Mommin’ isn’t easy, but I’m a firm believer that looking good goes a long way to feeling good about motherhood, yourself, and life in general. Yes, motherhood changes things, including the way you dress – but it doesn’t mean that you can’t be stylish while practical. On a recent sunny Saturday afternoon running around the…

My Urban Oasis: Part II
The Wine Lounge Optimizing our small, but precious outdoor space to enjoy this summer also meant creating a cozy area to unwind in after work or on the weekends, or a place to (eventually, I hope) entertain family and friends. Since the Wine Lounge occupies the other side of our narrow terrace (located around the…
My Urban Oasis: Part I
The Sun Lounge Any amount of outdoor space in New York City is a luxury, but our terrace, with its narrow and L-shaped configuration, presented a real challenge for furnishing and enjoying it all these years. But, with all of this extra time at home, I realized it was time to give our terrace a…
Pretty in Pleats
With everything going on in the world, it’s hard to think about anything Covid unrelated. But, this week, perhaps due to the gorgeous Spring weather and my return from maternity leave, I decided it’s time to get back to some sort of normal, albeit altered. So, I’m excited to finally share a pretty pleated look…
Quarantine in Style | It’s Time to Upgrade Your Loungewear
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been minimally motivated to get dressed during these days at home. For the first few days, I relished in leggings and sweatpant bliss. But as the novelty wore, and the realization that I hadn’t gotten out of my pajamas in days finally set in, I knew it was…
Trend Alert: The Shirt Jacket
Fashion week, both on and off the runways, solidified our need to try out a new trend – the shirt-jacket. But before we get into the details of this week’s look, I can’t tell you how excited I am to share my first fashion post since the baby. There’s no doubt that life and my…
Button-Down Shirt – Two Ways
With a closet full of beautiful clothing, it’s hard to pick favorites. But the ones I love and wear most are undoubtedly the ones that offer versatility. During these warm summer months and as my body continues to evolve, I’ve been loving oversized button down shirts that are light, breezy and versatile. From classic white…
Perfectly Coordinated: How to Wear Matching Sets
Getting dressed should be as effortless as possible and nothing makes putting a look together easier than a matching set (aka co-ord or two-piece). Co-ords or two-piece sets have been popular for a few seasons- whether its a top and pant, top and skirt or top and short – but I happen to be particularly…
Who What Wear X Styled by MY: The Perfect Floral Maxi that Won’t Break the Bank
For me, summer style is all about simplicity – being able to step out in one piece and calling it a day. And truth be told, pregnancy has only highlighted that desire with the additional (and perhaps more important goal) of being comfortable. So, when Who What Wear reached out to me about their newest…
Sizzling Summer in a Slip Dress
Last week’s post was all about the slip skirt, but now that degrees are hitting 90 in New York City, I’m back to loving the slip dress – light, luxe and undeniably sexy. Even if you’re not a certifiable fashion girl, you should own a slip dress (or three), and here are a few good…
Parisian Polka Dot Pretty
At the start of every season, I look for style inspiration to guide the season’s wardrobe. And this Spring/Summer, I was determined to achieve french girl style (especially after binge watching Plan Couer). If you’ve ever been to Paris or anywhere in France, you know exactly what I’m talking about (because you, like I, came…
Summer Suiting: The Gingham Print Suit
Who said you have to shed your power suits for Summer? For my fellow power suit obsessed (e.g. here, here and here) or those whose work attire requires a jacket for the office, I am dedicated to reinventing and finding refreshing ways to wear suits all seasons. Earlier this Spring, to satiate my desire to…
