Inadequacy. The feeling that you are not enough, or not doing enough. The more it festers, the more your thoughts become shrouded in negativity, and your heart ends up on shaky ground. Even in the midst of all the good happening in your life, you can’t seem to look past that one small, insignificant thing […]
The Future Can Wait
The future — sometimes we fear it, like the monsters we were once convinced lived under our beds. Other times, we embrace it in full, with such an acute exhilaration for all we have to look forward to that we are forgetting one simple question: what about NOW? Since my high school days, I have […]
The Teddy Coat
The teddy coat — also known as the piece in your closet that will elicit excessive touching and petting from friends due to its stuffed animal-like softness. It is also one of my favorite coats of the season, as it hits the shelves in various styles and price points for all. From a chic, oversized […]
New York, My Dear
a city like none other, traveling faster than the speed of light skyscrapers welcoming her inhabitants with outstretched arms, beckoning opportunity at every corner. her streets are paved with the footprints of strivers, dreamers, believers who flourish among the perpetual sounds of taxis honking, builders constructing and subway tracks screeching. her neighborhoods churn with […]

Initially, I viewed my blog merely as a personal space to express my […]
Relaxed Mode
Once again, I have allowed myself to succumb to the ever-changing weather that has been plaguing us all these last few months. Now that the summer heat is acting with full force, I can’t help but be swept up in the hype of outdoor brunches, rooftop bar season and Summer Fridays. Of course, none of this can excuse my motivation […]
’90s Boho Minimalist
I must admit, it was a bit unnerving trying to put this outfit together. I love the slip dress-over-T-shirt trend, but I desperately wanted to put my own spin on it. For some reason, my closet was just not doing it for me one day, so I enlisted my sister’s help in styling the bottom half of […]
