When you think “warmth”, your mind immediately jumps to sweatpants and faux fur jackets, the sound of your fireplace crackling and countless hours spent hiding under the covers until late April. Sounds pretty nice right about now, doesn’t it? More importantly than that, we should strive to derive warmth from within. The kind of warmth […]
Seeking Warmth
Power Suit
The older I get, the more I appreciate fashion as a therapy of sorts. This does not refer to the copious hours spent in bed online shopping, haha; instead, I am pointing to the clothes that empower and motivate me to be the best that I can be. In a city like New York, the […]
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 […]

Blogging has done wonders for my realm of shopping possibilities. I’ve acquired numerous tips and tricks from fellow influencers on how to get the best bang for your buck, while maintaining originality and staying true to your own personal style.

They Say It’s Spring
It’s official, loves: spring has sprung. As my old soul sways to the joyous tune of “They Say It’s Spring” by Blossom Dearie, I can’t help but feel light and chipper.

Happy Spring, everyone! Despite the minimal change in weather, I’m trying to convince myself that if I start dressing for the season, warmth is slated to arrive sooner.
