Welcome to the holiday edition of Pop Fashion! This week we are breaking from our traditional format to answer listener questions! Kaarin talks about how to become a fashion consultant (and the advice that people never want to hear), and Lisa tells the story of how she adopted her cat. Other things discussed - are unfinished hemlines trendy or are manufacturers getting lazy, is it possible to find a brand / store that remains consistent with sizes, how do you shop ethically, how do you start a podcast, and do you need to go to fashion school to become a stylist? Find out the answers and hang out!

Welcome to another edition of Pop Fashion! This week in hot topics - L.L.Bean's boots are so popular that they are rushing to fill orders in time for Christmas, and James Bond's new lady love is 50 (gasp!).

Welcome to the Thanksgiving edition of Pop Fashion! Apparel and lifestyle brand C Wonder is getting ready to close most of its stores. But, was the store launched as part of an elaborate revenge scheme? Conde Nast agrees to pay a $5.8M settlement to former interns. But, should interns expect to be paid? Have magazine internships always been available only to the elite? The Royals issued a dress code to American journalists, and apparel company Zady gets behind a "sourced in" initiative that hopes to illuminate all aspects of the retail supply chain. Finally, the Gwyneth Paltrow responds to Martha Stewart's recent dig with a Jailbird Cake. Our main topic is about being a hot mess! Are you the conductor of the Hot Mess Express? Do you know someone who is? Lisa and Kaarin explore the history behind the term "hot mess" and how we can stop glorifying people who embody bad decision making. Come hang out!
