Coming Soon? Instagram Files Series
Over the last several months I’ve realized I use Instagram a lot to create what would ordinarily be blog posts.

I can’t imagine what it must …

Transported in Reversible KFLY Dress
Cue up theĀ Out of AfricaĀ soundtrack. We’re going on a safari. I don’t remember much about the plot ofĀ Out of AfricaĀ but I remember everything about how the costumes and the music made me feel. The tailored elegance and exquisite fashion filled my artistic soul. It etched in me a desire to dress just like Meryl Streep’s …
