One of the most significant criteria I use for deciding if I should share a collection to the blog or Patreon is if I absolutely cannot shake them from my head. Most of what I look at tends to run together after awhile. That’s not necessarily the fault of the designers. I simply look at so many pieces that my brain is constantly looking for trends and commonalities. Another brand […]
Gabi Gregg has done it again. The new GabiFresh x Swimsuits for All collection is here, and, like the rest of the collective internet, I’m in love. This year’s theme is “New Year, Same You,” and I adore that tagline, especially during a season when people are actively being encouraged to dramatically change (or even loathe) their bodies.

However, now that I’m in place where the weather is constantly, mind-numbingly gorgeous, I’m feeling the lack in my wardrobe. I’d love to go the beach or lay poolside…without worrying that I’m wearing the one swimsuit I do own to […]
