When it comes to displaying my jewelry, I love having everything out in the open. This makes choosing what to accessorize with easier and it helps me to appreciate more of what I have. This past weekend I did a quick inventory of my necklaces, bracelets, and rings. I separated them into three categories: things I wear regularly, items I rarely wear, and tarnished or broken pieces. For the weathered items, I invested time in trying to clean or fix them and if it didn’t work I ended up taking the jewelry apart and saving the charms, or tossing the pieces all together. For theRead More →

When sheltering in place was announced over a month ago, I told myself I wouldn’t sit around and get nothing accomplished. Aside from writing, spending time with Billy, and working out, I wanted to touch on my creative side—something I rarely have the time to do. I began looking for DIY crafts and discovered 25 that are ideal no matter what your living situation is. From artistic projects and cooking kits to painting and tech, you can do these activities solo, with your significant other or roommates, or with your family. *This article contains some affiliate links.

We’re so excited to announce Gina Checchia is joining A Girl in NYC! We can’t wait to see the exciting content she brings, but first—here’s a little about her. Xo—Kristie I would never leave home without… my cellphone and purse. I stay fit by… taking long walks, doing yoga, and eating nutritious food. In my spare time I… like to thrift shop, listen to music, cook, read, go to the beach, play with my cat, hang out with friends and family, and find new places to explore. The first thing I do in the morning is… check my phone notifications and feed my cat. MyRead More →

Since I returned from my vacation to the East Coast, I’ve been on a mission to update my apartment. I’ve spent endless hours scrolling through Pinterest searching for small (and inexpensive) changes that will elevate my home. What really caught my eye were the tasteful ways to style a bar cart. I ended up narrowing down my favorites into four styles: art deco, acrylic, minimalist, and eccentric. Then I researched where to find the quintessential pieces inspired by the themes. During my quest to create the ideal bar cart I took it one step further and built a comprehensive list of everything you could possiblyRead More →

As I sit here on my flight to the East Coast, where I’ll be spending the rest of 2019 and ringing in the New Year, I’m reminiscing on the incredible year I’ve had. At the end of 2018, Nara and I did a “year in review” where we highlighted our favorite moments, trends, and what we wanted to remember. I started this tradition a few years ago and kept my thoughts in a journal, but last December I published them for the first time. A couple of days ago I revisited the questionnaire by filling out the same series of questions that pertain to fashion,Read More →

Over the years I’ve accumulated a lot of items from traveling. As soon as I stepped off the plane, my mind would go into “souvenir shopping mode,” even if that meant buying pointless items that later ended up in the trash. I began revising my strategy and considered what I wanted to purchase (for myself, and for my friends and family) beforehand so I had an idea of what to look for. Then I narrowed it down to specific categories and came up with a list of things that people actually like to receive. Now, when I’m souvenir shopping, I’m not blowing my money onRead More →

Hosting a party should be an enjoyable affair and you shouldn’t spend a ton of time stressing over the small stuff. Years ago, when I threw my first party I prepared for weeks and spent way too much money. To say I went overboard, that would be an understatement. Since then, I’ve adopted a party planning strategy with specific tasks that help me plan efficiently. It doesn’t matter if I’m hosting a fall soiree or a get together in the middle of the summer, there’s a certain way I go about doing things, and I’ll make a few adjustments depending on the occasion. These areRead More →
