. I wrote it down and committed myself to buying it in the future. I then proceeded to break that commitment. Now years later, I am trying it…

I, like many of you might have, noticed a uptick in ads and social media posts from brands centered on women’s empowerment. Why? Because it is March, also known as Women’s History Month. Just like the number of ads that feature more Black people in February and more Asian people in January, it is (often)…

With Fall/Winter 23, Bottega Veneta asks, “What is chic?”
I am late to the party on this, but I finally saw the Bottega W 23 show. Often designers end their fashion show with a final look intentionally chosen to be the show stopper. I mean because it literally is the signal that the show is over. It is a work of art. At the end…

I dream of Harrod’s
I have somehow drifted into British fashion YouTube. For whatever reason, the site has decided to grant me my fashion fix with side of accents and dry British humour. (The extra u was intentional. 😊 ) Watching them has exposed me to a whole different type of department store: Harrods. The way place is set…

The Mila Moursi Cleansing Foam, an effective yet gentle cleanser
The Mila Moursi Cleansing Foam is one that I have now tried multiple times. I had a fairly good experience with it. I would say it errs on the side of gentle and non-stripping. I didn’t get that tight feeling and instant dry patches I get some times with cleansers. Mila Moursi Cleansing Foam $52…

Thoughts on Gucci Flora Gorgeous Jasmine
Based on the marketing and the scent of Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia, I can see the vision they were going for with this one. I think Gucci was intending to do something young and fresh. This is not an intimidating fragrance at all. I can see it fitting within a more youthful style. In the…
