I love this city, I hate it sometimes, too. In an effort to keep track of my feelings about the Big Apple during my time here I try my best to chronicle them in a letter to this crazy place. Welcome to Dear New York–a series posted monthly on the anniversary of the date I moved here.  Exclusively datin' the city Hi. My whole life I feel like I’ve been waiting on being here with you. The last four years, especially. And now I’m here. I don’t know if you noticed but I redid the blog. Just for you. I didn’t feel like the website served me anymore. Or gave insight into my growth as a person. I’ve always been a personal style blogger with an emphasis on the person.
Wearing a maxi skirt with a crop top I know everyone thinks this of their friends, but… Mine are really some kind of amazing. Two Fridays ago, Yasmein took me on a walking tour of Grand Central Station and the surrounding areas because she knows I’m a history geek who would eat something like that up. Except, so did she.

I did the unthinkable the other day after too much champagne. I mean, I knew it was coming. The first time I saw her, I just knew. Add in the bubbles and I was a goner. I felt like I had dreamed about this moment long before my...

You guise. I'm an "adult" now. I put that in quotes because I don't feel like one. I mean, of course there are days when work feels like work, I want my mother's cooking, or for us to get our hair done together. Heck, I just wish she lived here. But technically, I am an adult. I pay rent on time.

If we're being truthful, and we are, I haven't really been as on it as I used to be pre-New York when it comes to my nails. I could give you a whole bunch of excuses but I won't. I remember when I complained in front...

You guys are probably on to me by now. First there was OPI's We'll Always Have Paris. I wore that basically for a whole month. Then there was Essie Skirting The Issue. Still love it. And now? Chanel's Provocation. She's beeeautiful.   It's obvious now that I have a bit of a problem....

I was all over the place last week. I was always tired buut I did unpack and do laundry. This video was supposed to be up on Thursday but, eh, I was all over the place. I'll do better this week. Promise. (and the video's kind of long, you might...

I am so having a love affair right now with orange. First, it was the orange velvet blazer and now it's Chanel June nail polish. The color is soft and feminine but not to young looking. It makes me happy. Doesn't it look like a creamsicle? Or sorbet?   And the color is surprisingly...

There is just something about Chanel Peridot. Its like I dipped my fingers in melted gold. Like jewelry for my fingers. I can't seem to get enough of it (I wore it here too). The best part is it the color is a duochrome, so depending on the light,...
