if you think about it, our live are essentially books. there’s the cover, a canvas of our own creation, painting portraits of our lives, as we’d like them to be observed by those around us. then there are the pages, chapters spilling our every wish, every desire, every mistake ever made. once written, they are […]
We, Like Books
Dear Fall
Dear Fall, It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance once again. Although I anticipate your time here will be depressingly fleeting, I want you to know how my spirit transforms when you’re around. Wonderful changes are on the horizon. The foliage turns vibrant in color and mood. The sticky, humid air becomes cool and crisp, […]
’80s Love Child
Now, for part two of my NYFW outfits, I present to you a look that unabashedly embodies “Grandma trying to make ~cool~ happen”. That is, if Grandma rummaged through her millennial granddaughter’s wardrobe and gave leather skirts a twirl because she wanted to feel young and hip again. If you continue to scroll down, you […]
NYFW Spring 2018: Look 1
With the craziness of New York Fashion Week behind me, I can now resume the blog’s regularly scheduled programming. Boy, do I have a lot to catch up on!

As I approach my first year of living in NYC (stay tuned for a post on my experiences here later this week), I am looking back on how my blogging journey has evolved and transformed over the past 365 days. Prior to my big move, I didn’t think my blog would amount to anything more […]
The Backup Plan
Some of life’s best-laid plans are the ones we don’t plan at all. My best days have involved deviating from my original itinerary and doing something completely spontaneous. With a city as vast and exhilarating as New York, it’s easy to go through the motions of scheduling your whole life out in advance just so […]
Paper-Bag Pants
Hi, friends! It’s been a minute since my last post, but absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? With summer flying by (HOW is it almost August already?!), I have dedicated my weekends to living in the present moment as much as possible, and that includes reducing my social media usage. Needless to say, I […]
Coney Island
There is something about the summer air that really gets me going. While I could do without the pervasive New York humidity, the summer instills a hankering for exploration in me. With so much to see and do here, I make it a mission to frequently hit up the spots I’ve never before experienced. If […]
