Femmes are strong as hell. Although women have faced a lot of obstacles these past few years, we are still actively and fiercely combating inequality. Pro-femme movements such as #MeToo and Time's Up have made headlines recently and we began to see more women of color on the big screen like Kelly Marie Tran in … Continue reading Battle of the Sexes & Women’s History Month (lookbook)

Pattern x Pattern, Day x Day Lookbook
There are things you shouldn't mix like alcohol and ibuprofen but patterns are not one of them! Mixing patterns are often avoided for the fear of an outfit being too loud or the prints clashing with each other, but when done with care different patterns can really compliment each other. The secret to successfully mixing … Continue reading Pattern x Pattern, Day x Day Lookbook
Winter Nights in the City Lookbook
Winter is an interesting time. On one hand, it's filled with Christmas joy, good tidings, goodwill, peace-ish (not really in 2017), and hot chocolate. On the other hand, it's filled with dry skin, sore throats, crippling seasonal affective disorder, and constant reminders of how broke you are. It's not my favorite season, but it has … Continue reading Winter Nights in the City Lookbook

Are Online Stores like O-Mighty and Glitters for Dinner Legit?
Shamelessly, I am another wannabe fashion blogger who stays up to date with what all the latest Instagram fashion idols are wearing. More often than not, most of their outfits are only available online. Infamous for their silk kitten bralette and skirt combo, O-mighty (also known as O'mighty/Omweekend) has swept feeds in tight satin two … Continue reading Are Online Stores like O-Mighty and Glitters for Dinner Legit?
Don’t Mesh with My Heart
What we wear can say a lot about us. In literature, clothes can make or break the portrayal of a character and color schemes constantly become symbols or motifs.

Another Song About California
Midsummer 2016... new hair, more self-love, and big ol' mom jeans. I wanted to do a typical self-encouraging, motivational "new year, new you" post during New Years but in all honestly I didn't actually feel that way at the time. I was actually feeling really low and I couldn't bring myself to lie about feeling … Continue reading Another Song About California
Here’s What Happened at a VIB Rouge Event
Today I was lucky enough to attend a VIB Rouge event! For those of you unfamiliar with the term, it's the top tier of Sephora's rewards program. Admittedly, I spend way too much of my paychecks on beauty products and believe me, everyone loves teasing me about it. I've never had perfect skin. I'm very … Continue reading Here’s What Happened at a VIB Rouge Event
