Tourist Attire

Sunday, March 27, 2016 · In: Fashion, Travel

One of my favorite parts of traveling, as I’m sure is common for most fashion bloggers, is choosing outfits for the trip. For Dubai, I was cognizant of the culture and needing to find more modest options. Dress code is a little more relaxed at resorts, but I knew we had a day planned in Old Dubai visiting the souks.

I wanted to find a shirt that would cover my arms, but still be comfortable in the heat. Fortuitously, I was introduced to the brand Kit and Ace when the local store invited me for a visit.

Kit and Ace was founded by Shannon and J.J. Wilson, the wife and son of Chip Wilson, who founded the popular athletic apparel company Lululemon. Kit and Ace elevates the athleisure trend with technical luxury, using proprietary scientific fabrics in fashionable and functional designs.

This white, scallop-edged blouse from Kit and Ace was perfect for staying cool while covered in the Deira souks. I paired it with the comfiest jeans ever and classic chucks. My favorite reversible tote (under $50!) was perfect for storing all the souvenirs we bought in the markets.

The “Page” blouse I’m wearing c/o Kit and Ace, is a new addition for spring and not yet available online. Check out the website to find a location near you, or shop other items in their collection!

From Political Pawns to Punchlines: Leave Adoptees From Political Pawns to Punchlines: Leave Adoptees Out of Your Abortion Arguments (and Memes)

"We will adopt your baby" posts went viral on Twitter only days after the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Unsettling photos of nightmarish couples were shared en masse, mocking the White hopeful adoptive parents who posed with protest signs bearing the phrase in celebration of the ruling. Advocates from both sides of the abortion debate are quick to invoke adoption to support their views, but neither group seems interested in the experiences of those most impacted- adoptees.

Whether intended as jest or otherwise, snarky quips prodding anti-abortion advocates to foster or adopt as a test of their “pro-life” commitment are misguided and uninformed. This irresponsible argument demonstrates a striking lack of sympathy for the children they would see placed in such dangerous hands and a fundamental misunderstanding about the adoption and foster care systems.

Three of the conservative Supreme Court justices who voted to uphold Mississippi’s abortion ban are adoptive parents. Many people who prayed for the end of legalized abortion are the same ones carrying the “We will adopt your baby” posters. The practice of adoption goes hand in hand with colonialism and White Supremacy or saviorism—undergirded by the belief that parents of color are less qualified or deserving of a chance to raise their children.

Adoptee voices matter, and they could help dismantle a broken system. Please spend time listening to our experiences and learning more about the history of the adoption industrial complex, family separation, and lifelong adoptee trauma. Read between the memes, and you will find our stories.
