  • Sydney Sweeney has changed her mind

    After now months of silence, Sydney Sweeney has finally come out to say she is against hate. If you remember, her American Eagle ads faced backlash. The tagline, “Sydney Sweeney has great genes,” was considered by many to be too close to eugenicist propaganda. The juxtaposition of her blonde hair and blue eyes was too…

  • Anok Yai, finally

    A woman so beautiful she was scouted, from a single photograph. A woman who has already created such memorable runway moments. A woman who is beloved by the fashion obsessed. That woman, Anok Yai, has finally been awarded the honor of Model of the Year. There are spaces that will probably go into the discourse…

  • I didn’t want to write this post

    I have been avoiding writing this post. I don’t have a good reason for it, beyond the call of the scroll. I just would rather watch videos and learn from someone else instead of having to put in the effort to draft something new. I would rather watch someone else pursue goals instead of risk…

  • My favorite hotel is becoming a chain

    Equinox Hotel in New York City is by far my favorite hotel. Now, the brand is branching out with a property coming to Amaala in 2026. I never planned to visit Saudi Arabia before, but now I’m intrigued. Right now, the site is only set up for notification sign-ups. I am going to pop in…

  • Before you try The Matcha Cleanse from Tatcha

    I have one Tatcha product that stays in rotation for me, but I’ve looking to see if any others from the brand might suit my dry skin as well. Something about the name, The Matcha Cleanse, made me think it might be alright. After all in this day and age, everyone loves matcha. I first…

  • So is this Kilian fragrance really unforgettable?

    When I went to the Killian boutique last year, I had a chance to smell Born to Be Unforgettable. A cola fragrance? As an American, you’d think I’d be intrigued by something that smells like our national drink, but I was unsure. I remember the cola notes shining through and surprising me. I left that…

  • The walkout

    Getting back into my fitness routine, I decided to register for a 7 AM boxing class. It’s an exercise I enjoy enough to make the effort to get up that early. I rushed in just in time, only to see a nearly empty room and no instructor. At 7:05, the instructor came dancing in. “We’ll…

  • A fashion designer’s short stint

    News broke recently. Dario Vitale is out as creative director at Versace. It hasn’t even been a year since he took over the role from Donatella Versace. Just one showing, and he was out. Whether he stepped down on his own accord or was encouraged to leave by the new management group, I don’t know.…

  • The magic of New York

    Based on my flight receipts, there is one place that I have been more than any other: New York City. My fascination with the place started with the idea that it was the fashion capital of the world. Now, that I’m maturing as someone who enjoys traveling, I see it as place of infinite experiences.…

  • A tiny history of advent calendars

    I have recently over the years become ecstatic about advent calendars. Each year, now, I try to find one that I like to get excited about the holiday season and try some luxury products. But luxury skincare and beauty is certainly not what was original what these vessels contained. The first advent calendars were made…
