📰 Perlae: An Oral-Care Brand Giving Toothpaste the Skinification Treatment {% if EntryImageUrl and EntryImageUrl != "" %} {% endif %} ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: HQ:  Dallas, TX Founder:  Daniella Omijeh Social: Instagram , TikTok Category: Oral Care E-comm: perlaeco.com Price Range:  $14-$35 Hero Product: Opal Whitening Toothpaste ($14) Stockists: Amazon , TikTok Shop How to get in touch: info@perlaeco.com Origin Story Growing up between Nigeria, Australia, Italy and America, Daniella Omijeh saw firsthand how differently the world treats oral health. Some cultures prioritize it. Others dismiss it entirely. That contrast never left her. When she started experiencing her own dental issues at Penn State, she went looking for a toothpaste that matched the intention she brought to the rest of her beauty routine. What she found instead was a lawsuit, the brand she'd been trusting had been hiding what was actually in it. She started reading ingredient labels....

This isn't to say that local businesses haven't faced their fair share of challenges in recent years, but according to wholesale technology platform Faire's Independent Retail Report for Q2 2026, indie retailers — particularly those in small towns — are on the rise. This shift follows a wave of big-box store closures (think Macy's, Dollar Tree and Joann) over the past year, while independent retailers have opened more doors in the same period. Though the market may still seem oversaturated with chain stores, independent retail actually accounts for more than 50% of retail locations in every U.S. state, and 65% of U...

📰 Guizio Opens Its First West Coast Store {% if EntryImageUrl and EntryImageUrl != "" %} {% endif %} ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: It's hard to imagine a city better suited to Danielle Guizio than Los Angeles. The New York-based designer has built a brand beloved by celebrities and influencers , making a West Hollywood storefront feel less like an expansion and more like an inevitability. Until now, though, Guizio only had stores in New York City (SoHo) and, more recently, Aventura, Florida. Her first West Coast location, at 8723 Melrose Ave., is also her biggest: 3,200 square feet in the heart of WeHo's shopping corridor. "L.A. has always been such a huge part of our community, so opening here felt like the natural next step," Guizio tells Fashionista via email. "Melrose has an iconic fashion history, and I loved the idea o...
