I woke up this morning to find something that truly fluttered my heart. With Fall 2017 menswear collections rolling through Paris FW, one designer has decided to take it next level. Demna Gvasalia of Balenciaga presented a campaign-themed Bernie Sanders-inspired collection, incorporating the iconic white and red campaign logo on blue bombers, vests, raincoats, and scarfs. I mean, I love fashion but with GRANDPA BERN inspiration!? I can’t breathe. Quick lesson: Demna Gvasalia is basically the king of Pop Culture-infused fashion. He is the head designer of Vetements, known for explosive, contemporary, “non-fashion but still designer” street style. Also under his…

You know how sometimes when you’re walking through a Topshop or Zara-type store, there’s a certain trend that you keep seeing pop up. Like for example, right now – if you keep your eyes peeled – you will spot random embellishments and patch embroidery on all types of clothing. Skirts, button downs, jean jackets, you name it.

If you’re a bozo like me and often times choose style over basic human necessities such as warm and stable body temperatures, then I am pleased to announce I’ve uncovered a fall winter layering trick that will tickle your fancy! I always encourage leveraging the full utility of your closet, for as much of the year as you can. So when I was browsing through my vestiaire, shedding tears for the lighter jackets worn too seldom, a bing-bong went off in my head. Jean Jacket + Statement Coat = HIPSTER WARMTH. As any clothing obsessed maniac would do, I ripped…

At some point in your life, you’re going to own a biker jacket. It is a magnetic item that you’re probably even contemplating purchasing now, don’t lie. The jacket represents a uniting factor between women & pop culture, women & luxury, women & their independence. One of the first editorial sightings of the biker jacket was in 1979 Vogue, photographed by Eric Boman. Since then, the iconic outerwear has been taken in extraordinary directions. And while most stay loyal to the original aesthetic, I’ve seen biker jackets that are yellow polka-dotted, bright fuchsia metallic, or blue lace with a shearling…

Today, I am feeling fiercely independent and empowered as a woman. Don’t worry, I’m not about to spew all my emotions (I have many) on what it is to be female, but instead let me share with you some reasons why today is special. One – the music scene has recently been LIT up with incredible and jaw-dropping displays by Solange, Angel Olsen, and Banks. Each of these women are unique in their own genres, with potential as high as the heavens. If you can, take a moment to indulge and watch/listen to their latest sound and visual art: 1….
