Irene, this was my favorite post all week! I loved everyone’s interviews and I found lots of new books to check out as I’m a voracious reader. Also loved the mention of the Okanogan Valley as I spend part of the year there.
Yay! Okay, seriously, is British Columbia the most blessed place on Earth or what? From coastline, sea to sky, semi-arid interiors…if the fashion was better, I would have stayed lol.
I loved reading through all these recommendations and finding new songs, books, and substack accounts to expand my perspective. Thank you, Irene, for your thoughtful writing and gorgeous, inspiring approach to style - IMV has been a consistent treat throughout a busy and sometimes turbulent year!
I just bookmarked several reads to help switch up my algo. While my feed remains very fashion oriented I used the later half of 2024 to diversify my style feed and I’m so grateful for it!!
Thank you for sharing this! And mixing up my algo, too. Which reminded me that I need LESS politics and MORE music this year. Oh, and the book recommendations are an extra bonus. I'd like to read more and listen to more music in 2025...while continuing devouring all things fashion. Let's not totally lose our minds, right? 🤗
Thank you for this list. I have some new Substack accounts to follow. Some of these are really interesting and diversify my follows, which I quite enjoy. Thanks!
.......so many interesting people and things to explore further.....you have kept me busy and I appreciate these recommendations.......Happy New Year!!!!.....xxxs

Lol about the fashion. Although one of my favorite clothing stores, Ad Hoc, is in Penticton, BC
It is funny though that most Americans think BC consists only of Vancouver and Vancouver Island and they have no idea how glorious the inland area is.
GLORIOUS! That drive in from Vancouver is also incredible :').
Great post. Especially love that two interviewees mentioned Gregory Alan Isakov as best music...well deserved!
It was new to me! Found it on Spotify and played it allll day!

Haha, true about the politics. Perhaps it's been a blessing I don't see much on my feed.
Search "music" and "books" and start following (not necessarily subscribing) and hopefully your feed will adjust soon! Happy new year!
