An Alternative Groove As a diehard Tame Impala fan, Currents has held a warm place in my kaleidoscope heart ever since its release. The creativity behind the chronology of each musical composition goes unmatched. The music will take you on an ethereal, psychedelic journey. And as an honorable mention, Born to Die by Lana Del Rey, because it flawlessly romanticizes the beauty of femininity.

Trench Coat

The best thing I’ve done for my wardrobe is begin building an outerwear collection; specifically, an assortment of trench coats that cater to various occasions. With a few staple tones and silhouettes, I have the ability to elevate even the most dull autumn/winter look. Trench coats have become a part of my signature look; I truly wouldn’t be myself without one.

500 Days of Summer

While it may be a bit cliche, 500 Days of Summer never fails to be an incredibly delightful watch. The very realistic and relatable portrayal of hopeless romanticism is what keeps me coming back.

The World Atlas of Street Fashion

I would consider myself a nonfiction literature enthusiast that often turns to autobiographies and selfhelp books. I discovered The World Atlas of Street Fashion by Caroline Cox lying in the gift shop during a trip to the MoMa. This atlas does a deep dive into the history of each street fashion sector over the years, paying homage to the cultural roots of each trend. This book has been a phenomenal tool in my fashion school endeavors and the imaging throughout is fabulous!

D.V. by Diana Vreeland A book I have recently read is D.V. by Diana Vreeland. I highly recommend this autobiography as Diana tells you her stories of being in the fashion world. While reading this book I discovered how influential she was and how her legacy still lives.

Is This It by The Strokes It’s so difficult for me to choose one favorite album, as my music taste changes constantly depending on my mood.

You Are Here

Whenever I finish a Thich Nhat Hanh book, I instantly look for another. Hanh was a Vietnamese Buddhist Monk who known as the

“father of mindfulness.” I would say that all the books I’ve read are my favorite, each enlightening in its own way, but I will choose

You Are Here, because it’s the one that led me down the rabbit hole in the first place.

Interview Magazine One of my little hobbies is exploring and collecting new or vintage magazines—especially Interview. Whenever a new issue is released, I skip to Casa Magazines on 8th Ave to pick up the newspaper-textured periodical and put time aside to read my news. Interview is fun, edgy, and transparent, and its design and photography are creative, especially the old illustrated covers.

Vintage Leather Jacket My mom’s vintage leather jacket from the ‘90s is one of my favorites. She bought it when she was 21 and wore it in her early adventures, effortlessly embodying the grunge/Winona Ryder era. It was stored away, waiting for a new life when she handed it down to me almost three years ago, and I never miss a moment to showcase it. Truly a gem and sentimental piece.
