I can’t let October end without sharing my favor I can’t let October end without sharing my favorite news of the month: I’m now a Contributing Editor at @marieclairemag!!! 

Marie Claire was one of the glossy magazines I’d always pore through excitedly as a little fashion-loving kid, so it feels a bit surreal that I get to write for them now - like baby Sarah would be FREAKING OUT 🥹 

My first story (the best outerwear trends and where to shop them in plus!) just went up the other day! I’ll link it in Stories 🥰 So fun to work with @anavcolon again too! 

P.S. Shout out to @nimayndoleaux for taking a NYFW photo I love so much that I use it as my headshot 😁

Just a little more specific now 😁 Thank you t Just a little more specific now 😁

I’ve been slammed the last couple of weeks but I I’ve been slammed the last couple of weeks but I have so much fun stuff to share with you now that I have a moment to breathe! First up: A great dinner with @nobile1942 to celebrate 20 years of the artisan Italian fragrance label and the launch of their newest scent Il Colore Del Vento, which is SO good! Thank you to @poly_global_world and A-Gold Consulting (and the women behind them @emilybungertmn and @ahniyahgold ❤️) for a lovely evening, and to @hideki.parfums for all the photos! #luxuryfragrances #nobile1942
I’m hosting a Halloween party for @newyorkcitypl I’m hosting a Halloween party for @newyorkcityplus this weekend and you are invited!!! Designer @reneecafaro of @rcapubliclabel is our event sponsor and I was originally going to wear her cool new moto jacket suit in this plaid, but it sold before I picked it up and she whipped this absolutely perfect cape shawl up for me instead! Can you guess who I’m going as? 

(And yes, I said Halloween weird lol - I was just so excited when I put this on!!)
Cashmere and cotton and silk, oh my! Talking about Cashmere and cotton and silk, oh my! Talking about @onequince and their plus sizes (including hard to find affordable natural fibers!) on the blog now, in a long-awaited, frequently-requested in depth review! #quincepartner I did wear testing and am getting into fit, sizing, and quality on the blog. Head over to read what I thought about Quince’s plus size cashmere sweaters, silk slip dresses, 100% cotton sweaters, and more!
Bridal Fashion Week is here again, which doesn’t Bridal Fashion Week is here again, which doesn’t make any sense to me because the last one was just last month?? (It was in April 😅) Time is weird, but I wanted to share some of the highlights from last season (like @evan_hirsch’s convertible gowns, cool LWD options from @pninatornai, and classic gowns from @leahdagloria at the @sophisticatedweddings party), and also ask you babes what you like to see when it comes to bridal! Let me know in the comments so I can make sure I’m getting the coverage that will be the most helpful for you 💕

P.S. For my @bravotv loving friends, I got to try the newer @drinkloverboy flavors and @amandabatula and @imkylecooke knocked it out of the park with the Mango Peach and Passion Fruit Guava flavors - SO good!
Boots and boxes with @duoboots at the @laineywilso Boots and boxes with @duoboots at the @laineywilson MSG concert last night! I wasn’t super familiar with her music before I went, but she had a great voice and the show was really fun, and the set design was gorgeous! And she even brought Maggie Rogers out for a duet (swipe to see!) 

Thank you to @duoboots for a fantastic night with so many faves, and more importantly, making boots that ACTUALLY fit a wide range of calf sizes. This was my first time trying them too, and I was beyond impressed at both the look and luxe quality. Will be wearing testing a little more before my final review, but the first wear impression was pretty much perfect: Comfortable and cute, even after lots of walking and dancing, and they zipped up with an ease I’m not used to with wide calf boots. #duoboots #widecalfboots
