33 Things I’ve Learned in 33 Years

This is not meant as advice. It’s really just a list of things I’ve learned, some of which I wish I learned sooner, some of which I’ve invested a lot of time and money in therapy trying to figure out, and some of which has been passed down to me as advice from other, much, much smarter people. So on the occasion of my 33rd birthday (which was this Monday), I’m going to use this space to reflect a bit on some of those lessons. Literally none of this is groundbreaking, and much of it is totaaaally obvious (especially in retrospect), but maybe it will be helpful, and maybe not. In any case, here we are:

Denim Daze

This might sound a little strange... but growing up, Bloomingdale's was honestly one of the places I dreamed of shopping at one day. The NYC import made its way to LA when I was a tween, and when...

Wrap Around the Holidays

When LOFT launched extended sizes earlier this year, I was excited to bring it into my wardrobe as part of a great rotation of brands I can rely on: the quality is great, it's accessibly priced, and...

And in 2014, I collaborated with the brand on my first collection, working closely with their design team to create pieces together that spoke to my personal style and to my personal ethos that fashion can, and should, be a source of empowerment regardless of what a person’s body looks like.
