Either it’s me or the year is flying by. Another day passes, and the more anxiety I feel just reading current events! This week, I styled a shirt from Rockridge, a local brand that designs and produces a small, high-quality line right here in the Bay. These Rockridge shirts are a heavier oxford knit with a long form. For a shorty like me (5’7), they are perfect to wear untucked for a more street-friendly look. I especially love the orange accents.

Not only does Rockridge do business here, they also donate a portion of their profits straight to teachers in Oakland Public Schools every month. I can tell you firsthand growing up in a federally-controlled Oakland school system, teachers need all they can get. Some of my best teachers went out of their way and spent their own time and money just to make sure their students got a somewhat decent education. Especially true in such uncertain times, public schools around the nation need their communities to rally behind them.

This year, I plan to highlight as many brands and causes that I feel are doing things right and making an impact. If any companies are on your radar, please give em a shout!

Thanks for reading!

    David! Love that you appreciate and support teachers from Oakland. Despite living in alameda, I opted to attend my school years in Oakland. I have the deepest respect for my teachers and also believe they’re some of the best out there :) woo go Oakland!
