Maybe I’m not alone on this, but I often find myself torn between wildly different “looks” as I try to develop my own unique sense of style. Sometimes, in the current Instagram-lifestyle-brand fashion world, I feel like I’m that friend who was fine with casually dating until I noticed that everyone else had seemingly already…

Intro to Spanish Style with Inés Ybarra
Recently, I took a DNA test called 23andMe, and I learned that I have Iberian ancestry (aka, the peninsula of Spain and Portugal). My ego immediately pounced on this information, using it to fill in the blanks of my life that could benefit from some glamorization: of course I love bright color and pattern clashing,…
Modern Greek Tragedy: Style Breakdown of “Little England” for Fashion x Film
This week, I continued my partnership with Fashion x Film with another style breakdown of another beautiful film that I only recently discovered– director Pantelis Voulgaris’s “Little England”. For me, this film brought up a lot of murky questions (as if from the bottom of the Aegean Sea. If you get where I’m going with…
Sofia Coppola: Style Lessons for Fashion x Film
The immersive power of film is what makes us come back for more. When the lights go down, the black box of a theater becomes a blank canvas for the world of the film to paint, and we find ourselves personally invested in the problems of other places, times, and lives. The world on screen…
Being a Maximalist with The Scarlet Bob
Minimalism has its appeal: it can be a wardrobe reset, relieve the stress of getting done-up, and can deliver some peace of mind to the day-to-day hustle of life by making the decision of what to wear a bit easier. But for some, keeping it simple is more of a demand than a respite. What…
Why is Eastern European Fashion on the Rise?

Designer spotlight: Rosie Assoulin
Rosie Assoulin is a designer who provokes a feeling of the surreal; firstly for her designs, but also for the level accessibility her career path has had. Assoulin only launched her brand in 2013, but she made an immediate impact, with Vogue having consistently kept their finger on her playful creations’ pulse, and her clothing…
Trend Trash
Somewhere in our minds, there is an understanding that many feats or goals in life are impossible to produce in an instant. There are countless proverbs that reflect this understanding: “Rome wasn’t built in one day.” “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.” In Italian, there is “la gatta frettolosa ha fatto i gattini…
