Spill the Tea: Favorite Blogs to Read

When I was an editor at FashionUnited, I used to write over 60 articles a month surrounding fashion news including trends, shows, and all things on the business side of fashion. Now that I’m able to branch out onto my own blog, I realized that writing those articles really forced me to be ‘in-the-know’ with all things fashion and to know every single update as soon as it happened (thank you, WWD).

Now, I’m not as attuned with everything as it happens but I did want to introduce this new series to my blog where I share with you some highlights each month and some really good reads. Like why is Kanye selling a crew neck for $225? What are the most sustainable brands you can shop for? (thank you #EarthDay). And is wellness a fashion trend?

While I won’t bore you with my take on every single one of these, I will leave you with my round-up of favorite blogs I’ve read this month. These are some pieces that are just interesting to read (and okay, one shameless plug), from someone who truly enjoys reading about fashion and not taking it so seriously all the time. If you have some downtime this week, check these out:
