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…

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…

At the Emporio Armani show, the models smiled. And I thought that was odd.
Though I didn’t have the chance to watch all of the shows during Milan Fashion Week, there was one I did watch, which caught me off guard. It was the Giorgio Armani FW23/24 womenswear show. The models looked happy. And that was weird. And of course, it is weird that I think that was weird.…

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…
