In Her Words: Veronica McCarthy

Veronica got in touch with us when we put out an open call for beauty contributors. A week later we met for coffee, and now two months and a handful of beauty pieces later, I feel confident openly admitting that I’m kind of obsessed with her. We all are! She’s painfully funny, very smart, super real, and obviously so beautiful. Ok ok, I’ll stop now and let Veronica take over and tell you about her experience with beauty standards and self-image, in her own words.

“This is a laid back look for a busy day at the office, between meetings and calls. It’s comfortable, chic, minimal, yet playful – and all that is very representative of my style.

Do The Denim Thing

Call it my Toronto upbringing bias, but I’m a big fan of the Canadian Tuxedo and all of its varietal possibilities.

Misty Copeland: A Modern Day Muse

Misty Copeland has been on the top of my list of people I’ve dreamt of interviewing for a long time. Her talent, her story and her talent for telling her story are completely inspiring – yes she’s a ballerina, but she’s not ethereal – she’s real, and she’s here to change our perception of ballet and of what it means to be one of the top ballet dancers of her generation.
