Diamond Bomb in shade

“How Many Carats?!”

Hands down this glitter highlighter from Fenty Beauty is my favorite. Rihanna really knew what she was doing with this one by making all the girlies glow like fairies. I would wear this glitter every day, and I’ve been through so many containers of it. It's so easy to apply, and you can use it as more than just a highlighter.

Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2022 Collection This collection, from start to finish, is stunning. I love the mix of colors and neutrals with elegant textures and the nuanced take on classic corsets and chiffon draping. Glenn Martens is truly a visionary; he stayed true to Haute couture and the JPG brand but was able to create something modern and exciting.

My “Witch’s Lair” Pinterest Board

For years, I have been collecting images of decor that I want to have in my dream home. I am truly a maximalist and my eclectic taste in decor represents that. From foodinspired furniture to lava lamp Christmas trees this Pinterest board is filled with all the weird things I love.

Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion

This book is my favorite that I have read so far. As a writer, I am heavily inspired by Didion’s work, especially this collection of articles and essays from her late '60s era. I have read her personal essays at the end of the book a million times.

She made me the writer that I am today and her work will continue to inspire so many even after her recent passing.

Labyrinth Who doesn’t love David Bowie as an actor?! I grew up watching this film with my sisters, and I hold it close to my heart. I have always had an affinity for the odd and magical when it comes to films. The plot, the creatures, and the score of this film are unmatched. It is a classic that I will always return to.

“Trilogy” by The Weeknd As one of the top 2% of The Weeknd’s Spotify listeners, I can proudly say this is one of my favorite albums. I have been listening to The Weeknd since I was 13 and I go back to this album every year. My favorite tracks are “The Morning,” “House Of Balloons/ Glass Table Girls,” and "D.D." (a cover of Michael Jackson’s “Dirty Diana.”)

Sleeveless by Natasha Stagg This book includes fiction and nonfiction pieces about culture, art, and fashion in New York City. It’s perfect if you don’t want to commit to a full-length book because it’s a collection of essays and stories.

Kyoto by Phoebe Bridgers Although I love everything Phoebe Bridgers releases, this song has been on repeat.

Jennifer’s Body This may seem like a typical horror movie on the surface, but in the past few years, it’s gained a feminist cult following for good reason. I always recommend this for a movie night because it has the right balance of horror and comedy.

Dior-Eau Sauvage I make sure to spritz a little on every morning.

Cartier Panthère Watch This watch has quite literally been glued to my wrist since I got it. A simple silver or gold watch is the perfect little touch for any outfit.

Chunky Black Loafers Whether they’re from Gucci or ASOS, you can never go wrong with a chunky black loafer. When I don’t feel like putting together a cute outfit, they dress up my look with minimal effort.

Bath & Body Works Champagne Toast This is my all-time favorite scent from Bath & Body Works. The scent of champagne, berries, and tangerine will never get old. There is definitely a reason why it’s a bestseller!

Khalid Khalid has been my favorite artist since I first fell in love with his storytelling. I can almost guarantee if my airpods are in, Khalid is playing.

Victoria Villano Art Director

Kate Spade Chelsea Large Tote, Cranberry Cocktail I am definitely a self-proclaimed purse lover, especially when it comes to Kate Spade. This is my goto weekend tote bag. I love adding a pop of color to my outfits, and Cranberry Cocktail does just that.

Survivor I am an unapologetic lover of competition reality TV. Even after 42 seasons, I still get excited. Strategy, backstabbing, and adventure… there’s nothing better on Wednesday nights.

Harlan Coben Novels I have never been an avid reader, but that changed once I discovered Harlan Coben. His stories are full of twists, turns, and unpredictable endings. Some of his books have also been adapted into limited series on Netflix.

Christian Siriano He has been my favorite designer since he won Project Runway in 2007. I even have a sketch of his on my bedroom wall. His designs embrace femininity and creativity—which I love. Wearing a custom Siriano will forever be a dream.

Upcycled Spoon Ring My spoon ring is so special to me. It was gifted to me for my 21st by one of my best friends. I love it because it is one of a kind.

Red Hot Chili Peppers RHCP has been my go-to band since middle school. Indie and alt-rock are my most listened to genres, and The Peppers were my introduction to this type of music.

Seanik LUSH Shampoo Sustainable beauty products are very important to me. I always consider the testing policies, packaging, and ingredients. LUSH checks off all of those for me.

Siddhartha This book was introduced to me by my 8th grade teacher. I gravitate to it every time I reach a new chapter in my life.

Breaking Bad

A visual masterpiece. Vince Gilligan, the director, does an incredible job of slowly building the characters and plot, ultimately turning Walter White, Chemistry Professor and Drug Lord, into the most cynical protagonist.

Vintage Levis

These are an absolute staple in my closet. I own quite a few pair of vintage Levis. The worn-in and baggy fit is my favorite style.
