We’ve officially reached that tricky time of year when you leave your apartment freezing cold in the early morning, only to come home sweating by mid-afternoon. Welcome to the transitional season in New York City — a period when the weather can’t seem to make up its mind, but thankfully, your outfits still can.

Fall is officially here, and with it comes the most exciting part of NYC life: style season in full swing. October is all about layering pieces thoughtfully, mixing a variety of textures, and fully embracing those cozy-yet-chic vibes that make New Yorkers look effortlessly put together. From classic knits to statement outerwear, this month offers endless opportunities to experiment with your wardrobe. Here’s what’s trending this season and some fresh ideas for pulling together your own perfectly city-ready looks.

We’ve officially entered the wonderful season of cozy layers, rich textures, and all the little details that make getting dressed in the fall such an enjoyable and comforting ritual. I’ve been leisurely wandering through Zara—both in-store and online, because let’s be honest, sometimes the fitting rooms can be a bit overwhelming—and pulling together a curated selection of pieces that feel like instant staples for this fall. Think timeless yet playful styles, with those effortless “throw on and go” vibes that I absolutely live for and can’t wait to embrace all season long.

there’s something magical about september in new york city. the air shifts, the light softens, and suddenly every sidewalk feels like a runway for the start of fall fashion.

This month’s trends are both playful and polished — imagine polka dots with a bold attitude, collared sweaters that perfectly capture that nostalgic “back-to-school” vibe, and plaid patterns in every imaginable form. Flat mules are making a stylish statement for chic commuting, and yes, knee-high socks are making a strong and fashionable return. Consider this your ultimate guide to what to wear, how to style each piece effortlessly, and (most importantly) the best places to shop these must-have looks.

End of summer dressing is truly a whole mood. It’s not quite the season to break out chunky sweaters just yet, but honestly… I can’t handle another full day in denim shorts without feeling like I’m melting away. The secret? Embracing transitional pieces that allow you to glide through these sticky, humid August days while still maintaining your effortless, cool vibe.

Let’s talk closets. More specifically: how we thoughtfully build a wardrobe that truly feels like us — not just for this week or the next season, but in a lasting way that still resonates and fits our style five years from now. You know that feeling when you put something on and instantly feel good? Like you’re standing a little taller, walking with a bit more confidence, maybe even smiling at strangers without thinking about it? Yeah, we want more of that. But also — we want it to endure. Not trend-chasing, not fast fashion fatigue, and definitely not another bag of “maybe I’ll wear it someday” shoved in the back of the closet gathering dust. We want pieces that tell our story and grow with us over time.

Today we’re diving into something that’s truly close to my heart and, let’s be honest, a big part of my daily life and closet: how to dress your curves. And I’m not talking about “how to hide them.” Nope, that’s definitely not the vibe here.

I’ve been people-watching all over the city lately (you know I just can’t help myself), and the summer fashion scene in NYC this July? It’s absolutely serving looks. Whether it’s lazy, sun-drenched walks through Harlem, stylish brunches in Williamsburg, or lively nights out downtown, the girls, the guys, the theys — everyone’s really stepping up their style game this month. So, I thought I’d put together a little roundup of what’s been catching my eye recently. Consider this your casual city-style cheat sheet, sprinkled with a bit of that signature maybe ally flair 🕊️

If you’ve ever attempted to look cute and stylish in 90º heat while navigating the challenges of climbing subway stairs and deftly dodging sidewalk scooters… then you know that summer in New York City is most certainly not for the faint of heart.

I brought very little with me to the vibrant city of New Orleans. It was certainly out of the norm for me, as I usually pack heavy for trips, bringing an array of choices along.
