Dating Tip #2

Me: Look, I'm wearing mascara today and no eyeliner. Boyfriend: I like when you wear mascara, not eyeliner. Me: Why? I like eyeliner too. It's sexy. Him: I don't like sexy. I like natural better. (Few minutes later) Him: I love your jeans. They're so sexy. Me: I thought you said you don't like sexy....

Dating Tip #1

When a woman asks her boyfriend if he thinks she's the most beautiful woman in the world, she's not asking a literal question. To her, beauty = love. Some men screw up because they take it literally and say no. But what she's really asking you is: Is she the only woman you love, ever...

Working in Fashion

It's always fun to see what kind of jobs are out there. Especially the odd gigs or weird "get paid to party" posts. I also find it fascinating that the fashion industry still thinks it's okay to overwork people while paying them shit with the justification you're "working in fashion." The sad part is, there are...

High Maintenance Girls

Why do men date high maintenance girls, specifically ones with a princess mentality? Is it worth it? Is that what it is? Or do they fall in love before realizing how crazy she is? I just feel bad when I see guys who are so whipped that they don't even realize what's happening. It's like...

Cool Kids

I remember in high school there were two types of cool. You were either a prep or skater. The preppy kids wore a lot of Abercrombie, Lacoste, and North Face. Lots of designer purses and some Urban Outfitters thrown in there for the girls who wanted to be "boho" for a year. Then there were...

Marbled

I find myself talking to my mom a lot, because we're always talking about beauty products, makeup tips, or skincare something. I felt like I was leaving my dad out so I decided to include him today. Me: Hey Dad, look at my nails. Aren't they fun? (Dad looks at my nails, peering, trying to...

The Fashion Industry

One of the key selling points of the fashion industry is that there's always something new you're missing out on. This new trend will make you prettier, cooler, taller, slimmer, more attractive, and therefore happier. And then there are those fashion rules like you can't wear this with that or this color with that color....

How To Fight Conformity

Conformity was never really my color. There was always something about conformity that bothered me. Maybe it was the fact that I had to live up to other people's standards, which repelled me since I would inevitably fail (I can't even live up to my own standards). Or maybe it was the fact that I didn't...

I’m Christmas

Why are people so obsessed with age? I remember talking to a male friend who said there's a saying. A joke. A funny. Women are like Christmas. When they're 24, it's like Christmas Eve and 25 is Christmas Day. Meaning 25 is the prime age that men want women to be (marriage, dating, etc.) After...

Maybe I Don’t Care

This weekend, I went to a friend's party, something I was looking forward to all week. It's been a while since I've been out and I was excited to get dressed up and meet new people. As I got ready Saturday night, I thought about what I wanted to wear and how I wanted to look....
