J Crew blazer + belt, UO shorts, F21 top, Zara boots, Express tights, clutch – gift from friend At a first glance, this outfit may seem slightly adventurous but once you see the demure, classic blazer and hints of lady-like lace all traces of possible edge seem to disappear. I first wore this outfit when […]
Zara sweater, F21 jeans, H&M belt, no-name necklace, Target hat, Marc Jacobs bag, Sorel boots I’m partaking in the White Denim Extravaganza hosted by Carrie of This Free Bird. Basically, the challenge was to demonstrate that white denim is just as wearable in winter months as it is during the summer. I’m a ‘white denim […]
BCBG skirt, Zara turtleneck, H&M belt, necklace from small LA boutique (?), UO shoes I don’t often post work outfits on here. Why? Well, they’re sort of boring, consist of a lot of black, and I do a lot of traveling so sometimes comfort takes precedent over anything else. I have my good days, but […]

It started innocently enough with temperatures in the upper-30s and then slyly moved into torrential downpours and full-blown blizzards; suffice to say, it was fun watching the city mildly freak out (myself included).

This weekend, I enjoyed a delicious meal at Stephanie Izard’s (Top Chef winner) resetaurant, The Girl and the Goat, tried on a couple more wedding gowns, and enjoyed spending time with friends. On Sunday, my actual birthday, […]
My favorite boots from last year are in dire need of a shining and/or buffing. I wore them tirelessly through a slushy winter and it apparently shows. I love these boots because they’re dead ringers for Loeffler Randall’s classic Matilde boots, which I wanted badly a couple years back; instead, I paid a fraction of […]
I headed back to the homeland to see my parents and sisters this past weekend. The best parts about going home (rather than the obvious company of loved ones) include: the abundance of food in the fridge, suburban malls, roads without traffic, and raiding my sister’s closet. We are similar in size and build and […]
