As I’ve gotten older, one of the best revelations I’ve had about fashion and personal style is that getting dressed doesn’t have to be entwined with your perception of your body, which is especially freeing if those thoughts sometimes take you to an unhappy place.

My Five Ridiculous Minutes With Khloe Kardashian
I received the email at 12:32am during a bout of insomnia on May 8. I was in the regular practice of falling asleep with our 4-year-old around 8pm, then finding myself wide awake around midnight but too brain-tired to do anything productive.

What If Chicken Soup Were an Outfit?
Frida has been sick since Friday. I don’t think she’s ever had a cold for this long—she usually gets better remarkably fast.
