People willingly bought dirty sneakers
Dirty, scuffed, destroyed. A sneakerhead’s worst nightmare, until Nike made it a dream. I bring to you the Dirty Triple White Air Force Lows. This pair of shoes is considered an homage to the life your sneakers typically lead, as they slowly take on wear as they take you through your life. They’re made with…

What’s new at Balenciaga?
After Demna comes Pierpaolo. To be exact, Pierpaolo Piccioli, former creative director of Valentino has assumed the post at Balenciaga. And now I am so excited for the next fashion week.

Your yearly reminder: Don’t forget the sunscreen
I’m writing this right before Memorial Day in the U.S., the unofficial start to summer when people will be outside much more regularly.

Just a sample
I walked past the deli counter. “Would you like a sample? We’re having a sale.” With both hands, she offered a rolled piece of deli meat and a package of slices. “Just the sample, please.” I took the morsel and walked away. That might seem like an odd story. But as a shopper and people…

A different reflection on skincare today
In an unusual turn of events, I have writer’s block here as I try to compose my “Skincare Sunday” post. I usually am ready with something. But I have nothing. It’s probably due to my level of exhaustion from choosing to over schedule myself. To fit it all in, I compromised my sleep. I ate…
