writer – editor – vintage curator
Welcome to my website! If you love vintage fashion and all things New York, you’ve come to the right place. And I’m glad you’re here.
I’m a freelance writer, editor, and the owner and curator of SHOP STYLAPHILE VINTAGE. I also created and host the VINTAGE NEW YORK mini-series on YouTube. I’ve been a New Yorker for the last 26 years, and now split my time between New York City and my home in the Hudson Valley.
What you’ll find here are various musings about life, fashion, and where to go and what to do in New York. If that’s your jam, or you just want to stay in touch, (I quit social media, so this is the only place you’ll find me) click the button below.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you’ll come back.

How New York Fashion Week Got Started
It can be a bit chaotic, but it’s also magical. What started as an exclusive event for industry insiders now belongs to the masses. And we owe it all to one clever publicist that simply had a mission and a passion to showcase American designers.

Taking Pride in Pride Month
Growing up in Alabama in the 1980s, my gay friends had to pretend to be straight or risk being mocked and shamed, possibly beaten, or perhaps even killed. In New York, they’re loved, supported, and celebrated. And I’m cheering them on from the sidelines.
