Cottage Cash
“Oh, I could wear that in the mountains,” I mutter to myself as I add an overly dramatic, minty, puff-sleeved top to my cart. “Ah, yes. The frolic will be mine.”

Shine for Shein
We have all seen the Shein ads. The ones that pop up on Instagram, Facebook and Tiktok. The ones that somehow show items you searched for on other sites or have spoken to your friends about.

Starry Sparkles
I'll admit it, I'm one of those people who falls prey to targeted Facebook ads far too often. Having disposable income and a collector's brain will do that to you. I can't complain, though; many of those impulse purchases have led to discovering favorite shopping sites, like Tee Turtle, one of my favorite places to get adorable (and sometimes adorably offensive) tees. My hands down favorite is the Murder of Crows shirt; yes, it's dad-joke worthy, but it makes me laugh every time.

Instagram Ads Are Taking Over My Life; and Wardrobe.
What do the retired gentlemen in my Floridian neighbourhood and I, a 24 year old Irish Jane Doe have in common? Our wardrobes. (Also back pain, but let's not get into that). Leaving home each morning, I’m dressed and ready to attend any number of events at the drop of a vintage baseball hat; spontaneous barbecue, boat trip (thank you Crocs), Hawaiian vacation photoshoot, you get the idea. There is nothing I like more in my wardrobe than a good shirt; color, pattern, material, shape. Instagram knows this, and douses my feed with ads for an endless variety of colourful shirts as generously as the guy adding oil to salad in that meme.

I Feel Rich: A Curateur Subscription Review
Rachel Zoe is my stylist. No, really! I’m not wealthy or famous and I don’t live in L.A., but every three months I get a box of personally picked items from Curateur (formerly Box of Style), Rachel Zoe’s personal curation service for subscribers.

Cheap Clothes? Yes, please
Shopping on a budget? Oh, have I got the place for you. Shein has been my all-time, favorite place to online shop. A friend reccommended this website to me and ever since then, I haven't stopped shopping.

The Perfect Swimsuit
I have a problem. I love swimsuits but can never seem to find ones that fit me ‘just right’. I go through swim suits so quickly. I try to swim at least 3 times a week but the chlorine from the pool makes them fade. On nice weekends, we take the boat out and I swim in the lake. Although there are not chemicals, the suits still stretch out from use.

Amazon Is My Bae
As we all know, Shopping is a mildly therapeutic way to manage stress. It is also a good way to keep up with the latest trends or to stock up on daily essentials. With the weekly sales, seasonal blow outs, videos, books, and more. Whatever the need, Amazon.com will always be there for us.

Millennials: This is Who We Are
The Rise of The Social Media Mind Social Media ads are stalking us 24/7. Most of us are aware of it, but sometimes we just can’t stop ourselves. I know I click on those ads constantly. In fact, it’s incredibly distracting. I will pick up my phone to do something, open Facebook by muscle memory and habit alone, and start scrolling before I even realize that I am not doing what I intended to be doing. Within seconds, I’m seeing an ad that entices me and boop, I click on it. Sometimes I’m too impulsive and the next thing I know I’m putting in my credit card information. Boop - that easy. Social media has changed the way we shop, the way we interact, the way we spend our free time, even the way we think. And they know what we are thinking.

Social Media for Social Justice
Try this on for size: Social media, no longer just a hub for bikini pictures, mirror selfies, and stalking your exes, but a grand stage for social reform and change at the forefront of the fight for justice. In an altogether miraculous evolution, social media has become the younger generations’ battle ground, platform, and voice.

The key pieces you need for the ultimate self-revival post lockdown
If you, like me, have just absolutely let go and stopped caring about what you wear and how you look...just know you're not the only one. I mean, most people would say that not caring anymore is a good thing. That it's liberating. Well, sometimes it's not.

Clothes For The Plus Size Girl
As someone who is plus size and prefers feminine clothing, it is hard to find cute things, at a decent price, and that fit well. You almost never get all three.
