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 […]
Rad in Ruffles
You guys, I CANNOT believe we are halfway through the year already. Moreover, I can’t believe it’s almost July, and this is my first outfit post of 2018 where I’m breaking out the shorts. Happy freaking Summer, pals! I think this is one of my favorite outfits I’ve put together in awhile. For someone who […]
Orange Crush
Lately, it feels as though I’ve been placing the blog on multiple hiatuses. For those of you who follow along, my sincerest apologies. I can solely blame it on the good ‘ol writer’s block, AS USUAL, or I can partially chalk it up to a chronic case of laziness (step one is admitting you have […]
Turning Over a New Leaf
Like most, if not all New Yorkers, I have reached my peak of frustration with this “spring’s” weather. 40 degrees in mid-April? What gives, man?! I’m not here to bitch about Mother Nature’s wrath, though. Despite this unfortunate mood swing of hers, I am not going to let it bleed into my upcoming spring plans; […]

It’s about leaving the realities of the outside world behind for a hot second and escaping into your creative cave, […]
For the Love of Vintage
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. One of the particular items I’ve been having trouble with, though, is the blazer. The […]
Welcome to the Jungle
From skirts to animal prints, I’ve been slowly, but surely, breaking out of my sartorial shell. Red has replaced black (GASP!) as my new favorite color, and I am willing to take more risks with my personal style than ever before. In a way, I attribute this change to the lovely people in my life […]
’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! It was my second time attending NYFW, and while it is fun and exhilarating, it can definitely take a physical and mental toll. Having learned my […]
