The tech style revolution is only just beginning: what started out with pedometers has quickly transformed into wrist-phones we daydreamed of in the eras preceding the 21st century. What with hover boards and holograms, we are seeming to catch up to the endeavor of reaching the future we envisioned in films like Back to the…

VMA’s: A Slutty Carpet Ride
Between Chrissy Teigan and Gigi Hadid, it’s clear everyone lives in a delusional world in which they are Beyoncé…years ago. We shall define Hadid’s look as the whore-slit onesie: is it too much to ask that women cover their crotches? This would be appropriate as a swimsuit and wrap! Teigan’s is just trashy….
Fashion Ads
I said I was all of a sudden going to look a lot more normal with the onset of the androgyny and dandy trend for fall, 😂. The Versace ad shown below looks like it could’ve been styled in my closet…yes, I have leather meggings (although it was for Halloween). I can’t recall seeing a…
Beauty Haul
My Ulta Haul includes NYX color mascaras in CM08 Pink Perfect and CM07 Forget Me Not, L’Oréal’s True Match concealer in Fair/Light, and Maybelline’s Baby Lips in 115 Mad for Magenta.

Acrylic Nails: the Truth
I, not knowing my nails would instantly be destroyed, thought I’d get stiletto nails or “claws” for Halloween last year…cut to 8 months later, my nails have finally grown out and healed. You can see why I’ve kept them polished: that’s black polish stuck in the layers, yes layers, that chipped and peeled…
YeezyBoost: Shit Talker Makes Crap
All the shit talking Kanye West spewed on fashion…and the product he puts out is crap? The Yeezy Boost 350 is an ugly sneaker, the likes of which we’ve seen in the early 2000’s. We’re not impressed, get over yourself “Yeezus.”
Toxic Beauty: Ugly Truth
We associate beauty with youth, health, clear skin, and shiny long hair, but can the chemicals in your beauty & household products cause cancer & disease, premature aging, and worse, poison and negatively impact your health? Just because it’s sold in stores, online, or is produced by big name companies, consumers feel the…
Ethics in Beauty & Fashion
I found myself wondering, while washing my makeup brushes, are these Cruelty Free? I’m so against fur I know I’ve never bought it, but could natural fiber brushes be a source I overlooked? Ethics in fashion and beauty has, in recent times, been referred to as one of those topics with which, “where…
