C'est La Vie

Luxury has never been about the logo for me. It’s about craftsmanship. Intention. The feeling a piece gives you long after you’ve bought it. Lately, I’ve found myself drawn to Prada—not because it’s trending, but because the brand has always challenged the idea of what luxury can look like. Prada doesn’t chase attention. It earns it through design, quality, and a willingness to take risks while…

Future’s “Build a Bitch” Already Has a Music Video in My Head Every now and then, I’ll hear a song and instantly see the visuals before there’s even a music video. That’s exactly what happened when I listened to Future’s “Build a Bitch.” My mind immediately went to The Twilight Zone episode “The After Hours”—my favorite episode of the entire series. I don’t mean recreating the episode scene…

I’ve been listening to Resurrection Project, and one thing keeps coming to mind: Chlöe found her sound. This isn’t an artist trying on different identities. This feels focused, intentional, and completely confident. Every song feels like its own gem, but together they create a project that’s impossible to stop listening to. Timbaland’s production is exactly what I hoped it would be. The beats…

Confessions II Has Me Voguing Again I’ve had Confessions II on repeat since it dropped, and one thing is certain: this album makes me want to dance. Not just dance—vogue. There’s something about the production that instantly pulls me in. Every beat feels intentional, every transition keeps the momentum going, and before I know it, I’m lost in the music. That’s what I love about Madonna. She…

Friday night I was on H&M looking for a loafer and somehow got sidetracked. Then I stumbled across this Stella McCartney dress featuring the brand’s signature Falabella chain detail and immediately became infatuated. The dress itself is pretty simple. Long. Rib-knit. Grey. Racerback. The chain, however, is another story. If you’re familiar with Stella McCartney handbags, then you know exactly…

Go to yeezy.com and the message is clear: the clothes are the statement. The homepage feels like a gallery. Every piece laid out with no extras. Select an item and you’ll only see the product name, the price, and a size selector. No oversized logo, no campaign text. Just the garment. That same stripped-down energy extends to the business model. With Adidas officially done liquidating the last of…

The best way to enjoy music is to really get to know it. I like to study it. “Repetition is the father of learning,” and if I’ve got an album on repeat, that means I’m into it for real. Right now that’s Mariah the Scientist’s new album, Hearts Sold Separately (listen here). I didn’t just play it once and move on. I sat with it. I let the transitions flow, caught the lyrics, the melodies, the…

Proenza Schouler is moving into a new era. Founders Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez are stepping away, and Rachel Scott is stepping in as Creative Director. Her debut drops February 2026 with the Fall/Winter ’26 collection. I’ll be watching! Proenza has always been personal for me. The PS1 bag is still that girl, a forever piece in my closet. Excited to see how Rachel carries the brand…

I fell in love with Tammi Terrell in 4th grade when my music teacher played “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” in class. Her voice with Marvin Gaye gave me chills. That moment introduced me to Motown, and not long after, we took a class trip to the Motown Museum on West Grand Boulevard on the west side of Detroit. Walking through that house seeing the cribs, instruments, and clothes made me fall in…

Sometimes it’s not the place, but the pause. The Out of Office scented pen was made for that in-between energy. The mood where you’re not logged on, but not completely tuned out either. Somewhere in the Gray Area. With a soft matte finish and gentle aroma, this pen invites you to slow down, write intentionally, and enjoy a little leisure in motion. Whether you’re journaling, signing, or simply…

Kanye West might as well be licensed for making the world stop and stare. Whether it’s through music, fashion, or just sheer unpredictability, he knows how to keep eyes locked on his current/next move. This time, it’s all about the Yeezy SL-01—his latest minimalist sneaker silhouette. The new colorways? A sleek grey and an icy white, proving once again that Ye can make even the simplest designs…

I listened to The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow last night, and when “Take Me Back to LA” came on, it immediately felt like a continuation of his story of escape, a full circle moment from Escape from LA. In After Hours, he was running away, realizing the emptiness behind the city’s glamour. Now, in this final chapter of his trilogy, he’s asking to be taken back, not just to a place, but to a…

It’s been 20 years since The Game dropped The Documentary, and it still hits like it did in 2005. Back then, I was reciting “How We Do” word for word and catching the video on MTV Jams every Sunday on the Week. The album felt like a gangster’s diary, raw and real, bringing West Coast rap back into the spotlight. Tracks like “Dreams” (Kanye’s production is unmatched), “How We Do,” “Like Father,…

Kanye is back at it, shaking things up with Yeezy slippers that are sleek, simple, and only $20. Yup, $20. No logos, no clothing tags, no unnecessary extras—just a clean slip on design. The sizing is straightforward, too. Ranging from 2 to 16, these slippers look to be the perfect ‘Get up and go’ shoe. The price tag says it all: Kanye is making high fashion affordable. It’s not about…

It’s hard to believe that John Legend’s Grammy Award-winning debut album Get Lifted turns 20 years old today! 🎈 On December 28, 2004—his 26th birthday—John released the album that forever changed the landscape of soul and hip-hop. I’ll never forget hearing John for the first time on my own birthday, February 10, 2004 when Kanye West debuted The College Dropout. It was such a special moment, and…

Embracing my peaceful Saturday morning as I walk my poodle, the live instrumentation, particularly the saxophone, from Jay Worthy & MadeinTYO’s Time After Time blends effortlessly with the early birds chirping as we ease into fall. This collaboration isn’t surprising—Jay Worthy’s storytelling combined with MadeinTYO’s natural production flow creates the perfect vibe. The saxophone adds a calm,…
