It has already begun to feel like Groundhog Day under quarantine and that’s probably because I keep wearing the same few outfits. I thought maybe I should rotate some new sweaters into the mix but no one is seeing me so I usually don’t bother. I might pull out some dresses later if this lasts […]
In quarantine it feels like there’s not much to do except eat and shop. I have yet to start my closet clean out and organizing projects but they might have to wait until I see what’s new on sale. If you need a little pick me up, perhaps some more pots and pans, or even […]

Although it’s freezing in New York today, I’m dreaming of spring. Since I work for myself, I don’t have to dress up every day so jeans are a staple for my day to day wardrobe. When it’s still chilly, I pair them with a cashmere sweater, wool coat, and sneakers. When it warms up a […]
This is one of my favorite photos I’ve taken in Paris because it shows how you can wear sneakers with different outfits and at different ages and still look chic. When I first moved to New York, sneakers were not a thing you wore outside of the gym. It was all about freezing in bare […]
