I have all these ideas in my head of what I wish I dressed like. I wish my wardrobe was made of great (read: good cut, better fit) pairs of jeans and beautiful outerwear – blazers, waterfall jackets, parkas, trench coats. I don’t know where I would be going in all these clothes, since campusContinue reading “Autumn 2015: Distressed (Denim) x Duster (Jacket)”

That Time I Read Cosmo – and Unleashed a Hurricane of Judgment on Them
I have never been the biggest fan of Cosmopolitan magazine, mainly because it looks so intimidating.

Cover Me, I’m Going In: My Girl RiRi’s CFDA Dress, and the Important Conversation We Should Be Having
I don’t usually like to jump in the fray when people are brawling about celebrities and their fashion choices.
