This week, my coworker Joel brought in a massive stack of vintage NYLON, Jalouse and FLAUNT magazines for me! I can’t wait to sit down and flip through their pristine pages to see what 2003 was like (I was in college full time and need a refresher!) All week, I’ve been surrounded by black and [...]

Luckily, in the digital age, it’s easier than ever to view past magazine covers and issues! 1. Cover Browser [...]

This is what I wore on the morning that I left for the Phoenix airport. The sun was so bright that I didn’t manage to get a good front shot of my outfit. This look was a bit warm for Phoenix, but perfect for when I got off the plane in rainy Portland, ready to [...]
