Of Another Fashion is an archive curated by the Minh-Ha T. Pham. Pham is an academic from Cornell University her research focuses on the convergence of fashion, race, gender and media.… View Post

Also having a great pair of boots really makes dressing way easier because a good pair of boots can be worn in a variety of ways!

My latest read is Things Don’t Have to Be Complicated: Illustrated Six-Word Memoirs by Students Making Sense of the World.  The inspiration of the Six-Word Memoir comes from the combination of Larry Smith’s grandfather (Smitty) and the legend that Ernest Hemingway was once asked to write a novel in just six words…according to this legend Hemingway’s response: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Larry Smith joined forces with a… View Post
