Working With What I Got (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My favorite season for dressing is here and I am feeling inspired, so much so that I feel ready to take on a challenge. The challenge: working with what I already have in my closet. I am doing this for a multitude of reasons. First, I need to start getting serious about saving money. Second, I need to start getting serious about saving space. Third, I need to start getting serious about not being inundated with stuff. Every time I flip my closet for the season, I come close to a meltdown over th
My First Ever NYFW Experience (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This September I attended my first NYFW. It is not a cheap or easy feat between the planning, travel costs, lodging, PTO from my 9-5, pitching myself, and putting myself out there, and I am here to tell you whether after all of that if it was all worth it to attend.

Back To School (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A new school year naturally means a refreshed wardrobe and back to school shopping made the return to school even more exciting. I spent all summer plotting my return, how I was going to unveil a new look which ultimately meant a new me. I watched countless YouTube “Back to School Shopping” hauls, “GRWM for the First Day of School”, “Makeup for 7th Grade”… This was my Met Gala. Then the best day of the year happened, I was given my BTS shopping budget and taken to the mall. Naturally, I spent it
