Episode 1 include considerations in house shoe trends and some great recommendations including Japanese House Slippers, the elegant Moroccon Babouche, Anti-fashion orthopedics, Alpaca fur slippers and our Indoor/Outdoor sneakers. Nap Dresses come up as fashion brands have pivoted into ebracing comfort and style while at home. Amanda talks Sleeper and Hill House in particualar here - but we all know you can wear any dress in your house and just call it a “house dress” ;) Kim explores her frustration trying to find comfort shorts and the apparent hive mind proving it difficult to get cozy in the heat. She touches on the sold out sweat shorts, Patagonia Baggie popularity, Lisa Says Gah louge set, those sweaty biker shorts and retro Soffee gym shorts. We also talk about how this continues to evolve into the trends that we will see in fall included 90’s chunky ribs we are seeing everywhere. Amanda takes us down the road to craft-town with the re-rise of craft - or more particularly sewing and knitting. She also provides all you tech moguls with a HOT opportunity in the industry. Kim takes a dive into the Blue Blocking lenses everyone&nbsp; and their mother keeps talking about. What is it? Is it even valid or a waste of money?.... and if you wanna jump on board who is crushing it? (BTW Amanda has a pair from Jins). Kim does a call out to the brand Caddis for working to normalize aginig, offering blue blocking lenses and make readers actually (*finally) cool looking. Way to disrupt Caddis!&nbsp; Visual Proof ︎︎︎ House Shoes <img width="990" height="864" width_o="990" height_o="864" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/44384df0bd01ac6fbbd887c37c11350a8d99fda885923561c39d2cfaaa5682b2/Screen-Shot-2020-08-01-at-1.48.04-PM.png" data-mid="78888864" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/990/i/44384df0bd01ac6fbbd887c37c11350a8d99fda885923561c39d2cfaaa5682b2/Screen-Shot-2020-08-01-at-1.48.04-PM.png" /> ariana bohlinghttps://arianabohling.com/ Ethically sourced alpaca slippers <img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1416/9084/products/Artboard3_ec331df6-5959-4a4d-88b9-892ac8fdf8a8_1024x1024.jpg?v=1596227099">Merippa Top Drawer &gt;&gt;https://topdrawershop.com/products/merippa-house-shoes?variant=31371145314388Reversible House Shoes <img width="948" height="1268" width_o="948" height_o="1268" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1e84b21922485208342ff2d21566c8455658f494d87a4308e74ef895ec851a1b/Screen-Shot-2020-08-01-at-1.05.46-PM.png" data-mid="78885205" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/948/i/1e84b21922485208342ff2d21566c8455658f494d87a4308e74ef895ec851a1b/Screen-Shot-2020-08-01-at-1.05.46-PM.png" /> Moroccon Babouche Etsy&gt;&gt; leather Moroccon Slipper <img width="1304" height="1382" width_o="1304" height_o="1382" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ae5f14c04df7e9a0b6b93ab52ea3f8d1b7a9273386812b017b9cb4f02d47be58/Screen-Shot-2020-08-01-at-1.17.22-PM.png" data-mid="78885679" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ae5f14c04df7e9a0b6b93ab52ea3f8d1b7a9273386812b017b9cb4f02d47be58/Screen-Shot-2020-08-01-at-1.17.22-PM.png" /> Platform Gardener Shoe Cape Robbin &gt;&gt; Amanda’s personal recommendation over the classic Croc with a full 90’s platform sole. <img width="1154" height="1244" width_o="1154" height_o="1244" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/730e6f7ffac76e15ea797df6ed71a458194cef00dee486ae4a68f97f7de7e024/Screen-Shot-2020-08-01-at-1.23.49-PM.png" data-mid="78886270" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/730e6f7ffac76e15ea797df6ed71a458194cef00dee486ae4a68f97f7de7e024/Screen-Shot-2020-08-01-at-1.23.49-PM.png" /> Hurricane Drift Teva &gt;&gt; Anti-fashion but waterproof!

