Bodycons, #TeacherBae + Dressing Your Body Type
Knowing what looks good on you is the first step in being stylish. Sure you can wear nice clothes, but if it doesn’t look great on you, what’s the point? When I look back at pictures of the younger me, I often ask myself “What was I thinking?!” because I used to dress according to […] Read More »
A Case for Crop Tops
I grew up in the era of TLC and Aaliyah, so crop tops and baggy jeans were pretty much my (and my generation’s) standard uniform. Plus, in high school I worked at Merry-Go-Round and Dr. Denim, two stores that catered to the TLC/Aaliyah crowd, so most of my wardrobe was sourced from there, and other […] Read More »

Beauty Review: Marc Jacobs Air Blush
Everyone has been so obsessed with highlighters that blushes have taken a back seat! I love a good glow on my cheeks, but a rosy flush is sometimes nice, too. When it comes to blush, I always prefer either a warm, peachy/coral color, or a cool, pale pink, which both look nice on my skin […] Read More »
Transitional Piece: the Strapless Flounced Top
Summer ’16 was the season of bare shoulders. It’s a trend that reappears every few years so if you have a few pieces you love, keep them! They’ll definitely be back in style again.

One thing I love about summer in NYC are the countless outdoor markets. There are markets galore; longstanding ones, and a ton of pop-ups here and there.
