Like probably most of you, my 20s was a wild roller coaster of unhinged fashion choices. I kicked off my 20s Gossip Girl style - wearing peplum skirts and heels to my classes at NYU (in 40 degree weather, mind you). I entered my mid-20s as a sneakerhead with a collection that should have probably landed me somewhere on Complex, and then also survived pandemic fashion. Now at 30, my focus is laser sharp on investing in pieces that will last a lifetime and I feel more like myself than ever. In today's episode, I talk through the most impactful style learnings from my last decade that are helping me thrive in this new one. Love the show? Follow us and leave a review!

When I moved back to Los Angeles from New York City in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic, I had no idea that I'd be finding my way into a different kind of fashion industry. What once was a fashion community that people called non-existent, or "second rate" has actually become a flourishing city of up-and-coming designers, creatives, and thought leaders. And with designers from CHANEL to Saint Laurent choosing LA as the backdrop for their celebrity events and shows, it begs the question: could LA be the next real fashion hub? Today I chat with a California native and Who What Wear Editor in Chief Kat Collings Wolf on what it's really like to build a fashion career in Los Angeles from the ground up. We talk internships, the key differences between the coastal industries, and why we think some of the top brands in the world are turning to the City of Angels for inspiration. Follow Kat on Instagram @KatCollingsLove the show?

Jewelry can sometimes feel like an afterthought, the thing you throw on at the end of getting ready as you're rushing out the door. But honing in on your jewelry style is just as important as honing in on your personal style - it's a part of your outfit where you can show your individuality and be a great conversation starter. In today's episode, I share my best tips for identifying your unique jewelry self, from your skin tone to the colors that work best with your wardrobe. I also share my current obsessions in the jewelry space and where I'm shopping to add to my wardrobe. Love the show? Follow us and leave a review!

During the 2020 election, I recorded an episode with Marissi Ingrasci, a teacher and coach from the Hoffman Process. The episode featured a practice called a Quadrinity Check, also known as a Quad Check, that holds space for us to check in with the five aspects of our being - Body, Emotional Self, Intellect, Spiritual Self, and Spirit Guide. With so much going on at the time, I wanted the episode to feel like a moment of respite and a helpful tool that my community could go back to at any time of grief or anxiety. In the past two weeks, it's been something I've come back to often while watching the devastating events unfold in the Middle East. I hope that this episode gives you a sense of calm amid the chaos, and serves as a reminder to take care of ourselves so we can best take care of our communities. The Hoffman Quadrinity Process®, founded by Bob Hoffman in 1967, is a week-long residential and personal growth retreat that helps participants identify negative behaviors, moods, and ways of thinking that developed unconsciously and were conditioned in childhood.

Rachel Tabb has had good style since middle school, which is something I definitely can't say for myself. She's always looked like a supermodel straight out of the 90s with a perfectly polished and minimalist wardrobe that would give Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy a run for her money. Today, that style is the capstone of her vintage business, Shop RLT, a store in Los Angeles filled with her curation of vintage finds from eBay, to the Rosebowl, and beyond. From denim to tees, vintage YSL and more, RLT has quickly become my favorite vintage store in LA for its edit of everyday clothing that I can have for a lifetime.

Zoe Lister-Jones is an actor, writer, director, and producer, and personally, a girl crush. You've seen her in How It Ends, A Good Person, and the first episode of her new show (also written, directed, and starred in by her) Slip, aired over the weekend. It's a show where her character transports to parallel universes through orgasm - it's whitty, sharp, and too much fun. She's also a bonafide style star for her eclectic and vintage style, from matching Markarian suits to bold collars, bows and more. In this episode, Zoe and I talk about our obsession with parallel universes, how she uses fashion to find new versions of herself, and her most prized possession in her closet.    Catch Slip now on Roku.    Love the show?