Kim starts off talking about the restaurant industry and how chefs are getting innovative with their craft - from Underground Detroit Pizza and Bread Businesses popping up across LA to Chef’s turning their love of cooking into online cooking classes. She talks about a class she is taking with Michelin chef and creator of Dark Horse Organic and the amazing condiments they are making. Prefer to order takeout? We got you - there are also cocktail making classes like Sangria and Secrets hosted virtually by a house of phenomenal drag queens. All part of Airbnb’s innovative counter approach to the epidemic. There is also Kim’s not to be missed review of the Always Pan from Our Place that is an insta-celebrity in its own right. Want $10 Off your first purchase? Use this link HERE&gt;&gt;. Amanda spirals into the Cake cutting meme that took over social media - its humble start from the basic cupcake to extreme cakes to full cakes that look exactly like toilet paper or croc. The resonating surreality of life as we know it and resulting memes that follow. Amanda discusses the “Grooms Cake” and how this may have influenced the popularity of the hyper-realistic cake trend that is reaching pitch. Amanda gets psychological so don’t miss out. Can’t get enough cake? Checkout the childhood splendor of Benny Cake&gt;&gt; and Juu Juu cake&gt;&gt; Kim dishes on the most searched recipes on Pinterest. No one is surprised it is all comfort food. Amanda goes on down to flavor town with her hard-hitting expose on extreme food recipes and social accounts. Savor the trend in “food hacks” and bodacious comfort foods. Want a deeper food coma? Check out Twisted&gt;&gt; Amanda wraps up our second episode diving into Artistic Jellies or Gelatin Art. Much in the same way that fantasy focaccia trended all over the cooking social channels Gelatin Art has been gaining in notoriety way before that beautiful flowers, fruits, and other foods suspended in gelatin (cottage core at its best) reminiscent of 70’s gelatin fascinations - popularized by Sharona Franklin who partnered with Opening Ceremony and was even knocked off by Gucci.

Kim has a wake-up call in the form of a new coffee disruptor Jot that has changed up her coffee game completely.&nbsp; And both parties share their distaste for Nespresso. (spoiler: they all taste the same and the same is not delicious) Amanda opens up a can of wisdom on Boozy Seltzer that has literally flooded the market -&nbsp; and all we gotta say is “it’s about damn time”….wait for the big reveal on her favorite! Trends are the name of the game over here - so jump on into the top trending cocktails by state during quarantine acording to Google. Grasshopper anyone?&nbsp; Bonus content: Amanda shares her secret cocktail recipe for the Bachelorette Trainwreck. Kim moves onto her research paper re: the history around the vaguely named “natural wine” movement that is shaking up the wine industry - or actually has been since the 1960’s. And Amanda and her agree - Orange really is the new Rosé. Kim toasts the new luxury social beverage disruptors Haus and Kin - both elevating the game while reducing (or eliminating) the alcohol content for a different type of socialization.&nbsp; Finally - Amanda dives into the newest bounty of bevvies that are offering more health benefits than the vitamin aisle. She also gives her stamp of approval on CBD &amp; Wellness Drinks like Vybes and Olipop.

As we all continue to be more “plugged in” than ever during the pandemic we cling to shared connection through our screens and the user generated content within. Amanda kicks us off with “What _ are you name” memes - like @whatdrunkbarbieareyou. Here are a few more favorites: @what_martha_are_you @whatmariahareyou @what.cake.areyou @what_spongebobmeme_are_you @what_90s_thing_you_are ….you get the picture Listen up... this next section not only has a your next profile pic but a smashing business idea as well!... Kim explores those wildfire ticktock aesthetic induced subculture trends of Cottage Core and Dark Academia - based on a romanticized nostalgia and self-soothing escapism the kids are into these days. Also see: &nbsp;sub-sub cultures within Cottage core like grandmacore, farmcore and more fantastically, goblincore, crowcore (collections of weird shiny trinkets), meadowcore (pretty pictures of meadows) and , fairycore (meadowcore but with mushrooms and magic). The trickle factor will mean we will likely see this in the fashion mix for some time now so buckle up! Amanda picks up on some new trends in the art of FANTASY floral arrangements. A sexy sister to Freakibana this ultra feminine form of the the trend marries the unusual elements of freakibana with the girly girl era of instagram rose walls and peony bouquets. Not following? Just take a look at Brrch&gt;&gt; - but prepare to be amazed. Amanda dips her toe into the normalizing trend - with a scathing expose on single use fashion amongst the kids these days and her movement to action repeat wear and cherishing the clothing you own. Did you know…. 41% of all 18-25-year-olds feel the pressure to wear a different outfit every time they go out? EwAnother 33%t of women – regardless of age – consider an outfit to be “old” after wearing it fewer than three times? Double Ew. 72% of women say they usually only wear a dress ONE TIME! A million Ew’s! Ladies really??1 in 6 people said they can’t wear an outfit again if it’s been photographed on social media. Disgusting. Jump aboard this sustainability train and help us popularize #oopsiworeitagain or #worn50times. Help us show the importance of having a versatile outfit, versus an overstuffed closet of one off pieces. We close our show taking a look at a social and community supported brand Fluide Cosmetics&gt;&gt; a genius queer cosmetics brand dedicated to shredding gender norms in the makeup industry. Stripping those stereotypes and filling a void in an underserved demographic, Fludie brought their cruelty-free and super fun products to the market specifically aimed at genderqueer and gender-expansive people who haven’t had the opportunity to buy makeup without shame. ALSO they donate a portion of their proceeds to LGTBQ initiatives. Bravo!

