This: The #aerieREAL campaign isn’t just an ad launch but a complete overhaul of the way aerie, the lingerie(ish) spinoff of American Eagle, treats its models. The new crop of models on the website and in the ads are not retouched, so there are moles, piercings, tattoos, skin wrinkles, and more. And they look like…
I broke my toe. I discovered that I have a dearth of shoes made for broken toes. I had to buy new flat sandals. I compiled the best options. I’m against flip-flops because of this video; but Sperrys but Roxy slip-ons have generally replaced my flippy-floppys, so when it came down to looking in my…
Lately I’ve been loving black accessories—they keep a black outfit monochrome, or pull together an outfit with black pieces. Versatile and—in many finishes—unexpected, here are a few pieces I’m currently coveting.
Because I am! I don’t really NEED one but now that I’m in the jeep, I carry more stuff with me and need slightly different functionality (shoulder strap, lighter) than I ever did before. So I’m on a quest … Givenchy leather purse / Miu miu handbag / 3 1 Phillip Lim navy blue leather…
