The Select FileS

Consider these Files a distillation of years, days, months and hours spent researching, searching, tagging, pinning, asking for information and giving recommendations. They are your resource for all things beauty and fashion, your online travel guides, social guides, holiday catalog, life coach, design consultant and anything else in your life that might benefit from an exchange of thoughts and information.

The world is big and life is a work in progress. And these are just my 7 cents.

FASHION | THE COLD SHOULDER

July 11, 2016/ The Select 7

I know, I know. There are now 1,000,000 off the shoulder top and dress options out there. But I bet none of them are as cute this one from ASOS. Because guess what? It's $25. Not kidding. And you're welcome.

It’s no secret that we have a serious love affair going with California. It’s always been a dream to live there, and our thoughts are on the best coast now more than ever. With the deadliest fires in history raging on, destroying hundreds of thousands of acres and homes and displacing hundreds of thousands of people and and animals, it’s hard to sit here in NYC and not do anything. Luckily, there’s been a quick call to action, and there are very simple ways you can assist the efforts there from wherever you happen to be sitting right now. Tap the link in our bio to find our how. #worldkindnessday #theselectfiles #WildfireRelief #California #CaliforniaFires #weareallcalifornians #wearecalifornia

If you're one of the more than 22 million brave men and women who do so much to keep our country safe, you can legit say this. If you're not, we asked @bobwoodruff and his wife, @leewoodruff, founders of @stand4heroes to share 7 meaningful ways to help veterans, service members and their families this Veteran's Day. We promise, if you follow even one of their suggestions (and we hope you’ll follow more) you’ll feel like you saved the world today, too. #sundayselect #onsundaysweshare #standforheroes #theselectset #theselectsetsunday #theselect7 #linkinbio .

MEET | MARY PEFFER
Featured 11.12-11.18.18 | If there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that if we don’t believe in ourselves, no one else will, either. It’s a life lesson that seems obvious, but try to actually put it into practice and you realize that it takes a ton of chutzpah, a thick skin and a killer work ethic to actually employ. Unless you’re @marypeffer, then it’s just what you do. This boss babe learned the lesson early in her career from none other than designer and former Creative Director @hedislimane, whom she worked under at @ysl, starting out as an assistant and working her way up to become the head of American press and marketing. But before she climbed that ladder, she moved (on her own) from her hometown of Cleveland to NYC on nothing but a gut instinct. Ten years later, she did the same thing, but this time to the Left Coast, where she landed dream job after dream job, finally settling in at her current post as VP of Global Marketing for @jbrandjeans. It should also be noted that she lives by three mottos (write these down — you’re going to need them): 1. Someone is going to have your dream job, so it may as well be you; 2. Keep your side of the street clean; 3. If the answer is no, it’s not personal — you just need to rework your pitch. All of this to say this: She believes. She believes in herself, her worth and her ability, and it is infectious. Indeed, Mary Peffer is the kind of woman who makes you want to be a better person, a more evolved human — a cooler being. So sit back, relax and absorb every word she has to say because she certainly has a way with words. Welcome to Mary’s week. And to her #randomacts: @plannedparenthood + @aclu_nationwide #mondaymotivation #mondaySELECT #onepersonsevendays #theselectguest #inmyjbrand #theselect7 #linkinbio // 📸 by @kimgenevieve of @kimgenevievestudio for @theselect7 /

MEET | LAUREN WASSER
Featured 11.5-11.11.18 | There’s no doubt that we get to feature some pretty badass personalities on this site, but this week we’ve outdone ourselves with a woman who just might be the most badass of them all. Lauren Wasser is far from your typical multi-hyphenate — yes, this model-actress-activist is absolutely all the things — she’s been modeling since she could talk, was an athlete in training (basketball was her game), and spent many years on the fashion circuit as a true It Girl — but she’s also much, much more. Known most famously as the Girl with the Golden Legs, this is where @theimpossiblemuse (her Instagram handle, which kind of sums it all up, right?) separates from the pack: After losing both of her legs to Toxic Shock Syndrome, which she contracted in 2012, Lauren chose not to be leveled by her disease, but to use her platform and her personal experience to educate young girls on the real dangers of tampon use, and to work tirelessly alongside U.S Representative @repmaloney to invoke policy change and to raise awareness about a disease that is so often ignored. And she’s not shy about it — she uses her golden legs (which, we might add, are truly spectacular), to show the world that it’s possible to find strength and beauty everywhere — even in places that might feel anything but. So yes, she’s a badass and yes, she’s a stunner, but most importantly, she puts the model in role model.
