  what i'm reading... i finished reading spare  - prince harry's memoir. i have... opinions? i was not impressed with the book. it seemed rush, like it was a hasty justification on harry's end, an urge to explain himself for all he's done. perhaps he felt too victimized? had this book been written a couple years later, with more revision, less of the "red behind my eyes" that he so often mentions in the book, the obvious bitterness toward the royal family could've turned into a more heartfelt and even objective story of growth and closure. don't get me wrong, i love meghan and harry. the hate meghan got was incredibly unjust and the royal silence was deafening for the 'progressive' age. i think them stepping away from the royal life was the smartest and healthiest decision. they chose the option of lesser tragedy, the chose self-care. good for them!  and maybe harry just wanted to finally have the chance to write about himself, as he was always...

  cleveland is by far not an important fashion center. i feel it. especially living in suburbia. inspiration is scarce. or so i thought.  i only lived in small towns my entire life and was known for 'eccentric' looks. i saw a comment on tiktok recently, stating something in the style of "it's easy to dress differently in a big city like nyc or la. people with real fashion will do that in a suburb and that's truly bold". i'm paraphrasing, but it was something in that vibe and it spoke to me, made me feel like it's worth having a fashion show here in the seeming middle of nowhere. enough about me and the philosophy of overdressing. back to my town. it might be the defrosting of northeast ohio, and the recent mix  i attended, alongside visiting the rock and roll hall of fame  where i realized inspiration is here . not in a meta-world of internet fakeness and brand deals. seeing the pop-up antique shops and my regular consignment visitations, i wanted to g...

  what i'm reading... started reading spare  - prince harry's scandalous memoir. i enjoy the few bits on princess diana as a mother, other than that, i am yet to get into the juicier details as i currently weave through harry's privileged youth. what i'm watching... bridgerton season 4 ended fantastically, with a happy ending so tense you can only expect in the bridgerton universe. this was def my fave season. i've been catching up with gospodin savršeni  - the croatian version of the bachelor. sib has been playing it on the tv over the week, and i hate to admit i've been following along. i can only microdose reality tv. watching these people act so stupid or psycho makes me anxious. it feels like a modern-day gladiator fight. we put these desperate influencer wannabes into a villa on crete to battle for two dudes - one of them significantly lacking iq! many 20-something year old women attended harry day  at the rock and roll hall of fame  to celebrate the newes...

  this week i found inspiration in some fucking awesome women, as well as the bronze-gold vibes of the 2000s, and what the bridgerton woman would like in 2026... the great femmes in honor of international women's day - today, and women's history month, here are 10 women, some fictional, some real, that serve as style icons, role models, and muses in my life. bridget jones - the realest fictional character bratz - and their passion 4 fashion jenna ortega - our goth queen and film intellectual carrie bradshaw - i rebuke the gen z hate toward her! lindsay lohan  - she shaped our childhood princess diana - no one can top her vivian ward (pretty woman), but also julia roberts period. brontë sisters - so relevant we're remaking thirst trap films  miuccia prada - she is a philosopher first, then designer.  a woman dressing women, with intention and intellect. coco chanel - controversial, but culturally relevant. let's not brush away her murky history tied with nazis.  ...
