How to Find Your Personal Style

Let's start with a simple visual: Think of your ideal wardrobe as the suitcase you'd pack for a trip where the itinerary is "grab chic pics at every destination." You'd likely take your favorite new dress, the jeans that fit you like a glove, and your wear-everywhere sneakers-not the clothes that've been squished to the sides of your closet for two years. The lesson here? Personal style is about curation, editing out pieces that don't feel right and investing in ones that feel great every day. Now, let's...

1. Shop Your Closet Before You Shop the Shops

Empty your dresser drawers and put only your best stuff back. Donate the rest. What remains is your foundation and a blueprint for the things you are drawn to and should get more of. This process will also help you realize you have more favorite outfits than you think.

2. Stop Letting Social Media Detour Your Direction

THE NEW C-SUITE 2024

Progress. It’s a word that, in 2024, gets thrown around a lot. Especially when it comes to representation across all sorts of roles at all sorts of companies, including, crucially, at start-ups. Yet...people of color—and specifically women of color—still don’t often get the chance to even enter the conversation. Over the past few years, less than 1 percent of venture capital funding in this country has gone toward women of color entrepreneurs. (Making matters worse, funds that are geared toward supporting these women have become targets of anti-affirmative-action groups, forcing at least one to shut down entirely.)

HOTTER Than DRAGON FIRE

It’s very likely that no matter where you are right now, there’s a copy of Fourth Wing nearby. Probably one of Iron Flame too. Both books, by romantasy queen Rebecca Yarros, topped every bestseller list—and absolutely ignited BookTok, spawning a rabid fandom that cannot get enough of badass heroine Violet Sorrengail and her relationship with fellow dragon-rider Xaden Riorson. Honestly, what’s not to love? There’s extreme adventure. Absurdly high stakes. Wildly hot sex. And the promise of a lot more, starting right here, with this exclusive first excerpt of the series’ third book, Onyx Storm. Friends, get your daggers ready. (IYKYK. If you don’t, prepare to get obsessed.)
