This week, Dinner for Shoes goes on location, straight to the offices of Cerofy, an eco-design and certification platform helping fashion brands actually walk the walk when it comes to sustainability and CO₂ reduction.

I’m hanging out with Cerofy founder Corina Weikl, tattoo artist and sustainability entrepreneur (and the woman behind some of my tattoos), and Sydney Ellis, Cerofy’s Head of Sustainability & Product Strategy, to see what their real day-to-day looks like. We discuss how they help brands use data, AI, and smart design decisions to lower emissions, cut costs, and build real consumer trust without sacrificing creativity or style.

We talk fashion materials, sustainability myths, how tech is changing the industry right now, and what actually makes a difference when it comes to reducing CO₂ emissions (just in time for International Reducing CO₂ Emissions Day).

And yes, I showed up in a fully sustainable ‘fit for the occasion, with the shoe of the day being a pair of VIVAIA boots — made from recycled plastic water bottles — because the outfit always understands the assignment.

Come for the fashion, stay for the tech, and leave feeling smarter (and oddly optimistic) about where the industry is headed.

This week on Dinner for Shoes, I’m taking you with me to finally get the running tattoo I’ve been thinking about for years. We’re at Uplift, my go-to tattoo studio in NYC, chatting, laughing, and talking through the meaning behind the piece while it’s actually happening.

I interview my tattoo artist Julia mid-session, covering everything from personal style to self-expression, identity, and why tattoos can be such emotional markers in our lives. After the tattoo is done, I break down how my outfit ties into the moment, as always.

To wrap things up, I go through all of my tattoos, count them, and share the stories behind each one — when I got them, why they mattered at the time, and how they reflect different chapters of my life.

If you’ve ever thought about getting a tattoo, love hearing the stories behind people’s ink, or just want a real, relaxed conversation about style and identity, this episode is for you.

Everyone around me seems to have a smooth forehead — but does that mean I should too?

Welcome back to Shoe Therapy, a Dinner for Shoes podcast miniseries that consists of real talk in really good shoes. In this episode, host Sarah Wasilak asks the question so many of us are quietly wrestling with: Is botox my kind of beauty? At 33, Sarah opens up about feeling the pressure to have a smooth forehead in a world (and algorithm) that seems to expect it. She shares her honest back-and-forth on booking — and delaying — her botox appointment, why self-expression feels like her truest form of beauty, and how timeless pieces, like her outfit and favorite jewelry, remind her that originality never goes out of style.

I’m back from the Las Vegas Formula 1 Grand Prix, and this Dinner for Shoes episode is all about the style and food that shaped the entire weekend. I’m walking through each day — the outfits I packed, events with LEGO and T-Mobile, a Strip Circuit track tour, the Disney x F1 hub, Peloton morning at The Wynn, “The Wizard of Oz” at the Sphere, and even stepping inside the Williams garage. I’m also sharing every memorable meal, from Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen and Carbone Riviera to the roasted potatoes from Wolfgang Puck that I can’t stop thinking about (and had to recreate for today’s “dinner”). If you’re curious what an F1 weekend really looks like through a fashion-and-food lens, here’s my full Vegas recap.

Welcome back to Shoe Therapy, a Dinner for Shoes podcast miniseries that focuses on real talk in really good shoes. In this episode, host Sarah Wasilak opens up about her evolving relationship with alcohol — why she’s cut back, what she’s learned, and how she’s replacing drinks with social weed gummies on nights out. Sarah shares her honest take on releasing shame around drinking because so many people quietly struggle with the same thing. Her outfit, which is always a nod to the topic at hand, incorporates pops of green to reflect her feeling lighter and clearer.
