What does the word minimalist mean to you? White-washed, Instagram-bait interiors? Overpriced Scandinavian designers? Kinfolk magazine? IKEA flatpack furniture? You’re not alone. Today, it’s a word mostly used to describe a certain modern aesthetic. One that values blank space, a monochrome colour palette and clean lines above all else. But in terms of lifestyle, it has another meaning. It’s about having only what you need. No excess. No clutter. Just the essentials. The key possessions required to get by. It’s a school of thought we can really get behind, particularly when it comes to our wardrobes. Imagine not having to worry about what to wear, safe in the knowledge that whatever occasion arises, you’re equipped with the sartorial tools to...
A press release on the disappearance of Erika Renee Johnson Kelly places her last known whereabouts in East Atlanta, Georgia and states that she was wearing green denim pants at the time.

Follow the advice of Gwen Whiting and Lindsey Boyd, cofounders of The Laundress, and you’ll tackle that pile in no time: Work in Small Batches While you might typically wait for your hamper to fill up before heading...
Despite the anxiety, worry, sadness, despair, and [insert most other negative feelings here] that flowed through me in the first few weeks of staying home, another small thought crept up through my brain fog: how were my two cats going to handle us all being crammed into our tiny apartment 24/7? My and my fiancé's 3-year-old cats, Grey and Swayze, are sisters, but they couldn't be more different. Where Swayze is needy, snuggly, affectionate, and warm, Grey is typically standoffish, moody, has major resting b*tch face, and lets out a crotchety meow when she wants something (read: food). She doesn't spend time with us when we're hanging out on the couch like her sister does, she doesn't snuggle up to...
