The summer heat has me at a standstill.
I won’t lie to you — it’s been quite nice spending time away from fashion and taking time for myself. If I can be real with you for a moment — picture me leaning in — I’ve found my self-confidence again, and it’s wonderful. This isn’t a therapy session, so I won’t bore you with the specifics, but we can chat about it in person over a glass of wine.
As for fashion, I’m feeling excited about it again. Maybe it’s the colder weather rolling in, but the spark’s back. Swapping my usual fashion content for magazines like Fruits has helped — seeing more genuine and exceptional fits. Being more active through hiking and running has helped too, even if my knees ache like Greg Oden’s (former Trail Blazer, retired after too many knee injuries).
Now that I’m healed, I figured it was time for a scandalous purchase. Okay, maybe not scandalous — but big. I’ve been obsessed ever since I first saw it.
Let’s take a peek, shall we?
No. 286 Cropped Oversized Jacket by Gabriela Coll
Remember the first time you laid eyes on a Costco hot dog?
A wave of peace and enlightenment hits you — time freezes, the world blurs, and all that matters is the dog in your hand. This is how I felt seeing Gabriela Coll’s latest drop at Neighbour, and let me tell you — my bank account is frightened.
