May 27, 2019 at 09:00AM by CWC To help get me in the mood to write this piece, I cued up Alanis Morissette’s “Jagged Little Pill.” The album, originally released in 1995, transported me back to a simpler time. In the ’90s, I begged my parents to let me buy a pair of Steve Madden… Continue Reading →

May 11, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC The fashion industry’s carbon footprint is no joke: Its “long supply chains and energy intensive production” contribute to 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and consumes more energy than the shipping and airline industries combined, according to the United Nations. But, thankfully for Mother Nature and eco-conscious… Continue Reading →

March 01, 2019 at 04:28AM by CWC Before you @ me for talking about spring fashion trends, March 20, also known as the first day of spring, is less than three weeks away. It’s still definitely wintering outside, but the days are getting longer and with that additional sunlight comes the promise of warmer weather… Continue Reading →

February 25, 2019 at 09:20AM by CWC Without a doubt, pink was one of the standout trends of the evening at the 2019 Academy Awards on Sunday. In all tones, silhouettes, trends, and styles, celebrities hit the red carpet in pink looks that wowed. While you might not exactly be in the market for a… Continue Reading →

February 23, 2019 at 12:32PM by CWC What I’m about to say might sound incendiary, but what if you left your leather jacket hanging in your closet this spring and swapped it for another reliable throw-on-and-go: the oversized blazer? With a little more tailored flare, it’s a worthy alternative, especially considering some of the chic… Continue Reading →

February 19, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC Last September, online retailer Nasty Gal announced that it was “finally joining the party” and dropping its first ever extended-size capsule collection, offering its signature silk minidresses and high-waisted jeans in sizes 0-18. While this news did garner a lot of double-taps, many other women in the plus-size… Continue Reading →

February 15, 2019 at 01:56PM by CWC We’re in the midst of the fashion week sprints (just as the catwalk lights in New York dim, they flash on in London)—a time I usually love because of all the fresh wardrobe, makeup, and hair inspo I’m able to absorb. I usually welcome all the haute trends, from bedazzled… Continue Reading →

February 11, 2019 at 10:46AM by CWC When fashion week comes around, between the street style and dozens of runway shows, I’m often visually overwhelmed—and this year was no different. Once I got over my impulse to throw all my clothing out (it happens every fashion month), I finally digested the collections and came to… Continue Reading →

February 04, 2019 at 07:29AM by CWC Whenever a fashion brand announces that it’s offering extended sizing—or newly entering the market with a focus on dressing plus-size women—the general reaction is usually one of celebration. Inclusivity’s always a good thing, right? Well, duh. Plus-size shoppers have been majorly underserved by the fashion industry (if not… Continue Reading →

January 22, 2019 at 11:41AM by CWC Every city has its “thing” when it comes to fashion. Parisian designers deal in effortless glamour, New York’s the epicenter of individuality and personal expression, while Los Angeles and San Francisco—where so many healthy trends begin—are quickly gaining a reputation as hotbeds of crazy-covetable sustainable fashion labels. Perhaps… Continue Reading →

January 09, 2019 at 09:10AM by CWC Celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski and Beyoncé show up to watch pro basketball games looking glamorous and amazing, which I will admit deeply appeals to me. But even I, a person prone to being the most, have a hard time wrapping my head around what to wear to watch… Continue Reading →

December 27, 2018 at 10:14AM As 2018 slowly winds to an end, let’s all collectively undo the top button on our mom jeans, loosen the laces on our dad sneakers, and let out one big sartorial sigh of relief. Phew! We made it, folks. Fashion was all over the place this past year. Depending on… Continue Reading →

December 21, 2018 at 11:18AM Between the extremes of fast fashion and high-end design, there’s a subtle, but massive, industry shift happening toward accessible luxury items. It’s largely thanks to the tastes and conscientious shopping habits of millennials. But what is accessible luxury exactly? The definition is open to interpretation depending on your disposable income…. Continue Reading →

December 20, 2018 at 05:02AM The holidays are that special time of year when wearing your pajamas to the airport and lounging around your parents’ house for hours on end in your sweats is completely acceptable. The mere prospect of wearing “real clothes”—AKA jeans, dresses, and tops—suddenly feels like a dreadfully unnecessary task, and, in… Continue Reading →

December 12, 2018 at 08:47AM The most authentic way to embrace the French lifestyle is planning a trip to Paris. But because of you know—time, work, and money—the next best thing is to embrace those little life and style hacks that will bring you joie de vivre (or happiness). But dressing like a French girl… Continue Reading →

December 11, 2018 at 09:12AM In 2018, leggings stopped being doubted as pants, sneakers proved they can be rocked with gym clothes and girly dresses, and once-dusty fanny packs basically became a wardrobe staple… again. So it’s no wonder why some of Pinterest’s top fashion searches feature plenty of activewear and streetwear, proving just how hot wellness is… Continue Reading →

December 01, 2018 at 02:00AM First, there was normcore (dressing like a normal person, so creative right?), then there was dadcore (chunky sneakers, and all), and now, gorpcore is the form of fashion taking over the runways and streets. But what, exactly, is a gorp anyways? In truth, it’s an acronym for “good old raisins and… Continue Reading →

November 27, 2018 at 07:20AM Ashlee Piper started wearing sustainable fashion nearly a decade ago—way before faux fur was everywhere and you could buy eco-friendly clothing at H&M. She was not what you’d have called a conscientous consumer at the time…to put it mildly. “I was a fast fashion disaster,” says Piper, who is now a… Continue Reading →

November 09, 2018 at 09:03AM Drink a lot of water. It’s the oldest trick in the book, and yet, one that I heard time-and-time again when I went backstage at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show (which will air on December 2) this year. While models have access to all the perks of a wellness life well-lived… Continue Reading →
