When we thought about what a new version of<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> P.S. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">should be, we knew we wanted to dig deeper and tell stories you don\u2019t always hear, all from thought-provoking plus size women. Consider this a place to read unexpected points of view on wellness, relationships, food, cooking and more. And of course, plenty of fashion.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I wrote this letter while on vacation in Vermont last week, in the most beautiful house, and on my long, slow walks I could feel a shift in the air. In the Northeast, we\u2019re starting to say goodbye to summer. As much as nature\u2019s continuing at its own cadence, not all parts of life feel like they\u2019re ready to turn the page with the change of the season. That may be exactly why there\u2019s never been a better time for new beginnings. My friends and I keep asking ourselves: How can we take this moment to consciously turn a leaf?&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why this issue is dedicated to the theme of \u201cNew Beginnings.\u201d I\u2019m thrilled to have some new contributors on board to muse on this very topic. Writer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/uncategorized\/an-ode-to-no\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laura Delarato<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tells us how quarantine in New York City helped her say \u201cno\u201d more often. Poet <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/uncategorized\/pregnant-plus-a-pandemic\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Priyanka Saju<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shares the unexpected twists and turns of her fertility journey in the first of her 4-part series on being pregnant in a pandemic.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also have plenty of fall fashion, including a story on reinventing your look through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/uncategorized\/whats-your-print-personality\/\">power of prints<\/a> and our latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/uncategorized\/fila-behind-the-scenes\/\">FILA capsule<\/a>. You\u2019re going to love the street-style-inspired collection\u2014we take you behind the scenes of the collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Style is a powerful tool in shaping our life experiences and the clothes we wear can mark times when we embark on new beginnings. I\u2019m so glad you\u2019re on this journey with us.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In life and in style,<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nadia<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Issue One, New Beginnings<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"class_list":["post-19551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-know"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Letter From the Editor - Dia &amp; Co<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Dia&amp;Co founder Nadia Boujarwah introduces the revamp of Dia&amp;Co blog P.S. with stories from writer Laura Delarato and poet Priyanka Saju.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/know\/letter-from-the-editor\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Letter From the Editor - Dia &amp; Co\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Dia&amp;Co founder Nadia Boujarwah introduces the revamp of Dia&amp;Co blog P.S. with stories from writer Laura Delarato and poet Priyanka Saju.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/know\/letter-from-the-editor\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Dia &amp; Co\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/diaandco\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-09-18T18:47:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-06-22T14:16:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/laptop-from-above_2400x1524.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1524\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Nadia Boujarwah\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@diaandco\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@diaandco\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Nadia Boujarwah\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/know\/letter-from-the-editor\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/know\/letter-from-the-editor\/\",\"name\":\"Letter From the Editor - Dia &amp; Co\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-09-18T18:47:23+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-06-22T14:16:06+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/bcb0a26aa50210f762634ecb5de696e0\"},\"description\":\"Dia&Co founder Nadia Boujarwah introduces the revamp of Dia&Co blog P.S. with stories from writer Laura Delarato and poet Priyanka Saju.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/know\/letter-from-the-editor\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/know\/letter-from-the-editor\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/know\/letter-from-the-editor\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Letter From the Editor\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/\",\"name\":\"Dia &amp; Co\",\"description\":\"Dia &amp; Co is the premier personal styling service for plus-size women.
