The Train Awards

By: Gabriela Yareliz There we were. All of us in the moving train car. A small bullet of speed moving underground (much too slow). All of us like shards of glass soon to be dispersed into a million little directions, launched into our day. But before that, we are sharing space. We are avoiding eyeContinue reading “The Train Awards”

Icono Series: Melissa Wood Tepperberg

Melissa Wood Tepperberg has changed my life with intentional movement. I have tried many other workout programs, but my lack of interest in them is not because they aren’t good but because they aren’t Melissa. I haven’t found anyone who approaches movement and wellness in the way she does, and for this reason, she isContinue reading “Icono Series: Melissa Wood Tepperberg”

Icono Series: Catherine Zeta-Jones

She is one of the most beautiful women in the world. Catherine Zeta-Jones not only stole the heart of Zorro, but she stole ours, too. She was the face of Elizabeth Arden for years… …A black top was her go to; black anything… She always looked stunning in red. She has one of the mostContinue reading “Icono Series: Catherine Zeta-Jones”

As You Wish

By: Gabriela Yareliz Taking a styling course was a fun investment. We are still in this weird place where we don’t dress up half as often as we used to, but we aren’t in loungewear 24/7, either. We are emerging from the dark pond of pandemic uniforms. I am starting to put some of myContinue reading “As You Wish”

A Lesson from Ms. Hilton (Loves It)

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s 2004. For Christmas, I get the new Paris Hilton fragrance with a black quilted handbag that has a little compact in it, and it has the name “Paris Hilton” embroidered into it in bright pink. The greatly coveted and cherished gift set. If you were a teen in the early 2000s,Continue reading “A Lesson from Ms. Hilton (Loves It)”

The Designer: Nancy Gonzalez

By: Gabriela Yareliz Her python bags go for thousands. You may remember that memorable closet scene in The Devil Wears Prada when her name is mentioned as Andy is handed a teal bag. Colombian-born designer Nancy Gonzalez has infiltrated the American and global handbag fashion world to the point of making her iconic. Her firstContinue reading “The Designer: Nancy Gonzalez”

The Way We Were

By: Gabriela Yareliz People magazine has a list of ‘100 Reasons to Love America’ this week. (I didn’t subscribe; but for some reason, I receive magazines to my address from them). Guess what #100 was? Ben Affleck and J.Lo. I laughed. While it’s a bit ridiculous, it reminded me of relationship nostalgia. Then, there wasContinue reading “The Way We Were”

We Are All Carrie Bradshaw

By: Gabriela Yareliz I am sitting on the couch surrounded by beautiful clothes, and I’m thinking… hear me out… when did we decide that the pandemic was a good excuse to not wear clothes? Are we really that desperate to save on laundry? We in NYC have been living in our yoga pants for yearsContinue reading “We Are All Carrie Bradshaw”

My Favorite Things in 2020

The links are just included to share the good stuff with you). HOME Sleep eye mask: I started using aContinue reading “My Favorite Things in 2020”
