Last year I discovered Abigail Bell Vintage — the up and coming IG shop for vintage home decor. (Seriously — act now, she’s blowing up as we speak.) And a few months ago, when I was last in New York, we got to meet IRL for the first time. I…

Hold the phone, if you haven’t read my first post on The Kit, hop over there before you read this post… Okay good, please continue. By now you know that I’m not really a fan of “fussy” clothing. Anything that requires too much maintenance while you are wearing it (re-adjusting…
The thesis of this blog, from a sartorial standpoint, is mixing vintage with contemporary brands: not everyone can and wants to rock a 100% vintage wardrobe (myself included). Vintage rules because it’s totally unique and a more sustainable way to shop. And current brands rule because they’re more accessible and…
It’s been a minute since I shared a vintage shop with y’all. And, to be honest, I almost don’t want to tell you about this one and keep all her stuff for myself. Muahahahaha *evil laugh* But seriously, I can honestly say that every single item in Luxie Vintage’s shop…
Welcome to my third installment of holiday outfit styling featuring pieces from Omnia Vintage! You can read Part I here, and Part II here. You guys know I embrace any excuse to wear my pajamas out on the town. I’ve even written about it before, more than once (here and…
Part 1 of my holiday styling series is here! I have barely been able to contain myself these past few weeks. I knew I wanted to bring you some holiday blog content, but I wanted it to be diffffffffferent. Like me, I’m sure you’re all sick of the same old…
Is anyone else slightly worried that it’s December and I haven’t even pulled my heavy winter coats out of storage yet? Yeahhhh. This can’t be good. Anyways, last week I promised you a Shop Small Gift Guide, and I’m here to deliver! I’m also including a super fun shoot I…
If you watch my Get Dressed With Me series on Insta Stories, then you know how I go about building an outfit. My girl Nicole (Writes Like a Girl) calls it “intuition-based dressing.” Which is a term that I love. I like to choose one piece and then build the…

I feel like by now, we’re all aware of the negative implications of fast fashion. If you’d like a refresher, The L.A. Times just published an insightful (and distressing) piece on Forever 21’s unethical manufacturing practices. But avoiding fast fashion takes real effort: as women (and especially as bloggers) there…
![[Photo and words @wokebeauty] What are your plans for tomorrow? Or the day after that? When the streets become empty again and the news cycle moves on, what will you do? More importantly, when Instagram is not inundated with anti-racist resources, where will you go to find them? It can seem time-consuming and overwhelming to begin to craft your own anti-racist toolbox and unlearn privilege. That’s because it is.
⠀
You have donated resources. Now you need to hone in and donate your time.
⠀
Yes, you need to read but if this is about systemically rearranging your life to confront your own privilege (it is,) then you need to find ways that fit your method of learning. Watch videos of old activists speaking; YouTube and Wikipedia words and concepts you don’t know. Download audiobooks if you learn best by listening, and undertake exercises in writing and art to reflect and deconstruct.
⠀
You will not learn how to be anti-racist overnight. It is a lifestyle change, one that actively meets you exactly where you are at in life, and calls you to disrupt.
⠀
When I ask you what your plans are for tomorrow, tell me how you’re going to dedicate time to learning to unlearn. Tell me your specific, actionable plans. Tell me, unprompted, your plans for the day after that and the day after that. And when I ask you the next day, what your plans are for tomorrow, don’t tell me. Show me the work.
