satchel hell (aka impulse shopping)
*groooooan*
i made a booboo.
it’s all my mom’s fault.
she said she wanted a particular red handbag from calvin klein. i went on the site and next thing you know, i spent a couple hundred – on clothes for myself (sorry, mom, couldn’t find the bag)!
it only got worse from there. ( Read more )

i hadn’t planned on including a piece that i’d already written. however, i wrote last year’s piece, “what michelle obama can teach us that models can’t” during last year’s fashion week, and a year later, while seeing some pictures from new york fashion week, i feel overly compelled to write an updated version of the same piece.

a size by any other name
so, i clicked and skimmed this article on a model who increased her weight and the industrial effects of that (yeah, i know better). it was somewhat interesting, though, which is why i’m putting it here (in traditional adia form, i’ve eliminated numbers and specific behaviors). i like it because it calls out the b.s. of the fashion industry.
At size [meh], Fashion Week model Coco Rocha, 21, is latest of many women considered fat by industry

a few days ago, i received an e-mail from andrea pippins, which reads in part:
Recently I read your great article Good Hair Wars on The Huffington Post and thought you might be interested in my new online shop called I Love My Hair, The shop features pieces that celebrate naturally coily hair through art and design. Please take a look and spread the word if you dig it.
i definitely dug it, so i’m happy to spread the word!
