When I went to New York City for NYFW, I had the pleasure of visiting the headquarters for Pari Passu, a luxury plus-size clothing brand. I was able to see where the clothes are made, see mood boards for their upcoming collection, and the brand’s famous dress forms created from the 3D body scans of…
Tuesday I attended training to be an election judge for my county. Maryland has its primaries at the end of April and though I’ve taken this training before, it was back in 2018 and a refresher was well appreciated. Also, since 2018 our county has updated some aspects of voting. We now offer same-day registration;…
I don’t know about you, but a lot of times when I see websites and influencers promoting what they consider athleisure, it isn’t terribly… realistic for real life.

This season, Chico’s has a…

Last February, Universal Standard had the coolest promotion called Mystery Boxes. Starting at $50, you’d buy a box of a certain number of pieces of clothing, share some details about your size, personal style, and current wardrobe and Universal Standard would curate a box of fashion for you that was worth way more than the…
I shared I Saturday’s Weekend Reads that I was going to New York City during New York Fashion Week and I wasn’t going to buy anything new for it. This jumpsuit is new to the blog, but one I bought last month. I’ve been loving the whole flight suit concept of boilersuits and coveralls this…