Jenna Lyons is nothing short of an icon. Fun fact, she’s actually the reason I got into fashion. From a young age, I was obsessed with her perspective on personal style. It was a blend of highs and lows - a Schiaparelli skirt with a button down top, or a feather skirt paired with denim - that defied what was the fashion “norm” and made you feel like hey, anything goes. It’s that ethos that has been the foundation of the way I dress and what I try to share through my platforms. If you love it, wear it. Take up all the space. So needless to say, this was a bucket list moment. Jenna is one of the most recognizable faces in fashion. She started at J. Crew as an assistant and blazed her way through to the top, building a 27 year career that made her the face of the brand and dubbed the “woman who dressed America” by the New York Times. Since leaving J. Crew, she’s founded LoveSeen, an eyelash extension company, and is about to grace our television screens as a newly announced member of the next season of The Real Housewives of New York City. In this episode, I talk Jenna about redefining beauty, her thoughts on the fashion industry today, and her unexpected new chapter.    Shop LoveSeen here https://loveseen.com   Love the show?

Pastry chef turned beauty entrepreneur, Kate McLeod knows a thing or two about good ingredients. During her days in the kitchen, Kate suffered from dry skin, leading her to one day try cocoa butter as a last salve. The results were transformational. But cocoa butter is rock hard in its natural state, and Kate wondered if she could make it easier to apply without diluting its raw power as a solid. So was born her best-selling Body Stone. The Kate McLeod Body Stones are the first of its kind and soften on warm, dry skin. They glide on like silk melt and absorb, leaving skin soft, supple, and glowing. With only cocoa butter, sweet almond oil, apricot kernel oil, avocado oil, and fractionated coconut oil, it’s no wonder it’s become a cult favorite, being seen on Naomi Watt’s ITG Top Shelf and flying off the shelves at Sephora. In this episode, Kate and I talk about building a hero product and defining your niche, how she pivoted from baking to beauty, and what it took to build a beauty brand that caught Sephora’s eye.   Shop Kate McLeod here https://www.katemcleod.com. Use code FRIEND at checkout for 20% off your first purchase and start your self care ritual.    Love the show?

From Kylie’s car series to Taylor Swift’s grunge era, you heard it from Coco first. But her rise to popularity didn’t come overnight.

If you’re not in fashion, Fashion Month can seem a bit overwhelming. I often get asked - can I buy that look right now? When will that style be available? Or why didn’t that runway piece make it to stores? Well, there’s a big business behind runway shows - it fuels the fashion industry forward, sets trends for the seasons ahead, and allows fashion buyers to decide what makes it from the runway to our closets. So today we’re answering all of your questions with one of the best buyers in the industry, Tiffany Hsu, who’s the Vice President of Womenswear and Kidswear Buying at Mytheresa. (If you follow me on IG, you know Mytheresa is my ultimate retailer of choice - there’s just no better buy if you’re looking for the best pieces in fashion!). As a buyer, she’s tasked with traveling the world and looking at every designer’s collection, understanding the Mytheresa customer intimately, and knowing exactly what styles and how much of them to buy so that retailers and designers make a profit when it hits the stores six months later. She’s basically a fashion psychic. However, buying is a big numbers game, so for all my listeners looking for a numbers based job in fashion, listen up! In this episode, Tiffany and I talk about what goes on behind the scenes during fashion week, how she's learned what her clients want, and the trends she’s loving right now.   Follow Tiffany here https://www.instagram.com/handinfire/   Shop Mytheresa here www.mytheresa.com    Sponsors Steve Madden: The brand you love is now introducing Steve Madden apparel! #SMfall22 to share your going out looks!

