A Toast to Lunch

I brown-bag my lunch to work every day; in the land of $10 salads, its the most economical option. However, my daily tuna sandwiches have begun to taste like refrigerator—you know, that cold, one-dim...

New Space

Ive been MIA, but not without a fairly good excuse: Ive moved on short notice from a dark first-floor apartment to a little studio above Manhattan. The view is nice and all (also qualifies as fantast...

From Madrid to Manhattan

Im back!And I have news. Its not the groundbreaking kind, dont worry. Its more of the I-didnt-buy-any-clothes-while- I-was-in-Spain kind, the not-even-from-Zara variety. I know. Ill give you a moment ...

Adios! (Para La Semana)

Ill be taking next week off from posting so that I can romp around Spain and drink good red wine in little street-side cafés. Au revoir! (They understand French in Spain, right? Because thats what re...

Vintage Finds

Years ago, when we were children, my parents would lock me and my siblings in the car while they went antiquing. It seems cruel now, but we brought it upon ourselves by wreaking havoc in many an Orie...

Style Set to Jet

Usually, Im a lazy traveler. I sit around and think about what Id like to eat (mostly anything of the cheese variety) and drink (mostly anything of the red wine variety). I did a complete reversal th...

Madrid in the Springtime

Ive been researching Madrid and Barcelona for the past few days in preparation for my trip (next week!), and I have something to admit: Im scared. Does it make me a huge baby to be frightened by beau...

Kicking It with Marc by Marc

I missed the Isabel Marant sneaker-wedge boat (below, left). Thats okay. Why? Because these Marc by Marc Jacobs kicks (right, $320; marcjacobs.com) are fresh out of the oven (circa today) and havent ...

Painting the Blues

Within the next few months, Im moving into an apartment that Ill likely be in for a good number of years. Do you know what this means? PAINT. PAINT. PAINTING. COLORS. Ill no longer rely on curtains a...

Style Set for Spring

This cool, cloudy, and hovering-in-the-50s weather isnt exactly my ideal, but heres the perk: its perfect for wearing a leather jacket. I have a cropped, black leather jacket that I adore, but Chicag...

Addicted to Adler

The other weekend, I decided to take break from HGTV (Property Virgins, anyone?) and switched the channel to E!. I never watch E! besides the occasional Sex & the City rerun, and Sex & the Ci...

Sandal Season

Now that the weather is cooperating and Im considering a badly-needed pedicure, a new pair of sandals are in order. I tore last years pair to shreds, so Im looking for something a little less wimpy t...

The Signature Look

Im a huge fan of Garance Doré; I think shes witty, personable, and unbelievably charming. Id like to make her my best friend at some point. One can usually spot her signature topknot hairstyle, and w...

Good Morning Mug

I love mornings. My undying love for breakfast food notwithstanding, my parents trained us to wake up at the crack of dawn to get a head-start on the weekends. To this day, sleeping past 9 AM causes ...

Keeping in Touch

I took the leap and bought an iPhone. Im still barely over my Razr, so this was obviously not an easy transition. I set it on my desk (carefully) and stared at it for an hour, too nervous to touch it...

Style Icon

The other day, I was chatting with my boss about how shes influenced my personal style. So far, shes inadvertently shamed me out of wearing denim leggings (but theyre Madewell! Almost real jeans!) an...

Looking Forward

Ive been on a hiatus lately. Oh, did I say hiatus? I mean Fashion Week happened. In other news, I booked a spring trip to Madrid with two of my very best college friends. One lives in Chicago, a...

Got Gucci?

Last week, I was sprinting down Fifth Ave and came to a sliding stop right in front of the Gucci store. I usually dont pay attention to the ready-to-wear collections of in-my-dreams labels like that ...

Come to Light

This week, I read a semi-helpful article in the NY Times about how to create natural light in an apartment where there is, well, none. Semi-helpful because a) I already do everything it advised, and ...

In the Bag

I love a good leather purse, and the trapeze tote is all the rage right now. Im kind of an extremist when it comes to bags: I like either tiny ones that you dont notice while youre dancing (small cro...

Lacquer Up

One of my bosses went to a get-together at her daughters classmates apartment. This wasnt just any apartment—it was a sprawling, 5000+ square foot expanse (in New York City) (IN NEW YORK CITY) on Par...

Happy Chinese New Year!

Sheer Genius

I love a good pair of opaque tights—Wolford is my brand of choice, and though their tights are pricey, theyre built like tanks and will hold up through an apocalypse. But arent Clémence Poésys sheer ...

Pants on Fire

I received a pair of red J. Brand jeans for Christmas, waxed to look like leather (thanks, mom!). At first, I was perplexed. Then I got to work brainstorming.VOILA.Colored, leather-waxed pants (J Bra...

Blue Morning

I love how New York City is cast in shades of navy in the early morning when I wake up and walk to the gym. I always imagine the city as a gritty steel color in my mind, but when its 6 AM and the lig...

Midwinter Style

Chilly weather can be the fast-track to a fashion rut. Cozy boots, long coats and dark colors galore define winter style, but lately, they seem like external manifestations of severe seasonal affecti...

A New Year
