SHOES. I LOVE SHOES. This is not an understatement. The women on both sides of my family LOVE shoes and footwear of all kinds. I recently inherited a pair of vintage Stuart Weitzman pumps from my late aunt, and it is such a fitting memento and reminder of her. But today I’d like to focus on a BIPOC-owned shoe brand which is doing amazing things in design and sustainability. Meet Panafrica – a casual sneaker
I wasn’t always so good at shopping my closet. Before I started my slow fashion journey towards building a conscious closet, I had no style direction and lots of disposable income. This is a disastrous combination if you want to adopt slow fashion and/or have a conscious closet. It was only when I quit my lucrative finance job and moved into a 700 square foot condo with my husband that I became uber intentional and

I’ve recently gotten really into podcasts, but I wish I could spend more time listening to them. I’m so curious about when people have time to listen to podcasts – between work, reading, Patreon subscriptions, and walking my cat (lolz), when can I listen to podcasts? The only time I listen is during my runs and sometimes when I film looks for the channel. So tell me, when do you get your podcast listening in
There have been times when I looked at items in my closet and thought: “what was I thinking?” Especially recently, when I took a really hard look at what was in my closet compared to my personal style. With every garment that got listed on Poshmark, thredUP or sent to donation, I could pinpoint exactly where I was and what I was thinking when I bought it. Usually, it went something like this: YES. THIS.
Because love is always a good excuse to get out of sweats, no?
In a time where dated fashion myths have been busted by individualistic influencers and style rules have long been forgotten, one fashion myth still remains: building a sustainable wardrobe is costly and requires a style sacrifice.
A little while back I was tagged in a video challenge by Lauren McKinney to share my style icons, and it had me stumped.
