There was a cool Blackbird Spyplane interview with Danielle Haim, I think about from time to time, from 2021.

I loveeee this round up!!! Agree the devil wears Prada sneak peaks are too good to look away…. But also kinda takes the magic away! When I went to the eras tour I felt like I had already watched the whole show on TikTok/reels because of the same issue. It sucked but I couldn’t look away! ALSO I was steadily growing for the last year and have been TANKING lately… like lost 100 subs. I feel like something is UP.

I'm swooning over that yellow dress! That lace insert screams 1984-85 (my high school grad year) to me - every girl in my grad class wore one of those (but not me!).

Congrats on 900 subscribers, Emilee! That's amazing! I think I'm around 300, yup 318, just checked, which I'm good with (I turned off notifications about unsubs, I just don't wanna know), considering I've only been here for a year.

Your new brown sandals are awesome! Wear them with everything! Wear them to DEATH, until they are floppy and faded! I am not a huge Coach fan, but the simple shapes are appealing. I refuse to buy any purse that won't hold my phone, which eliminates a lot of early 00s bags!

Yeah, I agree, I don't want to see the clothes/outfits leaked in a movie that's fashion-forward! I want them to be a surprise, something we can dissect later.

hahahaha well that’s a way cooler dress than anyone would have ever thought to wear for my graduation in 2016 lol !!

and thank you sheila 💖 right after i complained on notes, it just skyrocketed. maybe that’s the ticket… but literally even just knowing there are hundreds of people tuned into anything i produce is pretty darn cool.

the shoes just came in today & im about to wear them around my apartment like crazy just to break em in lol. & im with you. it’s gotta fit my essentials !!

the devil wears prada? more like, the devil wants to know they are wearing prada…every. single. day. until this movie wraps

Emilee! I could read this post 1200 times because of all the goodness in it, please do more and more and more of these; it's like "quickspeed hot takes." Anyways, here are my quickspeed responses;

(1) watching subscribers leave is so devestating. I have hoovered at the EXACT same number for 2 weeks because I get one subscriber and lose 2 more. (2) the image of that woman in the perfect skirt and the dark sandals is *chefs kiss* (3) I am a Gap girlie. What can I say? Possen knows what he is doing over there. (4) we live in an interesting time trying to consume content before it's ready with the DWP2. Why are we doing this to ourselves?!

I'm sure there are more thoughts but that's it for now.

thank you kelly !!!! im so glad to hear that bc i was debating going through with a “rambling-style round-up.” maybe out of fear of not being “as polished” or letting my personality take over LOL

posen is king. he’s really doing it. it’s cool to have all 3 brands (old navy, gap, banana) be at differing price ranges to have that variety. sometimes you have to pay attention to the material at old navy but they really do have a good assortment of 100% cotton pieces at super affordable prices. just gotta look!!

and ugh im so annoyed every time I see a pap shot from the devil wears prada. ive already seen too much…plz stop. I will continue to look at them but im not happy about it lol

I completely agree about The Devil Wears Prada! I’m incredibly excited for the film, but seeing all the fashion in a way we couldn’t when the original first came out is sort of spoiling (I’m still looking tho😂)

I'm completely distracted by how ill-fitting Anne Hathaway's shoes are in the all white pic! There's room for an entire other foot in there 😆

LOL part of me likes the novelty of them but the other part of me thinks if I have a $1500 pair of shoes, i dont want people’s first reaction to be “those don’t fit her” 😖

This is a plus 1 for the Camper Size 8 conundrum. What’s the deal? I’m guessing you size up? Inquiring minds need to know!
