"This semester was hard. 

It’s been rewarding, draining, frustrating, magical, fun, full of adventure and just outright annoying. But it’s also been an actual life. I’m so thankful I can smile, cry, laugh, exercise, not exercise, impersonate Miranda Sings, hate myself, dance around in a bikini, be disappointed, eat cookies for lunch, get an A, get an F, be completely mediocre and still treat myself well at the end of the day."

What Makes A Bestfriend?

Meet New Yorks quirkiest friends- Italian Isotta meets half-Parisian, half-crazy Ella. So, what makes us perfect partners in crime?

Isotta: There is no definition of a good friend... it's about someone who listens, makes you feel special, and stays beside you even when you're not at your best. You share some interests but don't have the same passions. Someone that inspires you to do something better and bigger.

Ella: Someone who makes you feel like being 100% you. You can be crazy, sad, annoying and even a little bratty around them because they'll still love you tomorrow. Someone that guides you in the right direction, respects your journey and knows your flaws. When I saw "someone", I mean Isotta lol.

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.
