Where were you back when being an adult became “adulting”? How many times have you proclaimed that “you’re just a girl” in the face of inconvenient responsibility? And are you often called back to the incoherent sitcom advice of Carrie and Miranda or Abbi and Ilana? In the mid-2010s, television peaked for twenty-something comedies that gave levity and brilliance to the messiness of this era in life. Broad City , Girls, and the oh-so-rewatched SATC  taught us that friendship could survive (and...

I dare you to try and invent a new kind of “girl” aesthetic that no one else has thought of.

Yes, fellow haters of the heat, the fall season is upon us, also known as the best season for fashion.

Sometimes it’s nice to cozy up and escape to another world for a little while.

Throughout the late 80s and early 90s, Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman was published by DC Comics. Since their release, The Sandman has captured the hearts and minds of dreamers everywhere, and in August of 2022, Netflix released season one of the comics’ TV show adaptation. Similar to many others who watched the series, I became obsessed quickly after watching.
