Back In New York

14 Jan 2015

After a weekend getaway, it’s always nice to come back to the city I love. Coming back to freezing cold temps? Not so much. After braving so many winters and threatening to break up with New York, I drop my flag and surrender. Layering is a fun game only when snow boots and turtlenecks aren’t the only option. The problem I see is that we have no choice but to dress weather appropriately. And that’s what sucks. The lack of power. And it’s only mid-January. Of course, if you are dressing simply in all black and grey, you master the basics and fit right in to the landscape. Keeping it tonal, keeping it real. But by no means basic. Therefore there is no reason to relocate. You just... Read More

Closet Cleanse

09 Jan 2015

I am not going to lie. It is f*cking freezing and the weekend doesn’t look any better. Since the weather will not cooperate, talk of near-numbing temps around the globe swarm the internet, I hereby state a public service announcement that you: 1. Clean your closet. It’s literally so refreshing to come home to an edited closet. Yes, I do house calls. Visit my new store at Tictail.com where I am selling my stuff. Wearing: Maison Kitsune sweater / MiH jeans This flowchart will help you make quick decisions. 2. Order new coats currently on sale at luxury e-tailer MatchesFashion, Bloomingdale’s, and last year’s coats at a steep discount, i.e.: The Outnet. These are my top 15 picks. Here’s the end result. Report back on Monday and let me know... Read More

Winter Cocoon

07 Jan 2015

Here we are the first week of 2015, and I’m back in the swing of things. Trying to keep my resolutions in tact. So far I am four for five. Not bad. This arctic blast in the weather department has me freezing my butt off, so all I am concerned about right this very minute is the here and now which is keeping warm. For starters, I am wearing turtlenecks, tucking my hair underneath. This coat is so comfy and warm I feel like a teddy bear. And the high-waisted mom jeans? There is no room to sneak any air on my body. It’s a win-win. Single digits combined with a wind chill is hard to handle, so layering is a must. I can’t help but think... Read More

New Year, Nothing New

05 Jan 2015

I have an addiction, and I would like to curb it, or at least tone it down a bit. It might sound familiar to some of you. It’s called shopping. As fashions change, so does my style. I get bored very easily and frankly once I post my look up on my blog and instagram, and wear those _____ more than ten times, it is rendered obsolete. To best explain where I am coming from see above photo. It’s new, fresh, and I want everything in it. Welcome to 2015. Have you made your resolution yet? Have you broken it yet? Every year, I make a resolution — but most of these high falutin goals won’t make it through the end of January. So, if you’re... Read More

Let’s Raise a Glass

01 Jan 2015

Photo: courtesy of Honestly WTF You have heard this before but today is the day to read it again. A new year is like a blank book. It is your chance to fill the pages with a beautiful story for yourself. The past years are just chapters in your life and chapters close but only in anticipation of new ones being written. Before we go forward though, we should take a minute or two and reflect on what was the past 365 days. I call this an important step to bury to hatchet of what didn’t work, tie up the loose ends that did, and look at the photo album that was 2014. I believe that self-improvement and growth is something that should be on... Read More

How To Ring It In In Style

29 Dec 2014

This Wednesday, the clock will strike midnight and the year will wind down and we will all utter the words: “Where did the time go?’ Another year will have passed giving us all opportunity to reflect and become anew if we so choose. And as the temperatures drop, its time to reflect and look back at the year that is 2014 and ring in the new fresh-faced 2015 looking and feeling our best, ready to put our best foot forward as we head into the new year. I know for me, I have been running out of fresh outfit ideas as I stare at my closet with a blank stare. I have a New Year’s soiree to attend. I have a party Saturday night. I... Read More

On the Run

17 Dec 2014

During this hectic time of year, my feet are the last appendage that I think about. Our legs and feet take us everywhere: in cabs, on the train, running from Point A to Point B. Now is the time to treat them right. Borrowed from the Swedes, I’m taking activewear out in public. Running around the city all day is a killer on the feet, and wearing sneakers have now become an acceptable habit. I am now officially one of those moms who has succumbed to black pants and a pair of Nike Free sneakers for the school run. The A.P.C./ Nike collaboration is super chic. Instead of the standard LuluLemon leggings, I sported a pair of pleather leggings and oversized maxi sweater to complete this look. Wearing: Asos beanie / Ray-Ban sunglasses /... Read More
