2-22-2026 MY INSPO: bestie vic, a style analysis

-

this week, instead of president's day, i celebrate national bestie vic day. in honor of our lovely friendship, i want to dedicate my inspo to her.

bestie vic constantly raises the bar, and i am confident in her passing the bar exam in the near future. while the current scene of 'girl boss' is plagued by flashy tweed and the cursed mar-a-lago face, vic executes the power look in a minimalist, chic and sleek way. her suit is defined by structure and poise, with unwavering confidence. her stance and attitude are powerful. my dream is to be like elle woods' besties on the benches, supporting my own brunette elle woods. i know vic guides with justice and empathy. a great advocate for the innocence project, vic is a person with whom i enjoy discussing current events and politics. another eldest daughter besides bestie nicole and myself, vic is everything - smart, sexy, and sincere.


vic's day-to-nite transitions can feel contrasting, but never wrong. her going out looks are intentional, mindful, and detailed. her references are fantastic for every event. she looks effortless with a hint of glamour. this is what the american woman is. powerful and unapologetic, confident in herself, and always holding poise and grace.

9-21-2025 MY WEEK: a kool kat's week out and about

  it was a feast-full of a week my friends, and sib and i treated ourselves frequently with eating out, as did boyfriend and i. while i enjoy cooking every so often, i admit i have no desire to, and will always rather eat out. i understand the health and economic benefits of cooking at home, but i'll never say to no to tacos at barrio , ramen at ichiraku , udon noodles at asian feastery, or all you can eat sushi at  kintaro . same goes for breakfast - i'll indulge in the low-key diner vibes of manhattan deli  or go for the continental buffet after church at concord family restaurant .  a very cat-oriented week it was too. on our late-night walk, we had a shadow follow us, a cat kind enough to let us pet it a million times. we also participated in a kitten kanuudle  fundraiser with amazing raffles (neither of us won). sib and i don't own a cat due to allergies, but maybe someday we'd say yes to adopting, maybe, just maybe... sib and i were the youngest attendees ...

9-14-2025 MY INSPO: the new queen reigning vogue

  big news for the fashionistas these past few weeks was the announcement of anna wintour - the bob - leaving the position of chief editor of the american vogue. speculations arose - who will take over the reign of the bible of fashion, the most important magazine? love it or hate it, this magazine is it . i can attest - as i used to be a subscriber, and still follow the magazine's newest articles, even though we can see, it set in some old ways, and became stale.  gone are now the devil wears prada days, the floral dresses and stilettos, and orders of a whole milk latte from starbucks alongside a blueberry muffin. right? is this also a farewell to uninspiring covers, tone-deaf ai ads, and blatant support for unchic women (looking at you laura sanchez)?  i read anna , the biography by amy odell, i bought it immediately. there was something inspiring about her professional life, dominated mainly by men at the time. no title ix then. i respect anna wintour's ways,...

10-19-2025 MY WEEK: travel essentials and super products

sib was dropped off to the airport end of this week, for her "vacay" to start. don't be alarmed, by vacay, we mean harvesting the olives our parents own. meanwhile, i have a few days of prepping and packing. i shared with you my packing list, months ago - was it vermont or pittsburgh trips? well, here i am to share my essential packing list for this month's big trip.  somewhere on the indyx realm on substack, i read that 12 items can be enough for a two week trip, they used as an example, to europe. of course i was up for the challenge. i love a good no-fuss packing list. and i am grateful to have a semi-wardrobe back in croatia (and a love for shopping, am i right?). still, i haven't been in the homeland during fall, since my senior year of high school. through the years my fall/winter wardrobe diminished, due to the oversaturated summer trips and necessity for summer wardrobe space in my parents' tiny apartment.  let's get onto what's in my suitcase....
