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 […]
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; […]
Blogging: A Year of Reflection
As I near the completion of my first year living in New York City—an experience I’ll delve into more in a forthcoming post—I’m taking a moment to reflect on the remarkable growth and transformation of my blogging journey over the past year. Initially, I viewed my blog merely as a personal space to express my […]
Paper-Bag Pants
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 […]
If You Love Your City, It Will Love You Back
If at some point in time you find yourself living in the heart of a metropolitan city, I strongly urge you to take full advantage of its surroundings. I’m coming up on eight months in NYC, and I find myself constantly crawling with the exploration bug. The novelty of seeking out the city’s unconventional spots and […]
Peekaboo Denim
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. Much to my dismay, this isn’t how the game is played. Anyway, let’s talk denim, shall we? If I thought my love of flared jeans was great enough already, it REALLY […]
When Girly Met Edgy
Although pink fails to achieve “Outstanding Member” status in my preferred color palette, it does not mean I dislike wearing the color. In fact, my drawers used to be filled to the brim with bright colors, with pink being the most dominant. Alas, as we evolve, our sense of style tends to do the same. I purchased this […]
Blush Crush
In the spirit of full disclosure, I must admit that I am not responsible for the formation of this outfit. You could say I was in a bit of a style slump on this particularly day. On the bright side, it truly pays to have a sister who doubles as your roommate and personal stylist, especially when you find yourself staring […]
Sheen Queen
My apologies for the extended disappearing act, loves. If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a blogger, it’s that it’s COMPLETELY normal and acceptable for life to get in the way once in a blue moon. We’re only human, after all. Take care of yourself and enjoy living in the moment. As you could imagine, it was a wee bit […]
