Summer is hands down my favorite season in the year. And when it comes to revamping my wardrobe for the warmer months, it doesn’t need to cost an arm and a leg to do so. After all, hopefully you’ll be spending 90% of your days in a wet swimsuit and hair tossed up in a topknot. For summer style, I prefer to keep my style pretty minimal with an easy one piece, white button up shirt as a cover up and a few accessories. Below you will find my favorite picks that are each below $100 that will add a bit of refresh to your wardrobe this summer. Here is my white swimsuit cover up (in the above ph ..read more

This outfit feels very much like “me.” I’m in New York (in the photo), wearing all black at a stylish bar feeling comfortable, yet stylish and very much in my own skin. I think the key elements to what I like to wear out include something a bit naughty as a base layer, along with a few layers on top that vary in texture and fabric. This adds depth, interest, and comfortability. With very little to no make-up, minimal jewelry and easy to wear pieces, I think it’s important to feel comfortable yet stylish when you’re bouncing out and about at night. Below are a few more key favorites for after h ..read more

As I sat down today to preschedule blog posts for my big trip to Japan this week, a wave of anxiety overcame me. I love my job. I’ve been blogging for 13 years but over time it has increasingly become more and more daunting. About 6 years ago I redesigned my website (for the third or so time ever) which cost me a pretty penny. At the time, blogs were taking a much more editorial feel so I designed mine to mirror the trend of having it read more like an online magazine and less like a personal diary. Over the past decade, blogs have taken so many different shapes. Year to year the trends will s ..read more

I couldn’t be more excited to share that I am taking a big bucket list trip to Japan in April with my friends. It’s something I’ve been dreaming of for years and because it’s a place I’ve never been to, I took a poll on social media asking for recommendations.
