June 2019 Book List

Hi friends! Welcome to the monthly installment of the Mack in Style Book List! Today I'll be sharing with you everything I read in May, along with what I plan to read in June. Overall, May was a very successful month in reading-- although unfortunately I didn't get around to reading everything I committed to, I still read TEN books! The one book I listed in my May book list that I didn't have the opportunity to finish was An…

Spring/Summer 2019 Trends

It's been a hot minute since I've done a fashion-related post on here-- and since we're finally starting to get some warmer weather, it seems like the right time to do it. What's Hot? Body diversity in advertising. Gone are the days that people expect to see sub-zero sized models in advertising. No, seriously, we're over it. I'm not here for body shaming anyone, but now is the time to show a little cellulite in bikini shots, some uneven cleavage…

May 2019 Book List

Hey cuties, welcome to another installment of my monthly reading list. While March was an A+ month in books, April was more of a B-- still good, but not as life changing as my last post. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this yet, but my goal in 2019 is to read 52 books. Last year my goal was 51, the year before it was 50. In my opinion, averaging a book a week is fantastic-- any any more than…

A Year of Bad Bitches

This month the Bad Bitch Book Club celebrated it's one year anniversary with book exchanges in Boston & New York City. To say that this club has been the most empowering accomplishment of my life would be completely valid. What I thought would be a small group of people I could chat about books with has evolved into a community of 300+ women who love to read. We've contributed thousands of book sales for female authors, have had some difficult…

April 2019 Book List

Since I have been a little behind on my reading goals this year, I knew I needed to step my game up in March. After all, for the first time ever I am actually being held accountable by others participating in the 50 book challenge. In my last post, where I detailed your Spring 2019 reading list I listed a handful of the books I intended to read in March. I'm proud to say I accomplished my goals, though it…

I lived in a tent in the jungle for 3 months

By: Kim Acer I am lying wide awake, unable to sleep. It is the eve of the fourth consecutive Nor’easter that is expected to pummel the east coast in less than three weeks. The power is out across town but luckily we have a generator rumbling that heats most of the house. It’s loud hum penetrates the eerie silence of my neighborhood. Earlier that day, I visited the ocean. Her waves were fierce and wild, relentlessly pounding the shore. Homes…

Spring 2019 Reading List

2019 has been a really good year of reading so far. I struggled through Becoming by Michelle Obama for the first two weeks. Don't get me wrong, her book was objectively good. She's also a queen that we are unworthy of! But the book was loooooong. Several people have recommended the audio book, so if you're thinking of diving in, I don't want to discourage you-- but perhaps take that route. Since then, I have bounced back with some phenomenal…

What’s up in 2019?

For the first time in 8 years of blogging, I've allowed myself to lean in to laziness. Prior to the end of 2018, I had never permitted myself to go more than 2 weeks without posting to my blog. As of recently, I just haven't cared enough to write. I have nothing urgent to say! I am tired of pouring my heart and soul into something that isn't providing any kind of financial gain. I would never--- EVER discontinue my…

Taylor’s Guide to Class Pass in NYC

When I was a sophomore in college, I looked in the mirror and felt unhappy with the way I looked. By no means was I fat but I definitely had some pounds to lose and areas to tone. This was in 2014, right after Kayla Itsines released her Bikini Body Guide. I came across her page on Instagram and after seeing the transformation photos of other women, knew that I wanted to give it a try. January 2015, my New…

The Best Books I Read in 2018

First of all, sorry I haven't been posting much lately. I've been trying to redirect my time towards things that are actually profitable. In the wise words of Demi Lovato "sorry not sorry." Additionally, I've been busy AF searching for apartments in New York. Things are going poorly, thanks for asking. Instead of posting weekly, religiously, I've been trying to publish only quality content-- even if that means going 10 days without any new articles. Have no fear, i'll never…
