I once saw a very stylish, very understated girl wearing a black, wide-legged jumpsuit with lace trim. I fell in love, both with her look and her jumper. I spent three straight days scouring the internet for that jumper. Calling boutiques, emailing the designer, each explaining that my best bet was to search for the out-of-production-damnit jumper on eBay. It was...
NOT on eBay
. FINALLY, I found it. In West Yorkshire, UK
(
).
£30 express shipping, 2 business days and 1 weekend later,
that.jumpsuit.was.mine.
And that's when I knew personal style was more than an interest. Rather, an obsession. And so came
the
inspiration for this blog
.
BACKGROUND
Born and raised in
with my
Mother+3Siblings+Meeko+StepDad
, with frequent visits to NYC to visit my Brooklyn-ite
Father+2Siblings+StepMom
. I graduated from Duke University in 2008, moved to the East Village and realized the air of confidence→promise→beauty wafting from the city lights was going to trap me for life.
AND SO FAR, IT HAS

FOREGROUND
As a day job, I'm a Digital Strategist.
At nighttime,
my eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen
... JK, that's what happens to
! I, on the other hand, and am a wandering eyed globe trotter, adventure haver and style blogger
looking for the missing pieces to my wardrobe.
