2020 has left us all in need of positive vibes. While I’m not one for escapism, I’ve been thankful to find daily joy in two activities: talking to my dad in the morning before my work day begins and watching Seinfeld to fall asleep. I’ve been living in my parents’ house since March but they’re not here. They’re in California with my brothers while I’m on the East coast. It’s a funny thing to live in a house full of your family’s stuff without them. For example, one of my father’s shirts is hangi…

There’s no doubt that Bella Hadid has breathed new life into the hardwired headphones look. Sadly, no matter what I do to emulate her look, my own tethered experience is anything but cool. Having lost two sets of pricey earbuds over the last year, and after my latest mishap involving losing one, yes one, bud to a storm drain, I told myself I had to earn back my own trust before I could treat myself to a new pair. There’s no such thing as a good pair of cheap wireless earbuds, or so I thought. I…

Launched last year, Hope for Flowers blends Reese’s two decades of design experience in the industry with a very modern business model.

Like many around the world, I’m currently coming down from binge-watching The Crown on Netflix. This season brought the highly anticipated introduction of Emma Corrin as a young Diana Spencer in all her gorgeous, late-’80s glory. Understandably, the internet has been ablaze since the show’s release with renewed obsession in her many stylish outfits from this period (and beyond), from the quirky sweaters to her big-bowed pregnancy blouses. It’s easy to understand. Diana’s magnetism is undeniable,…

Over the weekend, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London officially opened its doors after months of lockdown during the pandemic. Saturday saw visitors returning to the cultural institution and the debut of a brand-new exhibition titled “Bags: Inside Out,” which highlights iconic bags throughout history, ranging from Margaret Thatcher’s favorite ladylike Asprey tote to the sparkly Fendi Baguette made real-life famous when it appeared on the arm of the fictional character, Carrie Bradshaw, in…

I started to notice it on Sundays. Over the years, during those lazy weekend days, I’d throw on clothes to walk around the block to the bodega or to grab a midday coffee only to get to the front door and notice that my boyfriend and I were in matching outfits. Sometimes, these twinning moments made us laugh. Sometimes, they sent us back into our apartment so that one of us could change. I always blamed it on the day, since Sunday is in fact all about ease. As far as fashion is concerned, it’s a…

Your feet will thank you later.

There’s nothing quite like the flash of bright lights illuminating a runway as music begins to pound through a venue. The audience members’ heads start to swivel to keep up with the newest designer wares as they are revealed one by one on models parading up and down in front of them. The energy is palpable. These are the moments we all look forward to as editors, but for me as Vogue’s accessories director, it’s not just what’s on the runway that gives me that flutter of excitement. Don’t get me…

Puppies grow into their paws. For years growing up, my shoe size was the same as my age, and by the time I was 10, my footwear was scaring me. I finally found my groove in my late teens by leaning into the classics: Converse high-tops—in black, cream, red, and navy—became my signature shoes, and in my 20s I gravitated toward ballet flats and men’s penny loafers, both of which were easy to find in my size and came in abundant colors and materials. But what happens when you get a job at Vogue and…
