FASHION: COPENHAGEN FASHION WEEK STREET STYLE
Copenhagen Fashion Week kicked off the Fall/Winter 2025 season last week, bringing a welcome burst of style after the typically quiet post-holiday period. Despite rainy weather on opening day, attendees showcased their street style. The Scandinavian fashion crowd embraced trending faux fur coats. Warm accessories like trapper hats and balaclavas were everywhere, while menswear-inspired elements, particularly ties, emerged as a key trend. With the shows running through Friday, there's plenty more street style inspiration to come from this influential fashion week.

LIFESTYLE: HOW THEY COME IS HOW THEY LEAVE RELATIONSHIP THEORY
There is a new relationship theory going around on Tiktok right now which suggests that the way relationships begin often mirrors how they end. For example, fast-starting relationships tend to end abruptly, while slow-burning romances typically fade gradually. This pattern manifests in various scenarios, from people who quickly develop and lose feelings to those who leave existing relationships to start new ones, only to repeat the cycle. A psychologist, Veronica West, acknowledges that people can change, but also emphasizes that these relationship patterns tend to persist unless there's genuine personal growth. She actually suggests (although it may seem crazy) for you to carefully consider someone's relationship history and breakup patterns before getting involved with them.

HOME: OXBLOOD IS THE COLOR TAKING OVER INTERIORS
The rich, deep shade of oxblood is popular in interior design, bridging classic elegance with contemporary tastes. This trend was reflected in the 1stDibs Designer Trends survey showing an increase from 12% to 20% in designer interest. The color's renewed popularity marks a shift away from the pandemic era's preference for calming neutrals. Oxblood offers the perfect balance between bold and sophisticated – its brownish undertones making it less jarring than pure red while maintaining visual interest. So if you’re looking to add some sophistication to your space, consider this color.

While we're here for staying in our PJs (some days), it can be beneficial, both mentally and physically, to put a bit of effort in dressing up for the day, even with nowhere to go. It’s uplifting in a way that can help with the loneliness that accompanies work from home, and it doesn't hurt to show up to Zoom meetings dressed your best every now and then. It may take a bit of trial and error to find the right combination of relaxing comfort and presentable business casual, but we've come up with four WFH outfits that embrace both.

ON PERSEVERANCE: “Perseverance is failing nineteen times and succeeding the twentieth” — Julie Andrews

The biggest difference in those who succeed vs those who fail is that one refused to give up. Think of failure is a part of life, not an end result.
