Dinner for Shoes is a podcast hosted bySarah Wasilak, a fashion and food enthusiast with her mouth full. With appearances by her cats,Trish andKit, 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. 

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.

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.
