Historical fashion icon: The dandy “Beau” Brummel
Personally, I have been on the hunt for men’s fashion influencers I can follow who are crushing it in the fashion game. Apparently there is one who I should know about, but I am just about 200 years late to notice. The man is George Bryan “Beau” Brummel. He is credited as most famous dandy.…

Evolving fashion trends, evolving cultures
Have you ever heard of a dandy? What about the trendy S-shape? Unisex fashion? Chances are you’ve heard of the last one.

A festival was happening outside. I could hear the music. Everyone’s joy was even louder. I’d considered joining them. I even got dressed to go. I put on a dress I’d been eager to wear. I did my hair. I was ready to go. And then I just sat on my bed with my laptop…

Increasing income is not the same as increasing wealth
Boy, am I tired. It has been a while since I have had day off. Even during the holiday period, I picked up a part-time job. I constantly picked up shifts, because as everyone knows more work equals more pay. I was doing whatever I could to increase my income. My thought was, I would…

Learning from my fashion mistakes
I remember it well. I had a great outfit planned out. My top was light blue. It was a color that I pulled from the floral maxi I was going to wear with it. Pastel + flower= springtime. I was set, except I looked a mess. When it was time to leave the house, I…
