Dinner for Shoes

In Dinner for Shoes podcast episode 63, host Sarah Wasilak chats with ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 8 cast member Vanessa Boreland about her experience filming the popular Netflix show. Of course, their conversation touches on fashion — from what Vanessa packed versus her typical date-night style to her opinion on first-reveal outfits and wedding dress shopping on reality TV. Vanessa answers all your burning questions about ‘LIB,’ sharing insight into production, the food everyone’s eating in the pods, and what really goes on behind the scenes.

Sarah offers her own take on the series, tapping into this season in particular, and reveals which cast member she thinks she vibes with from a style perspective. She goes on to try chicken and vegetable samosas as an ode to Vanessa’s favorite Indian restaurant called Darbar in Minneapolis.

Whether you’re in need of outfit advice or in the midst of a style dilemma, the Shoe Therapy hotline is open for your anonymous texts and voicemails. Message 917-336-2057 with fashion questions and funny stories so I can “heel” ya — you just may hear your message on the podcast.

Dinner for Shoes is a fashion podcast for people who love food, hosted by editor Sarah Wasilak. With appearances by her cats, Trish and Kit, and agendas that almost always go to shit, we aim to dive into a discussion about fashion and style and break some bread in each episode. 

Dinner for Shoes podcast episodes are released weekly on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple. You can follow along for updates, teasers, and more on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. If there are any fashion topics you’ve been pondering or good eats you think Sarah should try, don’t hesitate to send a DM or an email.
