Flamingo

What goes best with bright pink bow-tie shorts? More pink. I spent several hours trying to pair these shorts with various colors, a grey tee, a white button down, a back tank, but they all ended up making me look twelve years old. So why fight the pink? Embrace it. Hence, I threw on a pink button down and pink tassel earrings and went all-out instead of toning it down!

Bar Primi

Bar Primi is a cute little Italian spot in the East Village with more pasta than you could ever eat and some pretty stellar cocktails (I can vouch for the frose and the frescante!) My friend Meghan and I had brunch here a few weeks ago, and sitting out on the patio with glasses of frose is what NYC summer is all about!

Makeup Bag Spill: What I'm Currently Using

It's been quite a while since I last dumped out my makeup bag to show you. Being a beauty blogger, I try out a ton of different products, but the daily routine usually stays more-or-less the same with the exception of a single-item swap here and there. I've finally gotten to a collection of products that I love, and work really well for me, so read on to find out what they are!

Pale Girl Beauty Struggles And Ways To Fix Them

Every pale girl has known the struggle of being told they need to "get a tan" or "go outside more", only to find that they'll burn instantly without wearing SPF 70. We're cleverly nicknamed "Casper", and flash photography commonly turns us into a version of Lord Voldemort with better lipstick and eyelashes. 

How I Whiten With Smile Brilliant

I have never been particularly confident about my smile until recently. In middle school, I went from a messed-up snaggle-tooth, to a full mouth of braces (with colored rubber bands, anyone else remember those?). When I finally got that metal out of my mouth, my teeth were never particularly bright-white. My budding, (and now full-fledged) coffee addiction didn't help out either, since things like coffee and red wine stain your teeth. Dang.

Midnight Unicorn

Whoever thought to cover a silk pajama top in unicorns and rabbits is a genius, because I'm obsessed with this shirt, and for a blazing hot day of running around Soho and brunching, a silk top is the best choice to beat the heat. 

My Secret To Perfect Skin

When I was in middle school and first beginning to live the horror of acne, I dreamed of the day I'd be in my twenties and never have to deal with another zit again. Boy, was I wrong. Unfortunately, acne does not magically go away once you leave your teens, but after trying product after product and seeing nothing change, I threw out everything and ordered the Glossier Phase 1 Set.

Red Hot Ruffle

Summer has finally arrived in NYC! We're finally hitting the upper 80's in temps, and sunny days are made for Central Park strolls and Mister Softee icecream! Another benefit of the warm days is getting to breakout these off the shoulder ruffle bodysuits! (I have both red and navy!) They're super comfortable and great for hot days!

Brooklyn Room Tour

I'm so happy that I've finally settled in to my first real apartment! After dorming for two years, I moved in with one of my best friends, Lulu, in a two-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn! It's been about a month, and as I type this we are currently watching Gilmore Girls in our living with wine and popcorn, so clearly it's amazing!!

5 Reasons To Make Blogger Friends

I'm so lucky that NYC is filled with tons of amazing bloggers, and I've met some amazing girls while blogging in New York! All of the girls I've met create amazing content and are such nice, genuine, and inspiring people!

My first blogger friends, Hillary and Tatum, I met at a blogging event in September 2016, and after MANY brunches, coffees, events, and exploding champagne bottles on Instagram Live, these blogging friends have become real-life friends! Even better, my blogging circle keeps growing by meeting and getting to know new girls!

Jumpsuit

I'm back! These past few weeks have been absolutely insane with final exams and moving from the west side of Manhattan down to Brooklyn! But I'm all moved in now, (small room tour pics coming soon!) and ready to start summer!! 

This outfit shoot could not have been more perfect since it was at the DUMBO color wall in Brooklyn, and since I'm obsessed with wearing this jumpsuit right now. It's perfect for that in-between time when it's not yet super warm, but warm enough that you don't need a jacket! 

Liberty Floral

Spring is finally here!! Last Saturday I spent the day browsing vintage shops and brunching with two of my favorite blogger friends Hillary and Tatum! It was such a beautiful day, and I finally got to wear shorts and a Tshirt! (bye bye jackets and jeans!)

Speaking of shorts, J.Crew just came out with this pair in Liberty Floral, plus solid pink and white! And as if that wasn't fun enough, pairing this fun print with a classic stripe is a match made in heaven! I can't take credit for the duo though, it's straight outta the J.Crew Style Guide (aka my bible)
