The Weekly Edit

instagram goes to court, nyfw street style, chloe malle’s first vogue issue, the rise of the c02 laser, the sunglasses girls in la are wearing, a soulcyle comeback, your uniqueness and so much more!

Hiii how are we doing? I was in LA this week, mostly sitting beneath fluorescent lighting in a tall glass building working all day. Followed by sitting in another tall glass building under equally as aggressive fluorescent but this time, at the derm. I did my annual full-body skin check and figured while I’m there (read planned this for months!), I may as well knock out a couple of of lasers opting for CO2 under my eyes and one all over for resurfacing/melasma/blah blah blah. I’ve yet to do botox or filler so am hopeful for some nice results with my fine lines. Time will tell!
