So, apparently, the world’s decided we’re only allowed, like, three silhouettes now if we want to survive a Tuesday. I keep seeing stylists—Rebekah Roy’s one, she’s all over these lists—acting like there’s some secret handshake for “easy” cuts that don’t look like you just rolled out of a laundry basket. Here’s her take, if you […]

So, I tried to score a deal on sneakers last month, and my friend dumped this spreadsheet on me—six sites, a billion codes, “VIP” this, “exclusive” that. My brain basically short-circuited. But here’s the thing: premium outlets are low-key the champs for cashback on designer shoes, even when everyone’s hyping some “exclusive” drop or blasting […]

I mean, do people seriously think dropping $900 on a giant logo means anything? I’ve watched that stitching unravel before the leaves change, and honestly, it’s kind of hilarious. Meanwhile, the folks who really know what’s up—editors, tailors, those cryptic buyers at sample sales—are all quietly texting each other about brands you’ve never seen on […]

So, picture me, stuck in a checkout spiral at 1 a.m., convinced I’ve got a working code stashed somewhere, only for the site to snark back: “Not valid for denim jackets.” Or, for some reason, reusable water bottles. Seriously? Why do retailers always yank digital discounts the second my grocery bill turns into a horror […]

So, someone on my timeline lost out on another half-off wireless headphones deal—five minutes, cart glitched, poof, gone. Is that just how it goes now? Retailers are freaking out because flash sales have gotten so cutthroat that cities (and, weirdly, some stores themselves) are looking at just banning these lightning deals to stop the madness. […]

Alright, so, let’s get this out of the way: I click “buy now,” wait for my new blazer, try it on, and—yep, total potato sack. So now I’m out ten bucks just to send it back? Since when did “free returns” mean “secret fee” or “you better have the original sticker, or else”? I swear, […]

So, I’m just trying to buy some shoes—maybe a serum I don’t need—and the cart looks fine, until, surprise, suddenly it’s $18 more than it was five seconds ago. What even is a “service fee”? “Handling”? Insurance for what, exactly? Shopify’s got this statistic saying more than 1 in 5 people just ditch their carts […]

Okay, so—lately, every grocery run feels like wandering through a minimalist art exhibit. Did all the holographic cereal boxes get banned overnight? I swear, last year it was neon unicorns everywhere. Now it’s like, “Here’s your beans. They’re in a beige bag. Deal with it.” And apparently, it’s not just my neighborhood store being weird. […]

Okay, so, blink and suddenly that bag you’ve been eyeing costs more than your entire month’s rent. I swear, the way these luxury price jumps just zap crowds from boutiques—it’s wild. Like, 80% of growth? Poof, gone. Even the big names—Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Chanel—can’t hit their revenue goals this year. (Yeah, I checked the Bain […]

I don’t know about you, but every time I crack open my grocery app lately, it’s like—where the heck did my surprise coffee voucher go? Used to be, I’d stumble on random discounts or “mystery” perks, and now? Nothing. Did brands just decide overnight to ghost us on loyalty perks? I mean, yeah, they’re “recalibrating” […]
