Ok, so I’ve been on a bit of hiatus. March was a really tough month for me. The shit really hit the fan in my personal life. I’ve been trying to be kind to myself – so I’ve been doing a lot of traveling to spend time with friends (the photo above is from a [...]

If you follow me on Instagram (or have looked at my right sidebar lately), you may have noticed that I’ve been taking lots of pictures of my shoes. One day I wore a pair of boots that I thought had a fun story, so I wanted to put them on Instagram. The next day I [...]

Remember last week’s Threadflip review? Well now every Thursday I’ll be reviewing a different website for SF Fashion + Tech. This week I checked out the Fancy, which is a Pinterest rival but with stronger e-commerce. If you’re not on the Fancy yet (if you’re a latecomer like me) then you should definitely join, check [...]
