Every day I wake up, and I read a new article or see a post that reveals another crack in the world. ICE is terrorizing innocent people in the US. A genocide continues to unfold in Gaza. Sudan is in the midst of a civil war that has ravaged its people, land, and government. Billionaires…

My Experience at Copenhagen Fashion Week
This past week has been Copenhagen Fashion Week, and I have so much to share. In December, I reached out to 10 brands who were doing shows asking to volunteer. I reached out again in January, but sadly none of them got back to me. Luckily, one of my professors suggested to all of us…
Unpacking the 2025 Fall Winter Collection from OpéraSPORT
This semester I am studying abroad in Copenhagen which is wild to me. It’s a huge privilege to be here, and I am so thankful for this once in a lifetime opportunity. Studying here is exciting for a number of reasons, but for one in particular: the fashion scene. Like other major cities and regions,…
What does it mean to confuse styling with fashion?
A couple of months ago I was scrolling on Instagram, and saw this video of someone talking about how we’ve confused fashion with being able to style ourselves, and they made some great points. Sadly, I can’t remember the creator, but they basically discussed how there is a difference between appreciating fashion and styling. Some…
We Must Continue the Practice of Manifestion in 2026
Welcome back everyone. In 2024, I wrote my first ever manifestation list, and posted it on my blog. Everyday that year, I read the list to keep those goals on my mind. I accomplished so many of those goals, and continued the tradition last year. For 2026, I have done things a little differently though….
This Blog is Back and Better than Ever
I’m back y’all. These past three months have been lackluster not posting on here. Between classes, work, and my other commitments, I let this blog fall to the wayside. I missed posting here once a week, and sharing my thoughts. What sucked the most was that it wasn’t like I didn’t have ideas for posts….
Kelly Bishop is More than the Third Gilmore Girl
A couple of weeks ago I finally read Kelly Bishop’s memoir The Third Gilmore Girl. I had been looking forward to reading Bishop’s for one main reason: I wanted the inside scoop on Gilmore Girls. Gilmore Girls is one of my favorite shows of all time. I needed to read about what really went down….
Turning Tiny Pockets of Time Into Something to Look Forward to
Reading has always been a really big part of my life. When I was a kid, I would become filled with so much joy when my class traveled to the library and checked out books. I instantly lit up when my teacher told us that it was our turn to go to the library. After…
Unpacking the 2025 Fall/Winter Collection from MONSE
I always forget that there are thousands of clothing brands out there. I know a lot of the big houses like Chanel, Givenchy, and Gucci, but there’s still so much growth regarding my fashion knowledge. It’s important I expose myself to brands I’m not familiar with, which is why I wrote today’s post. I’ve kind…
Why did I feel so guilty taking a break this summer?
I can confidently say that for me at least summer 2025 is over. The neighborhood is a little quieter at night. I have the urge to buy school supplies. There’s this sense that the season is coming to an end. In June, I wrote a list of things I wanted to accomplish before summer ended….
