Mademoiselle C

Add Carine Roitfeld to your list of must-know fashion influencers. I’m embarrassed that I haven’t looked into Roitfeld and her influence in the industry sooner—Mademoiselle C only touches the surface of her impact. After 10 years at French Vogue, Carine is now running her own magazine, CR Fashion Book. The first Men’s CR Book will […]

Is Outlet Shopping Really Worth It?

Michael Kors recently settled a lawsuit for $4.8 million for misleading its outlet customers by labeling its outlet merchandise as “discounted,” when in fact, the outlet goods are made specifically for the outlet. If you ever pay attention to the clothing tags from a brand’s regular retail store at the mall vs. its outlet store, […]

The Human Cost of Cheap Clothing

We want to know where our food comes from—why wouldn’t we also think about where our clothing comes from? Two years have passed since the Rana Plaza collapse, one of the most tragic industrial disasters in recent history. Over 1,100 died and 2,500 more were injured—the worst part is that not much has changed for […]

My First Birchbox

One of my awesome Christmas gifts was a Birchbox from my brother Dylan. I’ve heard about it for a while, but never checked it out–I’m more in tune with what’s happening with clothes and tech than I am with beauty, specifically. If you haven’t heard of Birchbox, it’s basically a service that ships you a […]

Fashion and Surrealism

As much I miss college already, I don’t miss the lack of free time to read.  Last fall, I took workshop about 20th century fashion. The course had several interesting reading assignments to supplement the lectures, but I had only lightly skimmed through them. Now I finally have the time to curl up and read […]

The Week in Pictures

I really dropped the ball on blogging this week, so I’ll spare you the details and stick to pictures: The Elms Mirrors on the wall at Steph’s Pour Judgment on Broadway Cod on couscous, mushrooms and spinach Bella sitting on my coat before heading to work, while Emma (top left) and Maddie pace by the […]

Packing for January in Paris

Basically I’m listing everything I packed for my three-week study abroad in Paris, France at La Sorbonne. It’s by no means an exhaustive list–and it will most likely change between now and when I leave for the airport–but after the trip, I hope to revisit this list and see if there was anything that wasn’t […]
