Tara Maria González is a writer for InStyle.com and native New Yorker who found herself on a not-so-conventional path that still landed her her dream job in her dream city. We dive into what a day in the life of a fashion writer for a major publication actually looks like, especially during fashion week. We also go into how she landed her first writing job after spending years working on getting into a science field, proving that it's never too late to just ditch your whole plan and start over!

Consider this your ultimate debrief on New York Fashion Week FW22. We take a look at what trends we continue to see pop up over and over again, some new themes that you'll want to pay attention to, and of course, we dive deep into our favorite shows and let you know what everyone will be obsessed with in a few months (and what we're leaving on the runway). Are we looking at the return of the studded belt, skirts over dresses, AND over the knee boots all in the same season?

We cover big names like Michael Kors (yeah, he's worth talking about again) & Coach (did they deliver again after SS22?) and follow up on some of our favorites like Collina Strada & LaQuan Smith with everything in between. Plus...

What pant silhouette have we officially taken a stance on hating? & Our thoughts on our first Verve Winter™

This week we welcome Alice Bell, fashion writer turned astrologer! Alice tells us about how she went from being a starry eyed writer fresh out of Central St. Martin’s in London to astrologer/business owner who now writes for British Vogue. We chit chat about how she uses the stars for predictive astrology- ie, when you might get a boyfriend since she totally nailed that prediction for herself.

We also get into where astrology and fashion intersect, like what placements you should take a peek at to gain more insight into your personal style and spending habits, and she was even able to let us know why exactly we're so intense about our love of all things fashion. You're probably going to want to have your own birth chart handy for this one

Tanya Ravichandran (@ttaanyaa on TikTok) is a Bay Area fashion content creator, photographer, model, and student who’s created a community more than 1.1M strong on TikTok, sharing videos on sustainable fashion and finding your personal style.

We chat about Tanya’s early start in the industry, working as a photographer with major brands like Brandy Melville & PacSun at the age of 14. Tanya’s background in photography clearly shows through her captivating content which she’s used to propel herself into social media stardom, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Her tech background also fueled conversation about the future of the fashion industry and she’s hoping to be on the forefront with a special project she has in the works (hint it involves thrifting!)

She cares deeply about using her platform to showcase showing up as her authentic self regardless of the environment- from the tech corporate world to small town USA to the limitless world of the internet. We hope this conversation inspires you to show up a little more authentically this week and chase after your wildest dreams.

Welcome back listeners to this week's episode! SS22 Couture Week had some high highs (Schiaparelli *swoon*) and some low lows (Chanel, what's happening?), and made us believe in a designer's ability to adapt and give us a collection worth talking about for years to come (Glenn Marten, we're looking at you).

We also break down what Rhianna wore in her BABY ANNOUNCEMENT. Who saw this coming?

And AG and Katie continue to ruminate on the intersection of weather and wardrobe. Did we learn anything from the insufferable summer heat that can be adapted to this seemingly endless winter? Is there something to be said for making purchases when we're feeling low (that is, if we can even find something worth buying). If you've been feeling a little down in the dumps figuring out how to keep things fresh when it's frigid, you'll want to listen to this one. Don't miss it!

Last week we hosted Arabella Bartelloni (aka @lilrotini), so this week we have another mini episode to bring you! This week we have a quick chat about how to adapt your wardrobe to inevitable body changes that happen in your 20s (second puberty, anyone?). We give you some tips on making your purchases work for whatever comes your way, and of course, outfits! We showcase some outfits that deserved more love than they got on the ever fickle fashiontok, and what would January be without seasonal depression fits? Don't miss it!

Arabella Bartelloni (aka @lilrotini) is a New Jersey based full time fashion content creator and stylist. With 961k followers on tiktok, she’s set to surpass 1 million followers soon (like, very soon). We chat about where she thinks the fashion community could be headed on TikTok and what it feels like to have so many eyes on you. We also make sure to discuss what she looks for while thrifting for both herself and her styling business, and what kinds of questions she walks herself through before making a purchase. Plus, we find out her mysterious Big 3 👀

This episode has multiple layers (much like Arabella's signature style) so you won't want to miss it!

With so many (amazing!) guests already lined up for 2022, we didn't want your favorite source of fashion news and outfit inspiration to disappear! So we've shortened the length but kept all the great content to give you a bonus episode this week!

The iconic André Leon Talley has passed away at age 73. He was a pioneer in the fashion industry, a "pharaoh of fabulosity", and his absence will be felt in the industry as we move into yet another fashion month in the coming weeks. 

Prada kicked off their FW22 season with a star studded menswear show featuring Jeff Goldblum and Kyle MacLachlan. With the world (still) in such a tumultuous place, are we looking to brands to ground us or give us a way of escaping reality through clothing?

And is New York state finally getting a sustainability law on the books? If passed there could be some real monetary consequences for major brands like Nike and LVMH group, but we think it's about time these responsibilities are being put on the shoulders of major corporations instead of the consumer. 

Plus, Anna Grace powers through with some fabulous outfits despite being sick and Katie tries out Rent the Runway. Don't miss it!

Macy Eleni, also known as Blazed & Glazed, is a LA based content creator best known for her thrifting hauls on TikTok & YouTube. With 369k followers and over 11 million likes on TikTok, clearly we’re not the only ones that can’t get enough of Macy’s infectious energy.

In this interview we talk about how Macy started her love affair with thrifting and shopping second hand, and where she finds some of her best pieces. She also goes deep into what it means to her to live a “positive lifestyle” and how choosing her mental health above everything else has helped her create a life she loves. Plus, we got a super exciting sneak peek into what NEW content she’s working on (hint she’s working with producers).

So sit back with those mandatory three beverages and enjoy this episode!
