If you’re a New Yorker in DC, these days, you find yourself craving a win. Whether its for the Yankees or for common sense on the issues. But just like a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning or a side walk run-in with former Congressman Eric Cantor, you can’t predict when your wins and losses will come.

MONOCHROME AT THE BEACH | PUERTO RICO
I am a daydreamer. Since full time work and graduate school started two years ago, I am always daydreaming about escaping to a beach to hit my “RESET” button.

KEEPING STORYTELLING ALIVE WITH COMCAST XFINITY
I am a first generation American who has been blessed to visit my parents’ home country of India twice in my lifetime. While I often blog about the perfect Prada pump or styling myself for the opera, the truth is, my family comes from a place that is much more beautiful than any material thing. Years of dreaming, believing, and working hard, has grown our roots in the USA strong but our roots from India much too far.

While there seems to no longer be a transition from an election year to a non-election year, at least we have transition fashion. I mean, if I am going to spend a heated summer arguing about why women support candidates who are anti-women, I at least want my wardrobe to be cool and crisp. Continue reading
NAUTICAL STYLE IN HAVRE DE GRACE
One of my favorite things about living in Washington, DC is the wonderful weekend getaways and day trips nearby that can fill up an entire season. In just an hour or two, one can be on a local beach, in a fox village, or in a boating town. This year I promised myself I’d seek out new destinations, new experiences, and new perspectives in the same world. Which brings us to Havre de Grace. Continue reading
ST. PATTY’S DAY TO NIGHT OUTFITS

HOW TO STYLE A MIDI SKIRT
Going to the ballet. Has there ever been a better reason to get dolled up? I don’t think so. When I heard the New York Ballet was coming to the Kennedy Center, I knew I had to pull a fresh New York piece out of my closet for a night out in DC. So I experimented with a midi skirt for the first time. This is how to style a midi skirt. Continue reading
HOW TO WEAR A MAXI SKIRT
You won’t find a girl who is more “city” than me. But even this New Yorker in DC appreciates a change of scenery. So I packed my favorite garments and headed for a romantic cabin in Luray, Virginia. This post is all about how to wear a maxi skirt, in the city – or in the fields. Continue reading
WHAT TO WEAR ON A VALENTINE’S DAY DATE
What I love about Valentine’s Day is that it is a holiday that lets you dress up like a gorgeous glam adult. Not a Christmas elf. Not an Easter bunny. Not a Thanksgiving turkey. Continue reading
