Hi, friends! It’s been a minute since my last post, but absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? With summer flying by (HOW is it almost August already?!), I have dedicated my weekends to living in the present moment as much as possible, and that includes reducing my social media usage. Needless to say, I […]
Paper-Bag Pants
Coney Island
There is something about the summer air that really gets me going. While I could do without the pervasive New York humidity, the summer instills a hankering for exploration in me. With so much to see and do here, I make it a mission to frequently hit up the spots I’ve never before experienced. If […]
A Guide to Buying Vintage
As a newcomer to the vintage/thrift shopping scene, I’ve been thoroughly scouring the various treasure troves housing classic closet staples that have stood the test of time. With technology at the forefront of shopping these days, I want to divulge, with you all, my favorite online locales for finding outfit inspiration and purchasing vintage! Instagram Shops The increasing demand for visual […]
Adult Swim
At 23-years-old, I still act like a little kid when it comes to frolicking in the pool. To me, a pool is the second-best, summer cool-down cure, next to a frozen margarita. However, living in NYC, pools are few and far between. Unless you have a friend who is blessed enough to reside in a building […]
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 […]
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 […]
Baby, You Can Drive My Car
Whenever I read a fashion magazine, I get particularly jazzed about the editorial fashion photography. Each spread boasts its own unique theme, from the location and styling, all the way to down to the carefully chosen props used to enhance the visual narrative. Together, these elements hold a vast storytelling power that offers a glimpse into how images can, […]
New for the Summer
Hiya, babes! With June rapidly approaching, white is well on its way to becoming, once again, the HBIC of all summer colors. Despite this long-held fashion ideal, I remain fervent in my stance on wearing white year-round, because if you know how to rock a color from season to season, then why the hell not? I’m especially […]
Detoxing: Why It’s Good for the Soul
Detox–it’s a word that carries so much meaning and importance, although the definition varies for each of us. For example, while the recent weather in New York has been “three-days-of-70-degrees-followed-by-a-weekend-of-rain-and-low-50s” deplorable, I’ve gotta give it up to Mother Nature for this break in blogging. It’s allowed me to hit the “reset” button and refocus my time […]
’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 […]
