Daydream and Listen

She is SO back! This week we're welcoming in 2025 and the return of the Daydream and Listen podcast! It's been a hot minute since I last put out an episode, but I am committed to speaking on the mic for weekly chats about fashion, being a 20-something girly, and any other trending topic I have on my mind. For the return episode, I decided to discuss a topic that has been living rent-free in my mind for the past week or so. That topic is the latest developments in counterfeit designer goods. In this episode, I discuss things like the Walmart Birkin saga, the rise of "The Little Yellow App"––otherwise known as DHGate, and some influencer drama revolving around fake designer items.
