I’ve never been one to embrace uniform dressing, although I admire those who do, like Anna Wintour. While I appreciate the ease of it, I like my wardrobe to have a little more variety. Almost as easy as a go-to uniform (but far more fun) […]

While I’ve finally been able to add some investment staples into my day-to-day wardrobe, I’ve noticed that recently, my coworkers, friends, and sometimes strangers on the subway have been interested in some of the more affordable pieces I’ve been sporting. In fact, they’re often shocked when I let them know […]

“The newest trend in underwear is definitely the high-cut French brief.” Boom. You heard it here first courtesy of former Journelle Head of Product Development Sandra Rose, aka the woman in charge of knowing what’s new and next in the underwear space. There are a couple of reasons […]

I have placed exactly 62 orders on Amazon in the past six months. Most of my orders are made up of books (yes, the old-school paper kind!). I also purchased tons of baby gear (new moms, Amazon Prime becomes your trusty best friend), a sprinkling of beauty essentials (I’m […]

Happy Wednesday! It’s time for our weekly installment of new arrivals. In case you’re unfamiliar, every week, I search high and low to find the best designer and fast-fashion pieces—all of which just hit stores—so that you can be the first of your friends to […]

It’s sad to admit, but I truly neglected my underwear collection all 2021. With loungewear firmly dominating last year, all of my fancy dresses and pants were sort of shoved to the back of the closet, and intricate lingerie didn’t feel like much of a priority. […]

If shopping is an art, you could certainly call me Picasso. My specialty? Sourcing luxurious-looking finds that in reality, cost way less than you’d even guess. And when it comes to sifting through pieces that look expensive, it’s all about the minutia—aka the “little” things like hardware, […]