I often talk about the necessity for community. No matter what you do, where you work, finding your people and keeping them close is one of the most important lessons I’ve learned as someone in the fashion industry. One of my people is Danielle Prescod. She instantly became someone who felt like a security blanket for me - at a work event where maybe I didn’t know anyone, fashion weeks, whatever it was, if she was there, all was good in my world. Danielle is a 15-year fashion industry veteran - she’s worked at InStyle, Elle, BET, and is someone I often turn to for her razor-sharp and unapologetic perspective of the industry. But last year, she said goodbye to the fashion industry and moved to New Orleans where she penned her first book, Token Black Girl, a memoir about her experiences growing up Black in a predominately white neighborhood, and the experiences that followed her into her teen years, college years, and into the halls of some of the most well known magazines in the world. It’s a harsh look into the white supremacy in media and her personal story of recovering from years of striving for perfection, a loss of identity, and living in a world where she never truly felt accepted. In today’s episode, we talk about the moments that led Danielle to write Token Black Girl, how she turned her experiences into output, and how the fashion industry needs to do better.   Follow Danielle here https://www.instagram.com/danielleprescod/   Pre-order Token Black Girl here    Produced by Dear Media   This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw a Pantene ad. The silky, luscious, and thick hair on the models couldn’t be more different from my own hair, but instantly became an ideal of what society considered beautiful. It carried me through the many emotional stages of my hair - extensions, the post breakup chop, multiple colors (who can relate?) - all to achieve that bounce that could be seen from a mile away. But as a now 28-year-old, I've figured out the most essential truth when it comes to hair - less is more. Diana Cohen’s Crown Affair is leading that message, disrupting the haircare industry that has notoriously sold chemical-based products and damaging styles with simple products, clean ingredients, and routines and rituals that nourish your hair from within. The Crown Affair Hair Oil has landed on every best-seller list, even catching the eye of the brand's newest investor Gwyneth Paltrow, and the brand is a bestseller at Goop and Sephora. In this episode, Diana shares her experience navigating the haircare industry, her own routines, and how she’s built a community around self-care.    Shop Crown Affair here https://www.crownaffair.com   Support the show by supporting our sponsors!

It’s rare to find someone whose style is truly unique. Emili Sindlev is one of those people. Just one look at her Instagram and you’ll find that her style is unmatched - it’s a blend of metropolitan chic, Scandi cool, with an enormous burst of color. She pairs bright colors you’d never guess would match and prints your mom would have shamed you for ever even thinking they’re go well together. But she pulls it off not just for herself, but for the global fashion community, with a style that’s titled her one of Denmark’s most popular fashion influencers. Based in Copenhagen, Emili shot onto the scene during Copenhagen Fashion Week, quickly becoming a street style trailblazer for defying the usual naturals of Scandi style.  Today she has close to 1 million followers, she was awarded Elle’s style icon of the year award in 2018, and can be often seen globetrotting and working with brands from Valentino to Chanel. In this episode, Emili gives us her best dressing advice which actually includes referencing vegetables, who knew? We also talk about growing a platform as a content creator, how she curates her feed, and what it’s like becoming a global content creator from Denmark.    Love the show?

They say that people watching is the best in New York City, and Johnny Cirillo is living proof of it. As the photographer behind Instagram’s beloved @WatchingNewYork account, Johnny heads out every day onto the streets of New York to shoot the most interesting and stylish personalities he can find. He stealthily documents their outfits, strikes up a conversation, and shares the stories of every day people to his 1 million followers on Instagram and TikTok. But when Johnny took his first photo for the account in 2016, he had no idea that six years later he’d run one of the most popular street style accounts and shoot for brands like Tory Burch and Balenciaga. Johnny and I talk about his introduction into photography, the most interesting people he’s ever met, and his best advice on turning your art into a thriving community.    Follow Watching New York here https://www.instagram.com/watchingnewyork     Love the show?

Did you know that less than 14% of sports journalists are female? Or that less than 4% of sports coverage is on female athletes? In 2019, three college friends — Jacie deHoop, Ellen Hyslop and Roslyn McLarty — founded The GIST after noticing that there wasn’t a hub for female sports lovers to come together in the male-dominated sports industry. The result - a newsletter that provides a fresh and fun perspective on sports delivered straight to your inbox. Today, they have over 700,000 subscribers who loyally read their 4x-weekly sports news newsletter, 3x-weekly women's sports biz newsletter, and listen to their podcast The GIST of It. In this episode, Ellen and I talk about the newsletter boom and its impact, her best hack for getting new subscribers, and the lack of visibility for women in sports and where we need progress.    Love the show?

