    Come With a Shopping Director to New York Fashion Week | The Scene

    Come with me to New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027 for runway shows, fashion trends, celebrity sightings, outfit breakdowns, and the inevitable chaos that comes with trying to survive NYFW in heels. For Episode 100 of Dinner for Shoes, I’m taking you inside the Spring/Summer 2027 runway season — from the collections and trends I loved to what Fashion Week actually looks like between shows. We’re going behind the scenes at Cult Gaia, Coach, Tommy Hilfiger, Alice + Olivia, Christian Siriano, SIMKHAI, 7 For All Mankind, Tibi, Prabal Gurung, Selkie, PatBO, and more, breaking down everything from the return of maximalism and bold color to some seriously incredible accessories. Plus: my daily NYFW outfits, street-style moments, mishaps, random New Yorkers commenting on my clothes, and all the very Dinner for Shoes moments that never make it into a traditional Fashion Week recap.

    The Dentist Who Built the Cutest PJ Brand on the Internet — Sunday Littles | Dinner for Shoes

    Bridal pajamas and scrunchies, Sunday Littles, and founder stories — this week on Dinner for Shoes, I'm joined by Sunday Littles founder Stacey Kalsi for an exclusive first look at her beautiful new Wild Wild Rest collection. Stacey also surprises me with custom embroidered bridal pajamas and shares why the brand is expanding into the bridal space for brides, bridesmaids, and moms alike. Over eggs Benedict, we talk about the inspiration behind Sunday Littles, how Stacey balances running the Canadian, mom-founded brand while working full-time as a dentist, why there's no "right" timeline for women, and the little moments that inspired one of today's fastest-growing family sleepwear brands. Plus, Stacey brings the sweetest "something blue" to the table: her Chanel flats, purchased right around the time Sunday Littles first launched.

    Aeston West Founder Kait Schneider Says Your Skincare Routine Is Too Complicated | Dinner for Shoes

    Aeston West founder Kait Schneider joins Dinner for Shoes host Sarah Wasilak for a “get unready with me” episode about skincare overload, confidence, and simplifying beauty. Over avocado toast, Kait explains why her viral 3-step Aeston West routine is designed to replace the endless tubes, serums, gadgets, and complicated regimens that dominate the beauty industry today. The two discuss founder style, wearing red as confidence armor, beauty burnout, and whether we’re all doing way too much in the name of skincare. Sarah and Kait also head to the bathroom to try the full Aeston West routine together in real time.
