How To Style The Bomber Jacket

This is, without a doubt, my favorite trend of the moment. It's so "cool girl" chic. Take a look at the runways of Alexander Wang, Tibi and Chloe for their haute couture take on this wardrobe staple. When it comes to street fashion, Gigi Hadid is pretty much Queen B(omber).

I like to wear this piece on my way to a workout class, to casual lunches, and to the movies. Those are the only things I do, so you can pretty much always find me in a bomber jacket. How would you wear this trend?

What It's Like to Be Vegan

How long I've been vegan: exactly 10 months today :)

Why I became vegan: originally for my health... currently for my health, the animals and the environment

Favorite vegan food: dates, pesto pasta, tirasumi and peanut butter anything

Favorite vegan beauty brand: Urban Decay, Tarte and Nars

Must-reads, vegan edition: Happy Healthy Herbivore is my favorite fat-free cookbook.

Best vegan spots in NYC: I mostly eat a low fat diet avoiding oil, nuts and seeds because it helps my skin and helps maintain my weight. However, once a week I'll stop by Candle West Cafe or byCHLOE for a treat. I also like the muffins at Juice Generation.

Style Forecast: Oxfords

Why do I love wearing oxfords so much? Simple answer - they create the perfect mix between looking fashion forward and looking sophisticated. Any time my outfit needs a little extra love, oxfords are my go-to because they can take an outfit from minimalistic to compliment-worthy!

Imperfect Parisian

My first morning waking up in Paris looked a little like this!

9:30 am: wake up call to avoid jet lag
10:30 am: dream breakfast of overnight oats with sliced banana
12:00 am: stroll in Jardin du Luxembourg with my favorite dog

P A R I S

I'M BACK IN PARIS! I SMILED THE SECOND I GOT OFF THE PLANE. IT'S ANOTHER WORLD OVER HERE. DRIVING TO MY APARTMENT AND LOOKING AT THE FASHION, ARCHITECTURE AND CAFES MADE ME FEEL AT HOME.

Mondays... what to say? For me, monday is this "BOOM" wake up call that hits after a weekend of pure bliss and zero responsibility. Somehow, I always manage to leave my life a total mess on Friday. I guess because I leave Manhattan every Friday in escape to the countryside, I literally put my city life on hold for 72 hours. Hopefully this explains why returning on monday, to a mildly explosive state of life, is startling. 

Mondays have become a "catch up" day where I organize my once neat closet that I destroyed during the week and do last weeks laundry I left to "clean itself". I'm ultimately welcomed home with no groceries and a serious state of disorder. 

So let's be real? Is it time to change my routine? Instead of running from my messy Manhattan studio (I live in a college dorm but why not pretend?), should I leave the city a little more put together before I make my 3-day move to the country?

International Woman's Day

What this day means to me:

1. It's a recognized day for the movement to empower woman.

2. It reminds me how proud I am to be a wise and expansive feminine soul.

3. It's give me a reason to celebrate.

4. It inspires me to empower other woman

5. It makes me feel bigger than myself.
