Some bloggers discuss “weekend wear” and it involves platform wedges and fisherman’s hats and other awesome beautiful stuff. My weekend wear involved zero hair/makeup/shoes and squishing lots of mud between my toes. As I was road tripping through serious humidity...

the weekend
In honor of my upcoming birthday, I wanted to do something different and escape the city. I can’t exactly afford a vacation, so I went to PA and crashed at my parents’ cabin on the Susquehanna river.
Along came Brad, Anna, and Joe. We hung out outside all day and night, eating, drinking, and enjoying the wildlife.
We kayaked and stuff.
Brad and Anna even swam in the river.

24-year-old advice for my 14-year-old self
14 doesn’t feel so long ago… Thank you for this question. It’s fitting, because I am 24, about to turn 25, memories floating in my brain, and a nice ten years past that age. My answer is partially advice, partially things I wish I knew a lot sooner, and partially stuff I would like to say to my 14-year-old self right now.
Only hang out with people you like.
I promise that no matter your...

kelsassy asked: Hey Caroline and Roxy, I saw where you blogged about the post on BUST, wanted to come forward and say hi (it's Intern Kelsie from BUST, Kelsassy is my Tumblr alter-ego). Anyway, I've admired your site for a while now. As a self-identified broad, it's super refreshing to see people who look like me (GASP! not size 2?!?) flaunting their rad style. Glad you liked the write-up and thank...

Broadist on Bust!!!!
I gotta say, this is one of our proudest broad-related moments of all time.
I went through my college years absorbing every page of BUST and yearning to one day be a part of this amazing publication. Well, I’m not a contributor (yet?) but I can say that seeing myself on Bust’s blog yesterday was not only a shock but a huge accomplishment. It’s an honor to be alongside Latter...

broadist + SEIBEI = two tee giveaway!
Scholars maintain that Broadist and SEIBEI is a match made in body positive true love bff pizza party magic. With designs themed around fat positivity and snack food and mystical creatures, it’s really an incredible brand. I remember the first SEIBEI item I purchased (a tote bag at Renegade Craft) before I even knew David. Now that we’re internet buds (he and Roxy are friends IRL,...

little things. simple things.
Caroline recently posted about self care and it got me thinking about my own self care rituals. It’s not just about treating yourself or taking some time off, sometimes self care is going to that one farmers market that you like (that isn’t even the closest one to your house) because you like it (and it reminds you of home).
I took these pictures in late-February/early-March, but...

instagram
Broadist isn’t a design blog. It’s not an art blog, it’s not a food blog, and sadly, it’s not a sea creature blog. But, my instagram is full of these things that you probably wouldn’t see on here normally. Glimpses into my life and times, instantly. You’ll also probably catch most outfits before they end up on Broadist, rendering this blog entirely obsolete.
