Confidence is Attraction

Date night can be nerve wrecking and intimidating, but the one thing that makes it easier is confidence. Dressing with confidence can be the best trait you can bring to the table. I had the honor of meeting Boston's top dating coach last week at Neiman Marcus. Neely Steinberg, the founder of The Love Trep, co-hosted with Meg Sharma of Snazzy Bellanista, an avid fashion blogger for Neiman Marcus' CUSP spring preview. She emphasized confidence being the main ingredient for a healthy relationship and for dating. Finding that exact tone for flirting starts with confidence and loving yourself, before anything. Picking an outfit for date night can be stressful; therefore I picked my favorite looks from the Neiman Marcus spring preview and my own.

Favorite Neiman Marcus CUSP looks chosen by Neely

1. Lace romantic look for a guaranteed fancy dinner!

  • Two piece outfit: Alice and Olivia
  • Shoulder bag: Chanel

2. A night at a classy bar, or a night in the town.

  • Leather jacket: Fringe leather jacket CUSP
  • Handbag: Phillip Lim
  • Maxi dress: CUSP, Neiman Marcus


3. Casual date at a sporting event and or movie.

  • Jacket: contemporary brand at CUSP Neiman Marcus
  • Pants/Shoes: contemporary brand CUSP Neiman Marcus

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
