The Last Word

I think that this is one of the most special eras in which to be a woman.

I feel unprepared to go see Black Panther at the cinema.

Every season, the fashion community tends to embrace a new pop-culture star as it does with models.

Purchasing beauty products and clothing inspired by celebrities has never been my thing.

Maybe it’s social media and feeling the need to constantly update feeds with click bait posts, or the psychological need for self-actualization but this era seems to be the one mostly involved in the social charge for all types of rights.

Fashion has always been seen and appreciated as a safe haven by those who felt isolated.

Once every month, I despise being a woman. Despite becoming like clockwork, my period always manages to turn me into the most moody and frightful person no matter how hard I try to manage my emotions.

After watching about ten different “Black Mirror” episodes in total from different seasons on Netflix, the idea that technology will eventually change us all seems disturbing and undesirable.

Perhaps you have grown tired of hearing it by now, but please allow me to extend well wishes to you and yours for the New Year.

As we prepare to say goodbye to 2017 we should probably consider not taking exhausted trends and terrible habits into 2018 with us.

I don’t think I have ever considered ageing to be a difficult and unglamorous aspect of life.

It’s hard to believe that almost an entire year is about to end and it is that time again to turn our lives upside down to supposedly be merry for the most anticipated holiday of the year, Christmas.

Digital media can be both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because of its cost effectiveness, immediacy and adaptability and a curse because through its abundance and steadiness it can potentially exhaust its content.

As self-satisfying as the idea of going completely natural with your hair is, it is easier said than done.

Children are the latest fashion accessory for millennial parents. A bit of lurking on Instagram’s explore page is bound to turn up the pages of popular accounts like Landon Lee’s or Asahd Khaled’s (son of DJ Khaled), in which you will see them in the latest children’s wear.

As news outlets became embroiled during the course of last week with the revelations of American film producer and co-founder of Miramax Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assault and rape accusations, the hashtag #metoo surfaced on Facebook and Twitter with women around the world sharing their own individual stories of sexual assault and harassment.
