At last, the New Year is upon us, my friends. I know what you’re thinking. Do we REALLY need another “goals for next year” post from you, Sami? Maybe not, but it helps guide me toward a freshly paved path. I am more than eager to extinguish the flame of this year’s past and begin […]
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 […]
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 […]
Dream a Little Jean of Me
I dare say, it’s been awhile. I recently made the big move to New York City, and while I love it so, I was quick to forget that uncontrollable schvitzing is a seemingly unavoidable symptom of summer in the concrete jungle. Nevertheless, I put on my big-girl pants (that is, my beloved bell-bottoms from Nasty Gal), and braved the […]
That ’70s Lookbook
With spring finally in full swing, I figured it was time to spruce up my virtually all-black wardrobe with a little more color. As stated in my previous post, I have recently been on a major ’70s kick. There is something really special about bringing back trends from decades’ past and adapting them to modern-day wear. […]
Timeless Retro
){kind=link}
Source As of late, I have been entranced by the spirit of the ’70s. Truth be told, I don’t foresee my obsession with the decade dissipating anytime soon. Musical lyrics spouting free love, peace, and “good vibes only” have given me (a chronic overthinker) a sense of what it’s like to take a step back, free myself of […]
