I tend to have an obsessive attraction to certain clothing items. If a particular item is comfortable, affordable AND available in multiple colors, it’s a bonafide hit for my closet. This summer, we have a new winner: the drawstring pant. It al started with this straw-colored pair from Maje, which were on sale earlier this […]
Weekend
Just Black & White
I’ve been talking a lot about the benefits of summer minimalism. (I talked about it LAST summer, too.) I think this outfit may be my favorite version of this pragmatism. It’s feminine and fashionable without sacrificing any comfort or practicality in this sweltering heat. First, let’s talk about the pieces’ origin stories: The silk tank […]
The Summer Minimalist
This post celebrates my favorite part of summer clothes: the minimalist dress. To go along with that minimal theme, I’ll be keeping the over-thinking to a minimum for this post. (Just kidding — you guys know I can’t stop talking.) This dress is probably my favorite design from the brand Meg. (Here is another dress I […]
The Sun & Stars in One Outfit
I take a fair bit of style inspiration from the art world. I have a tattoo on my left arm that’s inspired by the Lunar Alphabet on display at the MoMA. I know the connection between Yves Saint Laurent and Piet Mondrian. I am constantly on the hunt for shoes the perfect shade of green from […]
Gray Skies, Blue Clothes
I tend to over-think almost everything (from what movie I’m going to watch on Netflix to what I wish I had studied in undergraduate school). My shopping decisions are no different, and I imbue my wardrobe with a lot of meaning — maybe TOO much. That said, this recent outfit was a bit of an accident, […]

How to Pack for a Weekend Getaway
Lately, I’ve been spending weekends in New Jersey to visit my in-laws and bask in the opiate-like atmosphere of the suburbs. I always take the ferry to Jerz, which is basically an aquatic version of an over-crowded jitney. I dread toting a tote bag onboard, since I usually wind up having to jam up next […]

A Summer Sweater Dress
Meteorologically speaking, it’s been a wacky spring/summer so far. One day it’s humid and raining; the next, it’s sunny and freezing. It can be difficult to dress for such disparate situations, but I’ve discovered one outfit that was able to bridge these extremes. Enter this Zara sweater dress. Because the dress is knitted, it’s cozy for cooler […]
Have You Discovered Meg’s Dresses Yet?
During one of my recent sojourns to Williamsburg, I discovered a fantastic new boutique called Meg. The boutique’s specialty? Its dresses, which are strikingly well-cut. The dresses don’t have a ton of hanger appeal — because they are cut so simply, they seem to hang like sacks. But it’s a game-changrs once you slip one on. Lately, Breton stripes […]
A Salue to the Sun
There’s a special kind of decadence in a 3-day weekend. I split my time between the city and New Jersey, yet never felt rushed Most of my meals were ice cream or BBQ and every day was filled with long, lazy walks. I love summer for its uncomplicated rhythm, and my outfits are just an extension […]
Woman of the Cloth
Once April hits, I spend 6–12 hours every weekend walking around the city. I’ve been averaging 17,000 steps per day — trust me, this is a HUGE accomplishment after a long winter of 3,000 step days! When I know I’m moving around for hours at a time, I plan my outfit carefully: No coats (they don’t […]
