One goal that has become fully realized in my 30s: being bicoastal. My love for New York City and Los Angeles has defined the beginning of this decade. And through living and exploring these two places, my personal style has evolved. I see inspiration in the stories around me, from passengers sitting on the subway or the bougainvillea petals falling on the curb—how lucky am I to have called both cities home since turning 30?
I may call L.A. my permanent home (for now!), but I couldn’t stay away from the East for too long. Naturally, I booked a last-minute flight for a week of pre-New York Fashion Week rendezvous (thankfully just missing a blizzard). Winter is lingering a bit longer this season, but New Yorkers know how to dress regardless of the forecast. When packing the end-of-winter outfits, ahead, for my trip, I stuck to a capsule wardrobe. Think: classic, well-fit denim, cozy sweaters, interchangeable accessories, and standout coats. This dressing hack can carry its way into spring just by ditching some layers or showing a little more skin.
