I’ve never really been able to just throw something on. Even when I say I did, I didn’t. I’ve always paid attention to how something sits, how it moves, and what it communicates before I ever say a word. Some people journal. I get dressed.

I studied politics because I’ve always been curious about how power works: who has it, how it shifts, how it changes the way a room feels without announcing itself. Somewhere along the way, I realized fashion and music do the same thing. They shape the atmosphere. They influence perception. They speak before we do.

Now I work in luxury retail, surrounded by pieces that feel like art. I think a lot about construction, proportion, and mood: why certain silhouettes stick in your mind, why certain songs stay with you longer than they should. I’ve come to believe that what looks effortless rarely is. Most of it is engineered slowly, intentionally, over time.

Fashion isn’t an afterthought to me. It’s how you show up in the world. It’s something you build, refine, and grow into. It’s something no one can take from you.

This space is where I unpack all of that. Through fashion, while Kira approaches it through music. We meet somewhere in the overlap. It’s not about trends. It’s about paying attention. And figuring out what feels like you.

Because once you start noticing, you can’t really unsee it.

This past summer, my friend Lauren and I realized we were both mourning something we couldn’t quite name. It wasn’t just university ending, or adulthood beginning. It was the slow disappearance of the younger versions of ourselves. The ones who had time to care deeply, obsess freely, and turn a bedroom into an entire universe.

Before deadlines, heartbreak, and hangovers, there were songs we played until they became part of us. Outfits we built with whole stories behind them. Back then, taste wasn’t a brand. It was instinct.

Around the same time, I fell into a Nina Simone obsession. Her voice, her elegance, her force. I was awestruck. Then I heard My Baby Just Cares for Me, and suddenly, there it was.

My baby don’t care for shows.
My baby don’t care for clothes.

But the thing is, we do.

We care about shows. We care about clothes. We care about the things that connect us to who we were, who we are, and who we'll be.

So, baby don’t care became a love letter to taste, obsession, music, fashion, feeling, and all the things that seem to get quieter the older you get.

Because maybe growing up doesn’t have to mean growing away from your childhood.

Maybe it just means finding your way back to it in a way that fits.

baby, we care

stay in the know!