Amanda takes a twirl down memory lane with the Rollerskating trend that has enraptured the kids and blown back into popularity,&nbsp; spearheaded by rollerskating queen Ana “don’t hate, rollerskate” Coto. But this trend was never lost or forgotten by many as proven by the Documentary United Skates that explores and demonstrates the connection between black communities in LA - comes highly recommended.

After aligning on whether Social Distancing is in fact a trend - they talk about new passions in their current lives.&nbsp; Their is a stopover to the land of Viviene Westwood as they try to decode the prophecies and hieroglyphics amongst her well intentioned Save the World Climate Revolution concept she elaborated details out on instagram. @viviennewestwood&gt;&gt; Amanda then leads us right to the Great Outdoors with her hard hitting and impassioned plea against the term ‘glamping’ (aka glampcore) ︎- in preference of the more analog ‘camping’ (aka campcore) ︎. Referencing various “camping reports” and metrics done by the industry, Amanda breaks down some staggering numbers and trends of the outdoor vacation lifestyle: camping, RV and road trip essentials. Amanda reports on Cruise America &gt;&gt; and Outdoorsy &gt;&gt; for all your RV rental needs as well as some more luxurious accommodations like Getaway &gt;&gt;, Collective Retreats&gt;&gt; and Washington specific rec Souwester&gt;&gt;. Looking for some of the coolest gear? Amanda’s got you covered. Japanese based Snowpeak&gt;&gt; is her all time fave but also gives brownie points to Portland’s Poler&gt;&gt; and Canadian iconic brand Wood’s&gt;&gt;. Not ready to commit? Well guess what! You can rent!&nbsp; Arrive Outdoors &gt;&gt; can’t be more innovative and has it all. Kim unpacks the trends in retro camp &amp; sporty trends starting with the formidable bucket hat that has had more time in the sun than you can shake a stick at. She even defines a new aesthetic - Clubcore - sure to be the hottest trend this side of Ibiza. She goes on to give a run down of some indie brands representing including Lykee Wullf&gt;&gt; (Laid Back Hiking Club), Camp Collection &gt;&gt; (post-American Apparel Campcore excellence) and Big Bud Press&gt;&gt; with their 70’s style play clothes). Next Kim jet’s us off to the slopes for the Apres Ski trend that tiptoed into the premium performance ski apparel market like Perfect Moment&gt;&gt;, Erin Snow&gt;&gt; and Cordova &gt;&gt;&nbsp;and bound to make an appearance this fall in more contemporary collections. Special shout out to Back Beat Rags&gt;&gt; for hit early with Apres Surf organic cotton wave sweaters! Amanda digs up the gardening trends starting from straight from the seed - or the lack of seeds as everyone and their mother dug deep into mother earth and planted their very own victory gardens - for reliable food, beauty and a heady sense of purpose. Amanda’s got the gardening bug with her eye on the unfortunately named Veg Trug (check out in the link here&gt;&gt;)but super cool looking raised bed and the perfectly functional Picnic Time Gardening set seat. (check out link here&gt;&gt;) &nbsp; Plant demand is up and thankfully the marketplace is a goldmine of great online options to fill your home with some greenery. Amanda gives her perspective on The Sill&gt;&gt;, Bloomscape&gt;&gt; and her favorite Horti&gt;&gt; with pet safe options, subscriptions and a give back component called Plant Kindness. Don’t forget about the local shops - avoid the big box shops and shop small where they need it the most. Amanda shouts out to some of her favorite spots like Chloris + Prase (Philly), Walter Pine Floral Studio (Philly), Flower Bomb (Portland) and “sucsforyou” for all your succulent needs. Kim unpacks just a few of the trending outdoor brand that are particularly fantastic starting with Patagonia&gt;&gt;, a brand and company truly committed to the environment, conscious consumerism and sustainable production practices. With a motto: “don’t buy what you don’t need” is a refreshing and honest look at consumer culture. Fjallraven a Swedish Heritage brand has been trending with the GenZers rose to popularity over the last 10 years from their kindergarten, back straightening roots to be an iconic style backpack and outdoors brand that inspires adventurecore. She wraps up the episode with a look at the luxury cooler brand Yeti, the “range rover” of coolers and gives some perspective to the price point.

