Baltimore best dressed.

If you follow me on Instagram or Snapchat, you'll know that I finally made the move to Charm City and have been busy settling into the new city! I could not have felt more welcomed into the fashion world of Baltimore, than with two back-to-back editorial features. 

Thank you to the wonderful street style photographer, Colby Ware for featuring my style in The Baltimore Sun online. Totally an unexpected surprise. And I could not have felt more honored than to be named one of Baltimore's best dressed in the September issue of Baltimore Magazine, along side Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and the infamous "Bowtie Bob." 

 Check out the feature here.

Cannot wait to share more of my Baltimore adventures with everyone. Stay tuned!

Weekend style.

I typically live in shorts in the summertime because walking around the city during the hottest time of the year is a “tanning” opportunity I refuse to miss out on (if you’re pale like me, you’ll understand). The east coast weather has consistently stayed warm (thank goodness), but I like to prepare for the cooler temperatures indoors and no better way to do so than with a light jacket.

I LOVE this blue bomber from Asos- the super lightweight jacket has a baseball collar that instantly gives off a sporty chic look, especially when you roll up your sleeves. The silky blue colored fabric gives you the pop of color you deserve for summer! Finished off the look with comfy white tennis shoes, a choker necklace and a pair of hoops for some glam.

Cheers to a good week!

'90s throwback.

They say trends come and go so you shouldn't jump from one to the next, but I'm a firm believer that there are no rules in fashion- I'll forever be a '90s kid. I mean who doesn't still listen to throwback Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Christina Aguilera, Madonna, Britney Spears, Destiny's Child, No Doubt, J Lo., TLC, Mariah Carey, Eminem and the list goes on. 

Of course, there are things I regret from the '90s like confidently wearing baby blue eye shadow like I was Cameron Diaz, rocking my fake sports team tanks and tees from Limited Too and of course, sporting my short short skorts... 

This time, I'm doing it right. Here's my sporty, but feminine take on the '90s look. 

Bold lips. ✔️

Bleached hair. ✔️

Crop top. ✔️

Denim jacket. ✔️

Choker. ✔️

Mesh. ✔️

Chucks. ✔️

I think I've covered all the basis. How will you embrace this trend?

Memorial day weekend getaway.

I'm FINALLY back friends. If you follow me on Snapchat, you'll know I've been traveling for work nonstop. So when my friends from high school asked me to take off of work for one day (four day weekend, anyone? :D) and join them at a beach house in Delaware, I jumped in on the opportunity. I'll have to admit, as a Marylander, the only time I have ever visited Delaware was in high school on a very very spontaneous trip with my bestie to drive to Sonic for a limeade, tots and a bacon cheeseburger (going on a mini road trip right after you get your license seems like the most rationale thing to do, am I right, or am I right?!). 

I must say, we totally lucked out in booking a home last minute and having a private beach in walking distance from our house- so peaceful and relaxing, just what I needed. How did you guys spend your Memorial Day weekend?

Sunday brunch.

Here's my Parisian look for Sunday brunch, my absolute favorite meal of the week. Love catching up with family and friends right before the week ahead. And if you have a sweet tooth like me, it's the time to indulge! I absolutely LOVE cute cafes with fancy latte art and sweet, decadent eats. Cheers to a good week!

So over winter.

As an East Coaster, I LOVE how I get to experience all four seasons throughout the year, but unless you're still in school, snow days mean you have to wake up early to clean off your car and brave the roads to get to work. NO FUN whatsoever. Counting down the days when I can walk around without a coat on.

Details.

Little details go a long way. And in this case, I embraced them all. Fringed booties can instantly add a bohemian flare to your every day jeans, pants or skirt. Distressed jeans paired with a white T-shirt or blouse can instantly edge up your look. And finding a white blouse that is not your usual work button-down can go a long way. In my case, I found this great 70's-esque blouse with lace details and fun, flowy sleeves. 

Instantly glam up your every day fashion by adding some minimal flare. Happy shopping!
