How I am Learning to Be a Better Fashion-lover

As I began to think about this post, I got stuck on what to title it. I wanted to say something like, “How to be a good steward of your closet” –but then I hesitated. Does anyone use the word “steward” anymore? It sounds like a custodian, which sounds like a janitor, which then again,Continue reading “How I am Learning to Be a Better Fashion-lover”

Three Things: to live that cozy life

So glad you decided to swing by! Here’s a *virtual* cup of something warm and delicious. Most of my current days are spent working on final papers for the semester (reading and writing and editing some more) while also thinking about what dessert I’m going to make for Thanksgiving. Last year I did the classicContinue reading “Three Things: to live that cozy life”

Style Me September

As if you didn’t already know this, but September is traditionally fashion month. (Because I know “fashion month” is at the top of your priority list…) New York Fashion Week always happens in September and the “September issue” of Vogue is always the thickest and glossiest issue of all. It’s also back-to-school month, which forContinue reading “Style Me September”

But I’m curious- do you wash your hair every day? Every other day? Once aContinue reading “three things: help for dirty hair”

Three Things: Instagram Likes (+ a bonus)

It’s Friday, and while I may be swamped in research papers and never-ending assignments, that doesn’t mean that I don’t want a 5 min scroll break while studying. Instagram is my favorite of the social apps because it fuses the best parts of entertainment media: beautiful images, interesting conversation, and easy-to-discover good content.

a simple trick to help you get dressed

Remember that scene from Clueless where Cher goes to her closet to get dressed and instead of pulling hangers of clothing out from her closet, she sits at a 1995 Apple and clicks through a computer program to select her outfit for the day? It’s like ancient digital paperdolls, which I’m 100% here for. IfContinue reading “a simple trick to help you get dressed”

How to Hack Your Closet for Joy

I’ve been thinking about mindsets lately and specifically about our mindset as it’s connected with fashion and shopping and how we get dressed. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I like to post #LOTD (or, look of the day) shots because honestly, I love seeing other people’s looks- they inspire me toContinue reading “How to Hack Your Closet for Joy”
