“You are not required to set yourself on fire to keep others warm.” We all know that girl. She’s bubbly, happy and doing it all with a smile on her face. When spoken about, people leave you with “isn’t she the greatest!?” [Cue eye roll]. Being the “light” aka the superhuman, conquor-the-world, kind of person isn’t easy. But how do some people figure out how to do it? It can’t be impossible. I think a part of all of us wants to become the light instead of sitting in the tunnel… or to at least get a piece of it.…
I’m on the radio and I almost can’t believe it! When my high school friend, Danielle Costa, approached me about being on her radio show I was in shock. Some of the thoughts that went through my mind were: Who me? To talk about fashion? Really? Ha, no way! and also, Wow! Girl is killing it!! I was so happy for her! What a huge accomplishment. Moments like these make me realize how far I’ve come as a blogger. I’ve learned so much along the way, made so many new friends and have created professional relationships with people I grew…
No matter how much I eat… my shoes still fit! I’m pleading to you. PLEASE retire your dirty old white sneakers and those moccasin slippers that really shouldn’t be worn outside the house. [side note: I’m guilty too] Why commuter shoes? I’m focusing on the commuter shoe because if I can wear it all day into and out of the city then it’s solid shoe for any day of your life! Since I started working in New York City about a year and a half ago, my wardrobe has gone through a major shoe transformation. It’s hard to not want…
You were wild once, don’t let them tame you. It’s funny the way fashion can make you feel. And this look made me feel powerful. The rich velvet navy blue, the statement necklace and slingback flats/ metallic booties gave this look such attitude and confidence. But that’s the thing about fashion, it can make you look like you are confident and strong but maybe you’re not. So, today I wanted to talk about finding your strength. When you feel weak and defeated, where do you look for your strength to get by? How you can find your strength: Know where…
The Westchester, a Simon Mall, has always been my one stop shop. It also holds a special place in my life. Growing up in Westchester it was one of the first places my friends and I were allowed to roam free, unchaperoned, for a few hours. It’s also where, at thirteen years old, I purchased my first Coach bag, all on my own. It’s where I found inspiration to style outfits for work. I realize it’s just a place, so don’t think I’m some vain, trivial, brat because I’m not. I mean I also used to hang out at train…
After NYFW I’m feeling energized and inspired. Between the shows and the street style there is no lack of outfit inspiration. So with all this new found style knowledge I’ve gained over the past few weeks, I wanted to share it with you! And not that I need an excuse to go shopping, but shopping for Fall items is my favorite part of living in New York. As much as I dislike the cold February to April stretch, I love the seasonal transitions. Between the seasons and trends the overload of new merchandise out there can seem a bit overwhelming.…
