In Dinner for Shoes episode 28, Shaka Bowl + Sustainable Brands, podcast hostSarah Wasilak lists her favorite eco-friendly clothing brands, tries a Shaka Bowl and cauliflower wings fromShaka Kitchen in Hoboken, NJ, and chats with bothZoë Goetzmann, podcast host ofThe (Un)Ethical Consumer andTatiana Gomez, founder ofCeres Market. Throughout the episode, we acknowledge that sustainability looks different for everyone, but starting small is where it’s at. Meanwhile, Kit steals Sarah’s environmentally-friendly wooden fork and tries to destroy the set of Dinner for Shoes. However, the sustainability conversation perseveres, despite her sneaky tricks.

In Dinner for Shoes episode 26, Lauren Chan on Body Inclusive Fashion + Self Discovery, podcast hostSarah Wasilak is joined bySports Illustrated Swimsuit model, mental health advocate, andHenning CEOLauren Chan. Lauren recently used her Sports Illustrated feature to come out and open up a personal conversation about exploring her sexuality and defining her identity. Sarah and Lauren discuss breaking into the fashion industry, dressing for the male gaze vs. dressing for the female gaze, embracing a style evolution, and, of course, theHenning x Universal Standard collection, which comes at an accessible price point in sizes 4XS-4XL (00-40). Before heading into the conversation about plus size fashion and representation, Sarah tests out a universally beloved product that she’s never tried, Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter. Just like Lauren Chan, it kind of blows her mind.

Before learning about their unique journeys in each of their industries, Sarah samplesThe Hoboken Girl Breakfast Sandwich fromAlessio’s, which was launched specifically during Women’s History Month to benefitYork Street Project, a Jersey City non-profit that aims to provide shelter, food, and education to women, children, and families in need. The delicious concoction includes scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, caramelized onion, avocado, crispy hashbrowns, and jalapeño aioli — all ingredients that were hand-selected by the Hoboken Girl team-turned-taste-testers for this important mission.

In episode 23, Trans Glam GirlMadison Werner on Celebrity Style + Self Expression, Sarah talks to Madison, who is a writer, queer advocate, and content creator. Having met on social media, Sarah, who lives in NY, and Madison, who’s based in LA, have kept in touch and in contact about all things fashion, even playing a fun game of Sisterhood of the Traveling Crop Top. Sarah and Madison talk about the power of celebrity style and the brilliant ways in which we can embrace it and make it our own — particularly focusing on Kylie Jenner and Madison Beer. They also get into conversation about expressing identity through clothing, and the importance of staying true to yourself.

In episode 22, Detox Smoothie + Closet Clean-out, Sarah talks to celebrity stylist and wardrobe organizerCaitlin Jaymes about a plan of action for whittling down her closet before moving in with Boyfriend Nick. Sarah also introduces her guests to the new set of Dinner for Shoes while in the midst of the move, pinpointing objects in view that she transitioned into the new space (including Kit The Kitten, who makes her cameo at just the right time). While she hasn’t been a smoothie lover historically, Sarah tries out theDiet Starts Today fromAcai Ya Later in Hoboken, as it appears to be both a literal detox recipe and a figurative “Acai ya later” to her apartment in Jersey City.

In episode 21, Sober Shot + Runway Talk, Sarah talks her Dinner guests through the fall/winter 2024 fashion trends, as spotted on the runways at New York Fashion Week. She also gushes about some of her favorite designer looks she’s loving from these new collections, and shares some thoughts about the inclusivity and representation this season at the shows. Finally, Sarah details all the street style looks she wore to hit the scene, all of which Boyfriend Nick described hilariously in a game called “My Boyfriend Judged My Fashion Week Looks.” Sarah’s coffee indulgence, a Not Too Sober from Sober Shot in Jersey City, provides her with endless energy to make it through — and Kit gets to lick the cold foam top as a farewell treat.

In episode 20, Dream Vista Café + Valentine’s Day, Sarah is joined by fashion psychologistShakaila Forbes-Bell, author ofBig Dress Energy and founder ofFashion is Psychology, to chat about Valentine’s Day style. Shakaila explains the meaning behind traditional Valentine’s Day colors (i.e. shades of pink and red) and she analyzes outfits from years past, revealing what wearing specific silhouettes may present to the outside world. Sarah enjoys feta avocado toast and an almond croissant from Dream Vista Café in Jersey City, while discussing a virtual color analysis program calledColoured Confidence that producer Megan tested out. The results shed light on Megan’s most flattering power colors, and Sarah suggests gifting the service to yourself as an act of self-love.
