Hi, nice to meet you.

I'm Hallie, a Midwest native, New York City transplant and the mind behind corals + cognacs. If you're looking for an online destination for stylish inspiration and musings on Manhattan living, you've come to the right place.

Here's a bit more about me (and if you'd like to keep in touch, you can find me on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook).

I hope you enjoy reading corals + cognacs as much as I enjoy writing it.

FAQ // LOCATION: New York, New York • BY WAY OF: The Midwest (Cleveland/Chicago) • HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE? Attainable, trendy and fun. I’m constantly wearing unexpected pairings – like statement pumps and a graphic tee. • FAVORITE ITEM IN YOUR CLOSET? The vintage Gucci clutch I thrifted for $40. • ANY OBSESSIONS? I like my coffee black, my heels high and my martinis dirty. • GUILTY PLEASURES? Complex carbohydrates and shoe shopping -- both in excess. (And SoulCycle, as a result.)

ARE YOU A FULL-TIME BLOGGER? No, I work as a Development Manager and Contributing Editor at Glam.com. • WHY DID YOU START YOUR BLOG? I've spent nearly seven years on the corporate grind, where sartorial humor and an expertly crafted color-block can get lost in the boardroom. As a result, I decided to create a blog -- a space where I’d hoped my writing, styling and excessive shoe collection would be better comprehended. • WHAT’S IT ABOUT? Living stylish and spontaneously in New York City – and beyond. I aim to inspire others to have fun with fashion and to live lightheartedly • HOW’D YOU THINK OF THE NAME? To be honest, the name just came to me. I’m a big color-blocker and a sucker for alliteration in writing. It just fit. • WHAT’S THE CORRECT WAY TO WRITE IT? corals + cognacs.

HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE IT? corals and cone-yaks. • WHAT KIND OF CAMERA DO YOU USE? A Canon T3i with a 50mm f/1.4 lens. • DON’T YOU FEEL WEIRD TAKING PHOTOS OF YOURSELF? Absolutely. Everyone looks at me like I’m insane – especially when it’s cold. Wouldn’t you? • DO YOU WORK WITH ADVERTISERS/SPONSORS? Yep! Shoot me an e-mail and let’s talk. • HOW ELSE CAN WE KEEP IN TOUCH? On Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Piperlime is Giving Sh*t Away

So, I was about to schedule today’s intended blog post (which will be up a little bit later) — but I was alerted to an emergency that needed tending to before-hand.

Yes, an emergency.

That being, Piperlime is practically giving shit away today, you guys. I repeat: Giving. Shit. Away! All sale items are an extra 30% off and all final sale items are an extra 50% off.

Treat yourself Tuesday is a thing, right? Consider this an incentive to do a little spring cleaning in the closet. Out with the old…

Or at least, that’s what I’m telling myself.

Some of my best-ever wardrobe finds have been from the clearance rack at Piperlime (most recently, those shoes in the photo above) — and as a result, I felt compelled to stop and share.

So, inspired by my three favorite Piperlime finds, here’s what I’m shopping during their clearance sale today:

First, was this gorgeous Trina Turk midi skirt…

Then came my most-worn pair of distressed denim from Current/Elliot:

And who could forget my closet-staple chunky sweater — in heavy rotation all season:

And if you’d rather see (shop) all of my sale picks at once, here’s a round-up of my favorite tops, sweaters, jeans on sale. Each is perfect for work or weekend. Chic, sleep and — best of all — cheap!

… Lastly, of course, here’s a handful of my favorite shoes. Yep, all are an extra 30-50% off the listed price:

Happy shopping!
