I set up a question and answer box on instagram, but since some questions are better answered in a longer format, I thought I’d address them here! I get quite a few of the same questions I’ve answered in the past – so linking to those below before diving into the newer questions from this week.
You can also see older Q&A posts here, here and here!

Q: Three beauty products you can’t live without?
Answer: This face cream, this eyeliner, and this all-day lipstick.
Q: Are you back in NYC permanently? How long do you spend there?
Answer: This question was raised very understandably. We are full time in Florida but try to spend 2-3 months of the year in NYC. We are still toying with the idea of returning, but we haven’t made any decisions yet. There are so many things I love about Florida – the space, the ease, the pace of life, the winter weather! On the other hand, there are so many things I miss about NYC – the energy, the endless restaurants, the unique shops and museums, and of course my friends. Hopefully we’ll find a balance that works for us!
Q: What are your favorite glasses to wear?
A: This will be an ever-evolving answer, but right now I have to say Linda Farrow Dunaway sunglasses. You can see my full list of daily favorites here!
Q: Great work bag under $500?
Answer: Well my go-to travel/work bag for many years has been this carry-on. It has a secure zip closure, is extremely durable, fits my laptop plus everything else I need, has multiple ways to wear it, and doesn’t feel bad about putting it on the ground. That bag is pretty casual though, so if you’re in an environment where you need a bag that’s functional and polished enough to wear on a date, I’d probably go for this bag. It’s sturdy, has a great shoulder drop, multiple compartments, fits a laptop, and has a secure center zipper!
Q: Did you start this site for fun?
A: I did!! I started this site in early 2010 and didn’t see this as an avenue to start a business, but the industry evolved and here we are!
Q: Do you prefer basics?
A: I talk about this a lot here, here and here. Overall, my favorite everyday jeans are these , favorite tanks are this one and this one , and my current favorite sweater is this one .
Q: Coats you’re targeting for fall?
A: So you know I’m a coat collector!! I have seen this and this. They’re both big investment pieces, so I’m not committing to them yet. You can follow along here to see all my fall/winter favorites as I find them.
Q: Any suggestions for wedding guest dresses please?!
A: I love this one paired with some statement earrings for a late summer wedding, this dress for a black tie affair, and this one going fast (I just wore it last weekend to an event)!
