From a pink runway show at Maison Valentino to a pop culture film phenomenon about our favorite pink icon, ‘barbie core’ …
If you were in high school anytime in the 1990’s you can surely recall the long denim skirt trend that makes you cringe a little when you take that stroll down memory lane. Depending on how “cool” you were you probably styled yours with platform flip flops, a baby doll T, and some sort of …

Ahh fall. The season where the warm weather turns cool, the daylight fades, and the internet becomes abuzz with proclamations of sweater weather!
