Quick Sip 09: My Sporty Spice Era (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you can’t tell, I grew up playing team sports. And lately, I don’t know if it’s the heat and humidity to blame, or the fact that I’ve spent the summer chasing a puppy around, but I can’t stop dressing like I have practice at 4pm and a work presentation at 5pm. Sport has an incredibly specific visual language: uniforms, stripes, technical fabrics, socks, caps, windbreakers, shorts, sneakers, nylon, collegiate typography. You name it.

Read excerpt
Before I knew what personal style meant, I knew I was drawn to contradiction.During my grunge-Tumblr era, I lived in floral maxi dresses with lace detailing, oversized leather jackets, and motorcycle boots. At the time, I didn’t have the language for it. I couldn’t necessarily articulate why those outfits felt so right- only that I loved the moment where softness met grit. It felt more like me than either aesthetic did on its own.Looking back, I realize this wasn’t about how I got dressed. It be