In honor of NYFW in full swing, we’re bringing back one of our most beloved episodes with the one and only Christopher John Rogers. This episode was recorded in September 2019.    If you Google the name Christopher John Rogers, a slew of articles will come up with all the same title: "Meet Christopher John Rogers, Fashion's Next Big Thing." At just 25-years-old, Christopher is one of the youngest break-out designers on the fashion scene. Although he made his Fashion Week debut just a month ago, Christopher has garnered industry-wide acclaim through his unapologetically joyful and colorful designs. His collection was met with a standing ovation and rave reviews from Vogue, WWD, and more. He was a 2019 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist, and his clothes have been worn by Michelle Obama, Rihanna, SZA, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Cardi B. In this episode, Christopher and I talk about creating glamour in a not-so-glamorous world, representation in the fashion industry, and how a Baton Rogue-born designer plans to make it big in the Big Apple.

When Lara Adekoya started baking during lockdown last year, she had no idea she would quickly become the cookie queen of Los Angeles. The 28-year-old baker is the founder of Fleurs et Sel, a baked goods company that releases locally in small batches, and sells out in under five minutes. After being laid off from her job as a top salesperson at Nordstrom, Lara began baking cookies and delivering them to her friends and clients around town. What was initially a fun way to spread love during tough times quickly drew lines of fans to her at-home bakery. The demand for Fleur et Sels has catapulted her to culinary success - she’s hosted pop ups at The Palisades Village and The Grove, which the legendary Mindy Weiss (who happens to be one of her old clients!) helped produce and promote, provides cookies for Netflix sets, was just featured on Good Morning America, and is only just beginning. In this episode, Lara gives us the key takeaways from her entrepreneurial journey, from maintaining relationships to customer service lessons, and how she turned her passion into a thriving business.    With flavors like oatmeal raisin to sea salt chocolate, do yourself a favor and set notifications on for her Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/fleursetsel/   Cookie drops are also available on their website! https://www.fleursetsel.com   Love the show?

If you’ve ever heard of The Pattern, the most common words you’ll hear alongside it are "scarily accurate,” or you’ve seen the video of Channing Tatum freaking out after trying it saying, “Who runs this thing?! How do you know me so well?! Someone please contact me ASAP.” Well the person to reach out to is their founder,  Lisa Donovan. For those of you who are unfamiliar to the app, it’s a social app that creates accurate and detailed insights into your personality, empowering you to better understand yourself and build deeper, more authentic relationships with those around you. Prior to The Pattern, Lisa co-founded and ran the first and most viewed YouTube content company of its time, Maker Studios.

Carly Stein is the founder of Beekeeper’s Naturals, a company on a mission to reinvent your medicine cabinet with natural remedies from bees.

If you’ve been on social media in the past year, chances are you’ve been sent a Jordan Firstman skit. From banana bread’s publicist, to the guy who thinks life isn’t that much different in quarantine, to the management team behind the fly that infamously tormented Mike Pence, Jordan’s skits made our cringiest clichés into something we could all laugh at together (and single-handedly got us through quarantine). But behind the Instagram fame, Jordan’s a triple threat. He’s an actor, writer, and producer who’s worked on shows like Search Party and Big Mouth. He’s also written and starred in his own short called Call Your Father. When it comes to Hollywood, Jordan’s just getting started. In this episode, Jordan talks to us about the road to becoming a multi-hyphenate in entertainment, the cost that comes with viral fame, and how he’s ready for a second act that takes him off our phone screens and onto the silver screen.     Follow Jordan on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/jtfirstman/   Love the show?

She’s modeled in campaigns for Yeezy, Fenty, and Gucci. But at just 15-years-old, it was her cover of Drake’s Marvin’s Room that went viral and skyrocketed her music career. In 2019, she landed a record deal with Field Trip Records, a label founded by Zack Bia and James Canton in Los Angeles, where she released her hit debut songs “Ghosts” and “Strangers,” two songs that spoke candidly about her experiences with substance abuse, rehab, and loneliness.

In this episode, Mallory and I talk about what it was like growing up in New York, from her experience as a young fencer to modeling for Rihanna.

