Items will be available starting in November of this year (2022) in their New York, London, and Shanghai stores. Afterwards, there will be an online release and additional offerings in Paris. The images…

  • Natural diamonds are working to make sure you still want them

    The other day, I got an ad for natural diamonds. Which made me wonder, Why? I did some digging and found out the major mining companies came together in 2015 as a way to collectively fight the growing demand for lab-grown diamonds. Originally, the collective was known as The Diamond Producers Association. About two years…

  • The 111Skin Maskne Protection Bio Cellulose Mask was so good to my skin

    After I gushed about why 111Skin is now my favorite mask brand, you many wondering what mask I tried. My entry into the brand started with their Maskne Protection Bio Cellulose Mask. I was looking into a solution for the problems that my skin endured as a result of all the mask-wearing I was doing.…

  • Why you have to try 111Skin sheet masks

    Fresh out the gate here: 111Skin now my most favorite sheet mask brand for the simple fact that the mask itself adhered to my face. You might be thinking, “Uh yeah, that’s what they do.” Lies, that is not what face masks do. I am very used to having to go lie down somewhere to…

  • Ebene Fume: First impressions of this Tom Ford masterpiece

    If you were to press me for a description when I first smelled Ébène Fumé, I would have said, “It smells like By the Fireplace but after it took a serious meditation retreat.” It has the smokiness, but it also has a calming woody note. I find it amazing, with my subpar sense of smell,…

  • Trying to look like I’m right

    I sped walked from the station. It was after 9 PM. As it was getting later, I didn’t want to give off any signs of vulnerability. I briefly checked the maps before leaving the station but refused to let the light of my navigation app indicate I wasn’t familiar with the area. I had to…

  • The new Starbucks and Delta connected rewards program is enticing, but…

    Starting October 12, (well yesterday for me) Delta and Starbucks began offering users the ability to link their SkyMiles and Starbucks Rewards accounts to earn simultaneous rewards. Quick recap of the details: If you are already a member of either or both programs, you likely already are informed. And that is good, because I am…

  • Gasp! But the legacy of Balenciaga is being tarnished!

    As I went through the Dior+Balenciaga exhibit at the Museum at FIT, the same concern arose. Would Cristobal Balenciaga be disappointed to see what Demna Gvalsia is doing in his name? There is this fear that the late designer is rolling around in his grave. When you compare the intentionally beat up sneakers and hoodies…

  • My visit to the Museum at FIT

    I was in the area and decided to visit the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology of New York. Because fashion? For free? Yes. When I walked in, the desk guy said, “You’re here to see the shoes, right?” To which, I was like, “Uh maybe.” To be honest, my thought pattern was more…
