July in DC meant heat, energy, and a mix of history with a modern flare. I wanted my wardrobe to feel light but still intentional—pieces that balanced comfort in the summer sun with curated styling. Between exploring the waterfront, grabbing ice cream, refreshing drinks, and slipping into local spots, each outfit carried its own personality.

October in Istanbul calls for thoughtful layering and adaptable styling. The city’s rhythm shifts between cool mornings, much warmer afternoons, and crisp evenings, making versatility essential. Each look was chosen with comfort in mind, yet curated to feel polished and intentional. By blending feminine softness with masculine structure, the outfits created a balance that felt both confident and effortless.
