Love this!!! Had read abt Janelle Abbott’s clothing a while back & seeing the styling w/hair it’s all so effective and beautiful, ty for sharing!! Also while I love how all the thin sole shoes look, I love being able to walk when I wake up more so heel drop it is for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is great reporting, and feels like the last bastion of honest (read: non-sponsored) fashion reviews- I feel like you kind of have to be a “nobody” in the scene to get the accurate view unspoiled by people pulling out all the stops to impress you.

Also, I second the delight that Mandy Lee is a real one IRL— she took the time to respond to me and recommend cobblers and tailors when I cold messaged her and that stuck with me.

"Oh, and essentially everything was upcycled (walking the walk much more gracefully than other purportedly “sustainable” brands that have leaned on the extremely non-sustainable technology of AI in past years…)" C*llina Str*da catchin strays!!
