As Sweet Blog of Mine comes up on three years, I can’t help but be proud of myself for continuing to take risks with my sartorial choices. From experimenting with color, to dabbling in various textures and silhouettes, I am finally evolving into the person I want to be — from a stylistic standpoint, of […]
Falling for Fall
I find that the genesis of a new season ushers in a clean slate on multiple fronts – especially fall. Just as the leaves change color and split from the trees, we shed the parts of ourselves that have grown stagnant, relinquish the fears that once held us back, and part ways with relationships that […]
You vs. Time
Two hands, twelve numbers. Ticks and tocks, more commonly known as the haunting rhythmic reminder of the brevity of life. How can an inanimate object and an abstract concept dictate the way we go about our days? Why do we make ‘time’ the scapegoat for our unfulfilled dreams? We spend so much ‘time’ worrying about […]
We, Like Books
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 […]
Into the Woods
When Jacob informed me that we’d be heading to Weston, Connecticut for Memorial Day, I couldn’t wait; the trip was a short, albeit necessary reprieve from the commotion of city life (which I love, of course). The absolute antithesis of New York City, Weston is a small town in Fairfield County, CT, that screams of serenity and tranquility. The […]
Springing Back to the ’70s (Again)
When life hands you a wind tunnel, make it your bitch…for real. Shooting photos isn’t all fun and games when weather conditions pertinent to a concrete jungle refuse to GTFO, but why let that stop you? Work with it and I swear, the wind will do your bidding, even when your gut and freezing body are […]
Das Boot
Expectations. Why on EARTH do we have them, especially when they fail us nine times out of 10 and leave us with nothing but a severe case of disillusionment with life and a pair of blue balls? Before your mind turns morbid, I am actually talking about the weather. It only took a week or two […]
Red Velvet Delight
Ah, holiday season – a time when nothing but Christmas music plays over the airwaves, families and friends join together, and “it’s lit” becomes the most overused millennial phrase of the year. It is also a time to bust out every velvet piece you own and SLEIGH all winter long. Yup. Bad pun. Don’t care. I truly can’t account […]
When Nature Calls
With autumn escaping our grasp far too soon, I felt it was only fitting to close out the season with a bang. That is, I decided to fully become one with nature. Our favorite Harvard Law student once fervently suggested that anyone who says orange is the new pink is seriously disturbed. While I’d normally agree with that […]
Witchy Woman
It goes without saying that Zara has turned into an emporium of everlasting, sartorial bliss. If you haven’t had time to check out their website or step into the store in the last several eons, do it. However, I highly encourage you to proceed with caution. Inside every girl is a shopaholic just waiting to claw its […]