There was a lot to unravel in the trend of Normalization. This topic is their first two-parter! Amanda and Kim start on a lighter note about some new consumables they have tried recently. Amanda with Omsom&gt;&gt; a new sauce starter kit brand here to spice up your dinner game. Kim tried Liquid Death&gt;&gt; the premier aggressively heavy metal branded Tallboy cans of mountain water instructing you to “murder your thirst”. Diving headfirst into the theme Kim aquaints y’all with the concept of Normalization&gt;&gt; as a subjective and objective construct formed by cultural, societal, situational and moral perceptions that used to take decades to accomplish a majority shift in social acceptances even with large agencies behind the moments (like normalizing people with learning disabilities and developing socio-acceptance) . With the rise of social media the people have more power than ever to effect change by uniting to work toward normalizing outdated, stigmatized or biased norms amongst undervalued, oppressed, repressed, counterculture and minority populations. Not even that - it has in fact become mainstream.&nbsp; Everything from social justice campaigns, to environmentalism and political upheavals, mental health, wellness, body and sexuality.

But just remember - Along with great power comes great responsibility... The first area Kim covers is De-stigmatizing and Normalizing Puberty for Teens. Refinery29 reports 85% of 12-24-year-olds experience Acne and more than 50% of women in their 20s experiencing breakouts &gt;&gt;. You would think society would be a little gentler as this effects the majority of the population! She explores some really amazing indie brands who have a unique approach to tiptoeing closer to normalizing the teen skin and that right of passage. They have even started building trends that make it not just acceptable but rejoiced using stylized spot patches over acne to act as a form of self expression instead of shame. Two key players are optimistic brand Starface &gt;&gt; and softcore inspired Squish &gt;&gt; Kim drops the bomb that only 9 states mandate medically acruate sex ed in school….and introduces us to teen brand Blume&gt;&gt; a wellness company that mixes both natural products, actual education and a supportive community to offer a “Puberty Do-Over” Campaign In hopes to address self-esteem Issues - removing the taboos associated with “becoming a woman”.&nbsp; They have an assortment of natural products like skin, deodorant and period products. In addition they also have created a program called the State of Sex Ed&gt;&gt; with a full curriculum for teachers (!!) of medically acruate materials about sex ed - everything from phystical to emotional, safe sex practices, contraception and healthy releationships. One of the best parts? None of these brands re-touch and use real people in their campaigns. &nbsp;Amanda teezes out some details and history behind women’s body hair and body hair removal industry (valued at a whopping $1.2 billion in 2017 and is set to reach $3.4 billion by 2025) and wake up call of all the ladies who have been quarantining for half a year. She also explores some new disruptors in the female body hair game including Billie&gt;&gt; who is peeling back some marketing senselessness and embracing real bodies with real HAIR in their razor campaigns. They launched Project Body Hair&gt;&gt; aims to normalize seeing women with (god forbid!) body hair. Amanda also fluffs out the details on body hair beauty brand Fur&gt;&gt; with oils and lotions designed to nurture and soften all your body hairs and prevent ingrown hairs. Make sure to also check out a small but growing social media movement called #everydaylookism, calling for the end of body shaming, and that includes body hair shaming.
