Despite popular opinion of Southern California style being anything more than flipflops and sweatpants, Prét-à-Porter night at Orange County Fashion Week proved completely otherwise. Works of art everywhere. Among the center grounds of fashion weeks that have dominated social media, New York, London, Milan, little old Orange County was reigning in its local community. Nestled in the architecturally awing yet

If there’s any one banality of the modern style blogging sphere this blog has sought out to deconstruct, it’s saying more than “look at this pretty dress.” Today, we explore the importance of ethical fashion in a world of mass consumerism… This past Saturday I was able to attend a fairtrade fashion show that was created in collaboration with ethical

It’s the summer before university begins a girl decides to start a blog. She doesn’t know where this is going. This, as in, the blog. and Life. Hi, I’m Aditi. 17 year old girl with big dreams and a series of contradictions which I usually don’t like…but sometimes do. I have no idea where life will take me. And that

  • Monsoon hikes, Nepali summer 🌱
  • Swipe for a wholesome visitor 😍 Nepal locals!

  • Countries like Nepal are the constant grounds for Westerners to come in and have their epiphanies; among the most common you’ll hear is “They have nothing yet they’re so happy!” — operating on the understanding that we need something to be happy (beyond basics, of course). There’s a lot to unpack with positionality and privilege in these statements, but the biggest conversation that has come about is the difference of collective consciousness between the East and West— in the West, most live in order of “have, do, be,” whereas here, it’s “be, do, have.” Continuing to unlearn what we’ve been fed about conditional happiness, definitions of productivity, and worth 🌱
  • One week into Nepali farm living and the pace of life has stood out: one of slow living, patient curation, and sustainable [re]use of resources. @BaumeWatches is mirroring these philosophies with their new line of eco-friendly customized timepieces, disrupting the luxury watch market through sustainable design + materials. ✨ #makingtime #designforabettertomorrow #baume
  • Taken during my first misty morning at Her Farm Nepal, home for next month ♥️ Her Farm is an 100% female owned and operated organic farm that was created as a space for womxn to reclaim their agency, with most coming from backgrounds of domestic abuse. One of the farms' biggest elements is their film and photography studio, where womxn use these mediums as a tool for self-narration, and take on local projects and generate income. So excited to grow, teach & learn alongside these beacons of resilience this next month 🙏🏽 Also featured, two new faves: gamcha dhotis from @145east & Nepali tea ☕️
  • A divine feminine energy lingers all around 💃🏽 Peep my Insta-highlights to see more action from the last few days 📽
  • Switching gears from Paris to Nepal and it’s been a glorious assault on the senses. Kathmandu presents itself in a way that’s equal part serene and madness, wrapped in the most lush sights I’ve ever seen (seriously... this is life in full saturation mode). 🌈☁️
  • Photographing the underrepresented sides of Parisian magic with @floriansbook at the Grand Mosque of Paris 🌿 Wearing @VictoriaRoadNY ✨ #ADIMAY
  • Morning from a raw face in a hot & humid Paris 🥖
  • Back on the gram after taking a few weeks hiatus while filming a documentary in Paris ✨ Taking this summer to push myself as a creator— navigating all the highs and lows of finding and refining my voice as a storyteller (so here's a virtual love note to all those along for the ride... y’all know who you are 💘) Stay tuned for Paris visual backlog, coming to an Insta-feed near you 🌹 #ADIMAY
  • Round two in Paris: Documentary edition🌹
  • Dear America, Let’s take today to really reflect on what America really means— beyond palatable notions of national identity. Let’s look at our patriotism through a critical lens. Let’s remember the dark history of the nation, and how systems rooted in oppression continue to replicate themselves today. And, most importantly, let’s put in the work redefine what “America(n)” is. Sincerely yours, Unrepresented 🇺🇸
