We’re More Connected Than Ever, So Why Do So Many of Us Have Nobody to Call?

We’ve made it ridiculously easy to reach people. There’s an app for dating, an app for friendship, a group chat for everything, a platform for whatever obscure interests or kinks you happen to have, and a phone in your pocket that can connect you to almost anyone you’ve ever known. You can wake up and… Continue reading

Why Your Life Doesn’t Have to Fit into a Box

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how badly people seem to want to fit themselves into a box. And I don’t just mean professionally, although that’s definitely part of it. I mean everything. The way we dress, decorate our homes, spend our free time, build our careers, get educated, date, travel, even the hobbies we pick… Continue reading

I Miss When People Were Just Bad at Things

I’ve been thinking lately about how strange it is that we don’t seem to give ourselves much room to be beginners anymore. Not beginners in the sense that we’re failing or not trying. I mean beginners in the most ordinary way: people who are learning something because they’re curious, because it sounds fun, or because… Continue reading

About Me

Hi bestie! I’m Jasmine, the girl behind The Girl in Gucci Glasses. I grew up mostly in Europe as a military brat, which gave me a love for people, different cultures, and seeing life from more than one perspective. A health scare in 2019 also taught me not to spend so much time worrying about the little things or waiting for the “right” moment. So I talk about dating, style, getting older, ambition, and whatever else I’m figuring out along the way. I’ll tell you what I think, share what I’m learning, and hopefully make you feel a little less alone in your own messy middle. Come hang out. There’s always room for one more.
