before anna wintour…

Yep ~ time did not begin with Anna Wintour…..but with Diana Vreeland lol! Diana is the fashion editor who ‘ran the show’ at Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue before fashion was fashion. She is remembered as a witty lady who reminded us that “blue jeans are the most beautiful thing since the gondola“.

winter is coming!

Winter is coming!! According to Accuweather and The Farmer’s Almanac, this winter is supposed to be super harsh for the Midwest and East Coast…..which means that one of the main keys to staying warm is starting with a thin layer!

My bae would love these! These coordinating boxer briefs & socks are by Related Garments.

a fashion collab i can get excited about!

I am truly excited about this collaboration ~ besides being a HUGE Tracee Ellis Ross fan, everything about this collection says “I’m going to snag a few fab pieces!”. “The main thing that I wanted to put in this collection was a tux, but I didn’t know if it was possible at a low price point, because I didn’t want anything over $100” Ellis Ross explained. Apparently, she discovered that the addition of pockets (and not lining) would hike up
