2016 Bad B*tch Awards

In many ways, it has been a tough year for women. Our girl Hillary lost the apocalyptic election from hell, the GOP has declared war on our reproductive rights, and turds like Brock Turner are still getting sympathy sentences. It’s been rough, but we’ve fought back. Over 50,000 of us have made donations to Planned Parenthood under Gov. Mike Pence’s name. The female fighters of Kurdistan are taking the heaven away from ISIS. Many of women of color and the…

Rock Your Femme.

November 8th at 10pm: I went to bed pretty optimistic. November 9th at 3am: My boyfriend came into our bedroom around 3am and told me the news. I stayed up for the next few hours and mourned my reproductive rights. November 2016: I cried, a lot. Despite my outspoken criticism of President-Elect Cheeto, I knew I didn't want to blow up my FB feed with Occupy Democrat articles. Instead of praying the electoral college away, I started channeling my nasty.…

My Favorite Podcasts

Ever since the world hopped on Serial, podcasts have replaced your iTunes playlists. They are a great opportunity to seize your travel time and turn it into something worthwhile. Instead of refreshing Instagram, you can listen to success stories, love stories, and murder stories. It's like bringing your TV on the subway. A few of my favorites. This American Life This Monday my train troubles extended my commute by an hour. Normally, this would make me mad. Fortunately, there was a new episode…

Candy Coated

Minimalism is so 2014. Right now, it's all about embroidery, bold colors, and everything fluffy. In other words, welcome to my dreamland.

Mango that Look

I love fashion, but I can't afford the fashion I lust after. Sure, I can splurge on a few big things a year; but, I'm not in the position to buy every new "it bag" that pops up on IG. One of my favorite fashion bloggers, as i've mentioned before, is Jacey Duprie of Damsel in Dior. In some of her recent posts, she's been rocking this particular J.W Anderson bag. You've also probably seen it on Sincerely Jules and…

Fall is coming and for once, and I mean for once, I'm not completely dreading it. I've spent the past summer living and working in New York, and I've never felt so uncomfortable in my life.

First, mine. Mackenzie…

Goodbye for Twenty-Five

For 10 years I remained fairly faithful in my relationship with Pink by Victorias Secret. Although I stopped lusting over their bedazzled tracksuits a long time ago, I've been a loyal buyer of their underwear for a decade. At first, we seemed like the perfect match. Their 5 for $25 table always fit into my budget. My earliest pairs have held up through it all. They've seen countless shitty apartment appliances and various admirers. However, over the past few years their…
