Happy October! I ended September dressed like a storm chaser. I wore a poncho last weekend (bright blue, for those interested in fashion), and this Friday, I was one of the unfortunate souls to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge back home when the city canceled all train service due to flooding. I am grateful forContinue reading “September 2023 Favorites”

Thoughts on the First Day of Autumn
By: Gabriela Yareliz -The Strongest Virtue: Resilience- There’s a Russian saying that says something like, even the strongest piece of metal will break if it takes enough hits. Something like that. Do not quote me. I am not a Russian philosopher. This has had me thinking. The true virtue is not in being strong, butContinue reading “Thoughts on the First Day of Autumn”
Cinnamon Brooms
By: Gabriela Yareliz Somehow, in a desert of Vogue magazines, my fiancé found me the iconic September cover. I swear, it’s like impossible to find a magazine in Brooklyn. Do we not love fashion as much as Manhattan? Sigh. He also got me two of my favorite things, those little cinnamon brooms from Trader Joe’s.Continue reading “Cinnamon Brooms”
Forcing the Season
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s fall. I’ve always been that person who forces fall (and spring, to be fair). I remember wearing my corduroy pants once school started. I distinctly remember melting at a UF bus stop in the hot August sun with a shoulder bag that is probably part of the reason why my shouldersContinue reading “Forcing the Season”
August 2023 Favorites
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am pretty sure someone got shot at the train station. They had it blocked off with caution tape, Citizen App is being cagey and there were bottles and bottles of purple cleaner and strawberry deodorizer. I have never been in a train or at a train station for that matter thatContinue reading “August 2023 Favorites”
A Havisham Summer
By: Gabriela Yareliz I’ll start with this– I’ve missed writing. And I don’t mean my month recaps– though those are fun too (and one is coming). I mean I miss my brain dumps where I bare my heart and wax poetic. Reading Garance Dore archives reminded me of what it felt like to write journal-typeContinue reading “A Havisham Summer”
Where We Set Our Feet
“Anywhere God walks is not beneath us.” Stand Against the Wind, Erwin R. McManus I read this quote this morning, and it shook me. This will mean different things to different people, but it was such a reminder of the humility of Jesus, and not only in His earthly ministry, but the fact that, today,Continue reading “Where We Set Our Feet”
Icono Series: Nina Van Horn (Just Shoot Me)
Van Horn (portrayed by Wendie Malick) has incredible style. There are barely any photos or pieces on her fashion because she was a fixture on a 90s television show, Just Shoot Me. I did find one (some of our images are from this article and IMDb). Nina is a former (and legendary) supermodel turned editorContinue reading “Icono Series: Nina Van Horn (Just Shoot Me)”
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: Lydia Millen
Lydia inspires femininity, cozy home vibes and England countryside. I am continually inspired by her. Here are the picks inspired by this icono. [Images via @lydiamillen] First, we start out with one of her collection dresses from Karen Millen… …Some Bertioli, as she loves Thyme… Something to put a delicious meal into… …a Holland CooperContinue reading “Icono Series: Lydia Millen”
