    The Skirt Declares Victory! (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Obviously (OBVIOUSLY!!!!) I’m very happy about all the skirt talk this season. I’ve worshiped at the altar of skirts since I could dress myself (really, ask my mom!) and it’s fun to see everyone else just as enthusiastic.<img alt="" class="sizing-

    What Makes Something Special Enough to Buy? (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    As I was gearing up for my upcoming travel to London and Milan this week I sent a slew of texts to a shopgirl at Prada Duomo who, last season, helped me decide which color pouch to purchase and has since kept in touch (smart cookie!) Said texts had a bunch of clothing and shoes I want to try on when I arrive that I’ve had my eye on…since I’m no idiot, the VAT is calling my name.But I was trying to use WhatsApp on my desktop and like the aging millennial I am, I actually didn’t send it to my Prad

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    We all know I live for and at the ven diagram intersection of function and fashion. And boy do I love the idea of a sporty windbreaker styled to the nines. But when push comes to shove, I was having a hard time imagining when I’d actually wear this style of jacket without feeling like it was wearing me. Am I wearing it past 5pm?

    5 Great Things / August 2026 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Happy Five Great Things week. I just spent a week very much off the fashion grid. Always a good idea to get out of my bubble and see both what I actually wear in this environment (in this case the south shore of Lake Superior, north shore of Minnesota) and what I actually miss or look forward to in my impending return to my wardrobe.
