Watching other people live life
They call them vlogs, those videos where people show you how they are living their lives. They take you with them to the grocery store, the camera perched in the child’s seat in the shopping cart. They take you out with them to Starbucks, and you can see exactly how they order their drinks. They…

I gave up indecision
Hello, I am indecisive. This has been my plight for years. I have been that person who just closed her eyes and waved her finger over a menu to finally make a choice, and then regret it and try to switch yet again. I have struggled for years, so much so that I started to…

How a pair of designer shades helped me see things more clearly
I wore a pair of designer shades today. Trust me, I had no intention of making such a purchase for myself. Obvious branding is something I shy away from. Instead, this was meant to be a gift for someone who loved obvious branding and flashy things. But after a series of events, I was unable…

One person’s don’ts is another’s dos: My response to style “don’t” videos
If you have been lurking in pretty much any social media style community (YouTube, Tik Tok, Instagram, etc.), you will have come across “don’t” videos. The creator gives you a list of things you should never wear, that you shouldn’t wear, or just flat out, “Don’t.” I hate those videos. When someone puts together a…

Makeup: making up excuses and making up my own path
I am unequivocally an adult woman. And yet I never really gotten into makeup. This is not for some kind of philosophy against it. It is moreso that I just never tried it. And now, it seems scary, because it is one thing to make a mistake as a teenager. It is a whole different…

Reflection of Fear of God’s Jerry Lorenzo’s career pivot
“Am I too late?” It’s a question that I often ask myself. I have a fear that opportunity, as a general thing, is limited; success has a by when date. But as I continue to learn about the fashion world, I learn stories that make me question that. My winding career path may not be…

The clutter I hold on to
My anxiety increases each time I see the clutter. I know that I need to do a deep clean, but I keep putting it off. I pushed back doing a closet cleanout until I completed a fitness challenge. Then, I never completed it. I put off getting rid of the old school work because I…