Hilary Sheinbaum is a writer who’s contributed to publications like The New York Times, Marie Claire, New York Magazine, Forbes, and more. This week, she released her first book, The Dry Challenge: How to Loose The Booze for Dry January, Sober October, and Any Other Alcohol-Free Month, an exploration of the incredible life-changing benefits of abstaining from alcohol for one month. In 2017, Hilary and a friend waged a bet: whoever could complete Dry January would win a free dinner to any restaurant of their choice in New York City. Hilary won, and not only did she feel completely different, but she was instantly inspired to spread the word about her experience. The book, which acts more like a guidebook, provides a comprehensive plan to help you tackle Dry January, Sober October, and other booze-free challenges. Whether you’re thinking of participating in Dry January, Sober October, or want to choose a time of your own, this book walks you step-by-step through one drink-free month, from making a plan to sharing the news with friends and family (and what to do when someone tries to sabotage it) to getting back on track if you slip up and have a drink (or two). In this episode, Hilary tells us about the physical, emotional, and financial impacts of taking a month off of alcohol, what we can expect from her first book, and how this year’s Dry January will be different than any before.   Check out The Dry Challenge: How to Loose The Booze for Dry January, Sober October, and Any Other Alcohol-Free Month here. https://www.amazon.com/Dry-Challenge-January-October-Alcohol-Free/dp/0062937707   Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Amanda Litman is the co-founder and executive director of Run for Something, an organization that supports and provides tools necessary for young, progressive Americans to launch local campaigns of their own. Since its founding in 2017, Run for Something has recruited 60,000 people to run for local office across the country, endorsed nearly 1,000 candidates, and has seen the successful election of 304 of these, 54% of whom are women, 47% people of color, and 18% LGBTQ.

What do actress Sarah Ramos (Parenthood, The Affair) and writer/comedian Caroline Goldfarb (The Late Late Show with James Corden, Alone Together) have in common? They’re hysterical, devoted pop culture enthusiasts, best friends, and recently launched a podcast series called THE RENNER FILES. THE RENNER FILES, created, hosted and produced by the duo, is a new kind of true crime podcast - one that’s not a true crime at all. Instead, it’s about Jeremy Renner’s app. Why did Oscar nominated actor Jeremy Renner ever have an app? Why did he do it? Who made it?  Who used it? And why did it shake the internet to its core? They set out to investigate the mystery of the app, but got so much more in return. THE RENNER FILES lays out a thrilling timeline of the app’s rise and fall through talking head interviews with key players, journalists, and unexpected Renner experts (like actor Seth Rogen). But it also tells a larger story: one about the dangerous side of celebrity fandom, the ethics of audience exploitation, the celebrity influencer complex, and the destructive power of ironic internet comedy.  In this episode, we talked about their fan-filled childhoods, from Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen cruises to NSYNC concerts, to navigating the entertainment industry, and a behind the scenes look at what went into creating one of the mosts provocative podcasts out there right now. Starting September 24th, an episode of THE RENNER FILES will be released weekly on Thursdays for six weeks.

Sheena Yaitanes is the founder of Kosas, a clean beauty brand she created in her Los Angeles home in 2015. While studying chemistry and biology at UC Irvine, Sheena found herself frustrated with a beauty industry filled with products that never felt good, healthy, or looked right on her skin. Fusing her scientific background and passion for painting, Sheena set out to create a one-of-a-kind lipstick with a strong focus on clean, non-toxic formula and shades that redefine the idea of nude for all skin tones. The brand launched with four lipstick shades, and every item had to achieve three things: look just right, be easy and straightforward in application, and act as skincare. Today, Kosas has expanded its product line to 12 lipstick shades, lip glosses, balms, makeup cases, and their cult-favorite products, the 10 Second Eyeshadow and Tinted Face Oil. Kosas is sold on Sephora, Goop, and Violet Grey, has a fan base of names like Gwyneth Paltrow and Gisele, and just closed a Series B funding round with investors like Leandra Medine and Scooter Braun.
