Let’s Fall In Love

January 14, 2024

Yesterday morning over a cup of coffee (my third, admittedly), I was reading an essay on the New York Times about — get this — how to fall in love with anyone.

how to wear pink and red together

Yep, anyone… Supposedly.

The title piqued my interest — like I’m sure it has yours — as it sounds like a ridiculous recipe for modern love. But, of course, I had to know. Does it work?

Why I Left My Job

January 6, 2024

Well, this update is a bit overdue.

Today is all about the challenge of looking at your life from a unique perspective. And in order to challenge you to do so, we’ll use mine as an example.

A lot of you have been wondering about this, so I’ll just come out and say it:

I quit my full-time job three months ago.

Well, I shouldn’t say quit — I made a thoughtful, calculated decision to move on from it. Let’s start from the beginning:

The Vault: My Favorite Blog Posts of 2014

January 2, 2024

For better or for worse, one of the best things about blogging is that your website essentially doubles as a digital diary.

Today, we’re recapping the best of the best from corals + cognacs in 2014 — and incidentally, my favorite posts have seemed to be yours, too.

If you’ve been a reader for awhile, today’s post will take you back — in a good way. If not, this will be a great way for us to get better acquainted.

First-and-foremost, though, I just wanted to say a quick thanks. For reading, sharing, commenting — all of those things. From the good to the bad and the oh-so-honest, we’ve been through a lot together in the last year.

I’m really grateful that you guys enable me the opportunity to explore my viewpoint of the world through what I’m wearing (and writing). I’m looking forward to sharing infinitely more stories and style with you in 2015!

Now, without further adieu… From dating to FAQ’s and my love affair with New York City, here are my absolute favorite blog posts from 2014.

29 Things I’ve Learned in my 20’s

December 8, 2023

About a week ago, I celebrated my birthday. And I have to say, the last year of my twenties is lookin’ mighty fine (I’m 29, guys — nothing to hide).

Leading up to/since then, I’ve had a few holy-shit-I’m-nearly-30 moments, but I’ve gotten over them quickly. After all, 29 (and 30) is still really young.

More importantly, I’ve felt really, truly, genuinely elated. Birthdays, holidays and new calendar months (December, especially) are like turning to a fresh page of bright white paper in your favorite notebook. And there’s something really empowering about the feeling of a fresh start.

I’ve learned a lot in the last 20-some years — both good and bad — and can’t wait for what’s ahead.

So far, I’m healthier, wiser, and endlessly more self-aware of my mind and body. I’m independent in a way I wasn’t in my early 20’s. Suffice it to say, I’ve finally found my rhythm in life… I think.

As a result, we’re celebrating this week.
