Published sporadically intended to tarnish and wear with time, that accidental luster tucked away in a corner.

This really should be more monolithic. Words to be shouted from rooftops and felt in our bones. An anchor to tether myself to my grounding force when I feel swept away by the rising tides of the world. Grandeur at it's finest disguised as our first words, another flawed introduction. But who are we kidding - I'm not launching a new religion, I'm just hoping to carve out a space where you can seek out inspiration. To read words that matter, to gorge on beauty in the things others keep overlooking, and to offer sage advice between tried and true kindred spirits, losing touch, but falling effortless into step whenever they, we reconnect...

Oh how I want to be that friend for you. Hi. Hello. Welcome to Something Copper.

WE THE WITCHES

An autumnal icon pulled from the pages of History and a rundown of my early Fall style inclinations; what I live in and what I covet.

The Myth of Bikini Season

A four part essay exploring how we got to a place where there's nothing we fear more than a bathing suit. Industries built on the backs of insecurities and the impending doom of Summer. Perfection packaged as achievable as long as you start in April.

So I wrote a four part essay, unpacking exactly what makes feeling confident in a bikini so darn hard. A narrative more complex than how to feel beautiful at any size; my narrative for better or worse.

SOUGHT AFTER

Present & Accounted For

Where are they? The people that never seem to make the cut, that shine so brilliantly in my world.
