In today's episode, I'll talk about my struggle with burnout after working 6-7 days a week for 5 years, in my vintage shop. The ...

Just imagine you're a vendor at a market selling vintage clothing.
To get to this market you had to hunt for the inventory, buy supplies and possibly even travel to be a vendor.
Now imagine a celebrity in the music and fashion world comes to this market to find "inspiration" for their next collection.
This would be a very exciting thing for any seller to have a celebrity with fashion influen...

IS FASHION ART?
What's your immediate response and why?
In today's episode, I'll be discussing the two sides of whether fashion is art or just a way to make money.

What's something that everyone who starts a business has in common?

I'm BACK from an unexpected hiatus!
Let me just preface this episode with a HUGE apology!

This week's episode is all about THRIFTING and RESELLING!
Is it ethical? Do resellers of popular platforms like Depop take garments away from low-income families? What's the alternative?
I recently read an article in Buzzfeed News about the backlash a Depop seller is facing on TikTok after posting a thrifting haul for her Depop shop. There have been some very divided and heated opinions!
