Occasionally I publish Research Lists wherein I am looking for some fashion item for myself and either need your help or to share my work with the class. Today, we are doing something different. Today, you must go purchase these shorts: AE Dreamy Drape Stretch Short My husband wears what I would consider “real” shorts…
This is a ridiculous new post series of business advice I’m learning and relearning and relearning and relearning every day. I led a meeting today that I was very, very prepared for—great deck, great ideas, great contributions from my team. And it gave me this badass “don’t give a fuck” attitude about the team that…
I almost tweeted a link to this article about AOC sharing beauty tips but believe my reaction is more nuanced than a tweet can contain. How badass is it that a young freshman senator is now collectively known by her initials just a few short months after her election? How badass is it that she…
Are you supposed to get your friends going away presents when you’re the one leaving? I did (these wish bracelets), and wrote them love letters, because they are the best. Perhaps it’s worth sharing a few snippets, in celebration of the girl friendships formed in five years living in OC that will be some of the…
I’ve been using the Girl of Two Shoes metaphor for a very long time (here’s the og). I never stopped to think about if it’s still serving me. Now that I have, it’s time to retire it. Because y’know what? We’re past thinking women even need to be/should/are “high-heeled” (girly) or “tennis-shoed” (tomboy). Women as…
This isn’t about women. It’s about power. That men hold. Feminism isn’t about females, it’s about equality. So much of today’s senate hearings—which are senate hearings, not court trials (though they obviously will affect future trials)—focus on the accuser, not the accused. She is not nominated for the supreme court, her alleged attacker is. The…
It took me a long time to come around to wearing Tevas (still a no on Chacos) but now that I do, I love them—for outdoor pursuits. (sidebar: did you KNOW the word Tevas looks shockingly like Texas at a glance??) ((sidebar sidebar: I saw on instagram so it must be true that Norwegians use…
When my trekking backpack won’t do, and my ski backpack probably would—it’s done week-long trips in Hawaii and Morocco, after all—my upcoming two-week trip through Europe seems like a great excuse for a new travel backpack. Here are a few I’m eyeing … Adult Backpacking Backpacks Shop packs at this link (NOT affiliate links). Extras:…
Feminist or not, it’s undoubtedly hard to navigate the various expectations around being female these days, what with their contradictions, restrictions, freedoms, and hypocrisies. Here are a few articles that explore some of these concepts, with telling quotes pulled out from each. “I wonder why we understand ownership so much better when we’re talking…
Look at these stellar trios of women (an impressive morning-to-night top row tbh)… Women who love, uplift, support, believe in, and play (football, volleyball, in the general sense of the word) with other women are certainly a thing to cherish. Thankful for girls that don’t compete, belittle, or disparage other girls. Beyond grateful for my…
