By Erika, Resident Fashionista Side note: I know I promised this post for Monday. If you follow YCS on Twitter (which you should) then you probably have a basic idea of the giant mess this past weekend turned into! Needless to say I didn’t get anything done – not even blogging. Excuses are stupid, so [...]
By Ean, Men's Style Master Sitting here trying to figure out the best way to introduce myself and my aesthetic to the readers of YCS has been a difficult task. I sit here completely thankful that the creator of YCS Erika has given me a chance to reach out to the male readers of YCS. [...]
