After much anticipation, Oakland singer Kehlani’s debut album was released on January 27th. Survivor of an early 2016 suicide attempt, the girl has heart and outstanding work ethic. Her fans, lovingly referred to as “Tsunami Mob”, have always admired her persistency and focus (myself included). She’s been grinding from the beginning to show emotional versatility in her pre-stated… Continue reading Very Sweet, Very Sexy, and Maybe Too Savage?

Doing Valentine’s Day Single
Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and if you’re anything like me, you’ve already made vague plans for a five-course meal at a table for one. Of course, “table for one” here translates to “the comforts of one’s own bed” and a five-course meal may or may not involve frequenting the kitchen for snacks whenever you can bear… Continue reading Doing Valentine’s Day Single
Gilly Hicks V-Day Party!
Do you remember when Gilly Hicks used to be its own store? Me neither. Apparently the brand used to have 28 stores, one of which was located in Aventura, Florida. After its inability to find its niche in the lingerie world, it eventually closed down in 2014 and retired to a lonely corner of Hollister stores.… Continue reading Gilly Hicks V-Day Party!
Ordering MI SUPERSTAR RT SHOES
I’ve never been too much of a shoe person; for the most part, I wear the same black pair of sneakers until they become old and tired and my mom buys a new pair just to get me to throw the old ones out. A couple weeks ago, I decided (of my own free will) that… Continue reading Ordering MI SUPERSTAR RT SHOES
Outfit Spotlight #1
As you all know, I recently ventured out to American Apparel to visit in its final days (and hopefully find a good sale!). I left with two pieces: a bodysuit and a skirt. I was incredibly excited with my purchases and rushed their debut despite the inconvenient weather. Florida actually decided to be cold so… Continue reading Outfit Spotlight #1
Weighing in on #deleteuber
A trend is quickly spreading across Twitter with the hashtag “#deleteuber” after Uber seemingly undermined the NY Taxi Workers Alliance’s strike on the Muslim ban at JFK. People were outraged as a mere 30 minutes after the strike was announced, Uber posted about removing their surge pricing at JFK. In other words, they appeared to… Continue reading Weighing in on #deleteuber
Farewell to American Apparel
We’re all somewhat familiar with American Apparel: 1989 LA founded, minimalist aesthetic. No one noticed as the company stopped making profit and filed for bankruptcy at the end of 2015. Now its 110 stores are closing and everyone is stunned. After seeing the initial twitter message about the closing store and reading articles describing how… Continue reading Farewell to American Apparel
The Deal with Urban Outfitters
Urban Outfitters (UO) comes out with some pretty creative stuff, no doubt about it. It tends to be on the pricey side but there’s nothing wrong with splurging every once in a while. However, my real issue lies not with their prices, but their use of inappropriate and offensive messages. Just recently, I happened to… Continue reading The Deal with Urban Outfitters
