Introducing Issue No. 13

Issue No. 13 is finally here and just as with every issue, this one might be our favorite yet.

For fall we’re focusing on all that lies beneath us, the beauty in the unexpected, vulnerability as the key to life, choosing the hardest (yet best) paths, being fearless in relationships and empowering others around you. It’s about embracing the fact that this life is a big question mark, but that it’s worth the fight; living authentically is always in style and the hard questions are definitely the ones to ask.

Inside The Beautician | A feature interview with actress Tracee Ellis Ross on what it means to be confident and how that entails exuding both inner and outer beauty. 

Beauty, there’s also something about an exchange there. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; it’s what you see, it’s how you experience someone, because beauty, again, is not about perfection. It’s about a sharing of the soul. It’s about a joy in the soul that comes through.

Inside The Intellectual | A discussion around not just the importance of empowering women, but what it looks like to empower men, as well.

Our self-esteem often comes from an unrealistic, unattainable, impossible standard of ‘beauty.’ This ‘self-worth epidemic’ is a human issue, not a sex issue.

Inside The Stylist | A look at the realities of the fashion industry and what steps need to be made for all sizes to feel like they have equal representation, respect and options in the fashion space. 

I have witnessed the rise of plus-size fashion bloggers in the blogosphere and their influence in the fashion space. I have seen how their authority has challenged the norm in our society, and shaped the body image conversation into one of positive change and acceptance.

Inside The Confidant | An interview with acclaimed writer and speaker Brené Brown, discussing her upcoming book Rising Strong and how being broken is actually being brave. 

If you’re brave enough often enough, you’re going to fall. I knew it would be very important to find out what the people who get back on their feet and who have even more courage and conviction and compassion have in common.

Inside The Hostess | Three original recipes comprised of fall season root vegetables curated by Julie Lee of Julie’s Kitchen.

And in the kitchen, exotic spices begin to waft through the air, and the heat of the oven warms the room. All these are sure signs that fall is here. I find there’s no better way to celebrate the season than with food (and friends), so I’m sharing three of my favorite unfussy fall recipes that are perfect for entertaining.
