As a teenager, shopping the designer section at Oakland Crossroads was my introduction to the world of fashion. As I got older and honed my personal style, I never stopped sourcing my clothes through resale platforms and vintage stores.

Most of my posts have free previews with full access reserved for paid subscribers.

I love that I’m able to write independently on Substack: cover the topics I want and highlight smaller designers I’m passionate about.

Your paid subscription makes it possible for me to dedicate the time and labor spent on this newsletter, and I am so appreciative of your support! If you love my writing but cannot afford the subscription, send me an email and we can figure something out.
