Welcome to my site. I’m a New York-based fashion industry professional and aspiring eco-friendly human.

Ciao from fair Verona. My roommates and I spent the weekend exploring this romantic and beautiful little city, and I can say that none of us wanted to leave it! We visited Romeo and Juliet's house, castles, palaces, gardens, and hiked up to Il Belvedere! Check out a few photos I snapped from the weekend and a full Vlog down below!
Ciao! I've finally settled into my apartment and a routine here in Florence, and shortly after moving in, I took a day trip with about 20 other girls in FIT Florence to Siena and San Gimignano! We loaded up a bus at 9 am and spent about two hours in each city, wandering the streets, seeing piazzas and churches, and of course, eating lots of pizza and gelato! Here are some of my favorite pictures from each city!
Sorry for the lack of posts, over the last two weeks I've been packing up New York and flying across the pond for a semester abroad in Florence, Italy!! Even crazier, school dorms don't exist here, so we sent the first few days juggling orientation and apartment hunting! But that's finally settled, and I've found a beautiful little apartment with four other girls on the South side of the Arno river!
I have a ton of Style posts with great, sometimes over-the-top accessories (and if we're being real, my statement earring collection has no rival) but do I dress like this every single day? Unless I'm going to work, no. If it's a day of school, homework, errands, etc, you'll find me in pixie pants (let's be honest, they're thick leggings with a fancy name) a comfy shirt, and some fairly basic accessories. Though these do get mixed into my more flashy wardrobe, so I'm generally wearing them every day!
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 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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
