This is quite possibly my favorite piece I’ve ever read from you. (I’d say 10/10 SHOULD recommend subscribing for this 10/10 quality)… thank you for talking us on this journey with you. The photos, the prose, the reminder that shopping can and should be about inspiration and not necessarily acquiring things. I now know where I’m going next weekend, it has been TOO long since I touched the racks at James Veloria

Amazing piece, Mac! I loved this:

“creativity is a muscle that requires heavy lifting to grow stronger.”

YES. It’s a daily effort and “use it or lose it,” like any pursuit. Just as we are always changing, we need to seek out inspiration in the real world to keep connecting and growing.💕

Show us the dress!
