There isn’t a better way to dream than to dream in tulle – the flowiness and romantic quality of this beautiful material makes you feel like a princess or a whimsical fairy.

Dress it up, dress it down, play with it. Here's one of many ways you can wear a tulle skirt in winter.

Let’s Make Opera Gloves Popular in 2017! Yay or Nay?
Can opera gloves be a thing again, please? Let's make them popular in 2017, because they really deserve to be. Let's be real - they elevate every outfit and bring a little bit of mystique to the wearer. It's like - I'm a bit covered, but I'm sexy at the same time because you can see just a little bit of skin. You feel me?
New Year’s Eve Look
My New Year's Eve look is a bit different this time around. I tend to opt for a dress, but I thought - why not switch it up a little? Maybe I can wear a romper that resembles PJs, because what's New Year's if not one big pajama party? At least for me, because I tend to fall asleep with a glass of champagne in one hand and Kathy Griffin yelling in the background from overcrowded Times Square, as we're all waiting for the ball to drop.
Best Albums of 2016
These are the best albums of 2016 (in no particular order):
Train Travel In Style
If you have to wait for the train, at least do it stylishly. Not that I was actually waiting for the train, but hey, I had to figure out how to name this post. The weekend I took these photos, New York was covered in snow. It came almost unnoticed and unannounced, like when Kirk sneaks into Emily Gilmore's dinner without anyone noticing him. (All Gilmore Girls fans, you know which scene I'm referring to...hilarious.)
Last Minute Holiday Gift Ideas
Shopping for yourself is hard, shopping for others is even harder, and shopping last minute is probably harder than it was for Sisyphus to roll that enormous boulder up the hill. (Leave it up to me to try and make a Greek mythology reference anytime I can. Does it always work? Not sure...) But hey, don't stress, cause I got you. Last Minute Holiday Gift Ideas is the only list you really need and as a bonus, I've added a super helpful app to it that might alleviate that stress you're going through. So keep reading and scrolling, cause you never know what you might find.
Single Review: Lauren Carnahan – “Catch 22”
Coming from a small town in Oklahoma, Lauren Carnahan has first dazzled her hometown audience at the age of four when she performed “Tomorrow” (from Annie) at her hometown church. Little girl, who was adopted at birth and had just survived heart surgery, received a standing ovation from the churchgoers. That was the defining moment of what’s soon to become her life’s calling.
Street Style New York City: City Lady for a Day
I don't take photos in the City very often, but when I do, I find it to be such a struggle. People are so over people taking photos on the sidewalks. I totally understand that - you're trying to get to work and then BAM! - an obstacle. But hey, the most important thing is your attitude. Patience and kindness go a long way and you need to have a lot of it when you're determined to take photos in a beautiful concrete jungle that New York City is.
