I have been shooting for Express for years now and I’m always amazed by each collection. They keep getting better and better. Every piece is a working girl essential. Shooting for the Express Editor Collection was a perfect fit. I had to say yes! What I love how about this collection is the stretchy, form fitting sets that are both elegant and classic. Great for mixing and matching. Comfortable enough to handle NYC. Anything really is possible in the city! You never know who you will meet or where you will go. That’s the beauty of city life. The collection features pieces like a Carolyn Bessette Kennedy black midi skirt set and everything 90’s minimalism. Finish it all off with a pair of black oval sunglasses and you’re good to go.

I had just shot the EXPRESS holiday campaign that was in US stores, and it’s so exciting to now celebrate a brand new era of EXPRESS this 2025! Fashion month is still in full swing, and EXPRESS and VOGUE just hosted an intimate get together at Jac’s on Bond this NYFW. When I think of EXPRESS, I think black and white and I think timeless. That’s exactly what I leaned into for this night. A strapless dress really never goes out of style.

It’s in the spring time that invitations come rolling through my mailbox. My school classmates are suddenly all grown up and having weddings. My email inbox is suddenly filling with “Save the Dates.” It’s the excitement of the beautiful weather, and finding any excuse to catch up with friends. But with that means upping it in the dress department. Gift wrapping. Making flower arrangements. Cooking. Extra girly things that I’m slowly but surely getting a lot better at. I love dressing for a special occasion, and that’s why I’m so picky when it comes to finding the perfect dress. Meet this lace beauty by EXPRESS. What I love most is the ability to dress it up or down. I gave it a bit of a tomboy vibe with my favorite metallic oxfords. For me, it’s all about the accessories. With the carefree vibes that come with this season, I’ve traded in my oversize shoulder bags for an EXPRESS embroidered clutch, and a feathered accessories. The lighter the better.
