On today’s episode of Raw and Real NYC, Sam and Meghan talk with Eloise Moran, a Los Angeles-based, British writer who created the @ladydirevengelooks account on Instagram. She is also the Copy and Content strategy lead at Parade and is soon to be an author of her very first book! We discuss a wide range of topics, from how she found herself, to the negative connotation that the word “revenge” has and how we can view it differently.

Hi everyone! Today’s podcast is a solo with myself Meghan Casey Loftus and my boyfriend, Malcolm Montilus. This episode is very close to my heart. You all are listening in on a conversation between Mal and I on finding your confidence, a self love journey, personal style, top menswear street style brands and more. Malcolm Montilus attended NYU to study sports management and to run track and play soccer. He’s currently working for MSG in marketing strategy for the NY rangers. Malcolm is one of the most confident people I know and he attributes a portion of that to his personal style. He is very in tune with bringing out confidence in others and encouraging me to express myself through my clothes. Our conversation exposes the parallels between the sports and fashion industries and dives into the evolution of his style and every changing love of fashion. I hope you enjoy!
