People Always Compliment My Style—Here's a 7-Day Diary of Every Single Thing I've Worn and Applied
From my favorite Khy coat to my Fara Homidi Lip Liner.
If my style could be described in three words, they'd be "fun, edgy, and almost always black." I'm the kind of girl who lives in baggy jackets, square-toe boots, and the kind of makeup that looks better slightly smudged by the end of the night. It's not curated so much as instinctual—a mix of pieces I genuinely love, products that make me feel like myself, and the occasional out of left field colorful tee that takes my friends by surprise. Interestingly enough, people constantly ask what I'm wearing or what's on my face—even when I swear I look unhinged and am a serial outfit repeater.
The looks I throw on to run errands, the outfits I assemble in the five minutes before dinner, and the beauty lineup I swear by usually make everything come together in some way. And some mornings I’m relying on good lighting and concealer.
What I've learned is that style isn't about perfection—it's about the tiny decisions that shift your attire's whole vibe. The right jacket can save a "whatever" outfit just like the right blush can make you look awake if you're running on three hours of sleep.
In the spirit of oversharing, I've documented every single thing I wore and every product I reached for this week. If you're in need of some ensemble and beauty inspiration, keep reading below.
Day 1: Airport Essentials
I'm flying to California, so the clock turns backwards while we move West. I always keep a pair of sunglasses on me in the air so that if someone decides to open the window or the lights suddenly turn on after the whole plane was in darkness. This pair is super cute and extremely functional.
Remedy's Advanced Hand & Cuticle Butter Cream is the one thing that keeps my hands from completely betraying me as I age. It's thick without being greasy, sinks in fast, and the retinol keeps my hands looking young—this part of the body is usually thin and ages first.
Day 2: Running Errands
La Prairie's Cellular Softening and Balancing Lotion is what I reach for on days my skin needs to stay calm through in many different environments. It's technically an essence, but feels more hydrating than that. Even by the end of the day, my face stays toned, plump, and fresh.
Day 3: Pilates and Brunch Catch-Up
Day 4: Road Trip to Los Angeles
Merit's Minimalist Stick is one of those rare complexion products that lands right between lightweight and buildable, melting into the skin but still delivering coverage. It smooths, brightens, and evens everything out without ever looking like makeup.
Day 5: A Night on the Town
It's freezing in New York right now, so any hint of warm weather feels like an excuse to wear something short and fun. I love sequins and this mini dress has the perfect amount of shine without feeling over the top. Plus, it's simple enough that I can throw it on with a teeny heel and go. Perfect for dancing at Are We On Air.
My favorite thing about the Fara Homidi Smudge & Contour Pencil is that it lets you shape your lips softly, almost like shading, and then blends out with a fingertip if you want a slightly blurred look. It's been my go-to for years because it somehow makes every lip product you pair with it look a little better.
Miutine ended up being my favorite launch of 2025, mostly because it didn't smell like anything else that came out this year. It's playful but not sugary, sharp without being aggressive, and it settles into this skin-hugging scent that feels like a decadent pastry.
Day 6: Dinner at My Favorite Restaurant
I've been yearning for a hot pants moment, so I'm definitely rocking this Frankie Skort from With Jean when I go to dinner in DTLA at the Hotel Figueroa. The skort cut keeps everything secure, so I can actually enjoy my night at dinner without adjusting it every five seconds.
The Colorgraph pencil from Valentino is the one liner I always have in bag when I want definition but don't have the patience for liquid liner. The gel texture lets you get a clean line or a quick smudge before it sets and once it's on, it doesn't move.
The new Eau D'Extrait Oral collab from Selahatin with Rick Owens hits differently from any other mouth spray—it's dark, aromatic, and feels more like a finishing touch than a hygiene step. It'll cut through whatever I've eaten at dinner without going full minty blast.
Day 7: Shopping Spree
The Brain Dead Low Sneaker is the pair I reach for when I want something comfortable but still a little funky in the best way. They've got that chunky, graphic Brain Dead look without feeling heavy, and they give even the simplest outfit a little personality.
Flowy shorts for a day where I'm trying on a ton of clothing? Absolutely the right move. This pair from Heavy Manners has the perfect drape and never clings, which is crucial when you're shimmying in and out of a million outfits, especially in a busy place like The Grove.
As someone who's currently trying to strengthen and grow their hair, I take any chance I get to slather and slick back my hair with Bur Bur's Growing Season Growth and Repair Oil. It’s packed with nourishing botanicals like castor seed oil and burdock root extract that are actually known to support scalp health and encourage stronger strands.
