Because you made it optional
I went to bed racking my brain trying to figure out why it was that I was so unproductive during the day. Why couldn’t I fill all the tasks on my habit tracker? I was so good last year? Why is this year such a struggle. And then the words popped into my head: “Because…

“This isn’t Zara for rich people”: Daniel Roseberry on keeping Schiaparelli exclusive
Previously, I had watched a video by Bliss Foster, where he discussed the idea of not everything has to be for him. If there are times when he doesn’t want to pay full price for the authentic item (in contrast to buying a replica) then maybe that wasn’t a bad thing. It just is a…

The Dior FW23 show was like a letter of encouragement to the 1950s woman
Today’s Dior show felt like a love letter to 1950s fashion. Personally I love a long skirt and structured jacket. However, my thinking was that this was a way of reinventing the styles of the house from its early days. I thought about the “New Look,” which was Christian Dior’s way of bringing back femininity…

Another eye product review: The Park 2-in-1 Eye Lift may be right for you, if…
I didn’t really know what to expect with the Park 2-in-1 Eye lift. Maybe I thought this would be a skincare version of the snatched fox eyes look. I thought it’d work by tightening the area. I say thought, because I went in blind as I tested it out for the first time. 2 in…

Orangers en Fleurs by Houbigant smells like springtime
The concept behind Orangers en Fleurs by Houbigant was the use of orange blossoms for 18th century weddings. This central note was associated with fertility and innocence. The fragrance of this offering is very light. I would describe it as feminine and fresh. In the air, Orangers en Fleurs by Houbigant smelled like springtime; on…

The value of African fashion
Throughout the week I have been writing about Studio 189. The short introduction, if you haven’t read the other posts, is that it is a higher end brand of clothing produced in Africa using many of the traditional African clothing making techniques. I previously saw one of the skirts, ornately patterned and dyed, and I…

Now you can ball in Balmain, but would you want to?
Balmain have released what they are calling the first luxury “playable” basketball shoe in connection with Puma. It is currently available on the Balmain site for $1000 and will be released on the Puma US site February 28. I want you to come to your own opinion, but I can’t see myself paying $1000. I…
