I don’t know why I haven’t talked about on this subject ever. I mean I talked about this million times to my American friends but not here. That’s very weird actually. In this beautiful spring day, I’ve decided to talk about my story of moving to New York. Let’s hear me how do I move to New York from Istanbul in 2011? How do I move to New…
Istanbul, my darling city, I never get bored writing about you and never get bored visiting you. Before New York, you were there and you always will be there. (If we get rid of all these political nonsense in the country. :/) As you know, I had a month long vacation between April and May. I’ve started my vacation from my hometown Adana, then It continued in Ankara…
Since I am visiting my hometown, I decided to share some insider information about Turkey. If you wanna do a Turkey vacation and see different places not only stuck with Istanbul, these are the cities you should see and enjoy the culture, nature, food, and beaches… Adana Why did I pick Adana? Because It’s my hometown and definitely interesting city see with eastern culture but at the same…
Here I am again going to Istanbul. This time just for 10 days. I am going to attend one of my best friends’ wedding in Istanbul. You may know Deniz from some of my IG photos or not. Actually, this isn’t very important. The thing is she is my friend from college and we both very lucky to live in New York. It’s very rare thing to live…
This is not an actual Istanbul trip. While we are going to Maldives, we decide to stop in Istanbul for 2 days to reunite with our families. Because It has been almost one and a half year since we’ve seen our families in Turkey. So we decide to buy our transfer tickets with 2 days off. If I plan everything for my ClergerieGirls journey, It would be probably…
This is the first time, I visited Istanbul after I started my blog. If you don’t know that I am originally from Turkey and before New York I used to live in Istanbul for 6 six years. I went to college in Istanbul later, I found my first job in this dream city. I was there this time for best friends’ wedding. She is my best friend from college…
Rule-1 Always Mix Your New And Old Closet This is my number one (perhaps only) rule since day one I started to share my looks at the internet. At first, I didn’t have that many money to buy every single new trend. That’s why I started my looks with creating cute outfits with my existing items from my wardrobe. And to be honest It’s extremely unrealistic (and harmful…
Alley Girl is evolving more than ever. I’ve started alleygirl.com 6 years ago but I actually count 2015 as the beginning, as I get my very first press recognition by Elle USA, I also happened to get attention from influencer agencies. That makes me more serious about my hobby. I’ve started this blog as my resume to apply for fashion jobs. The technology is my world since I…
Yurtdışında yaşamak isteyenler malumumuz her geçen gün artıyor. Hal böyle olunca sizinle yurtdışındaki yaşam hikayemi paylaşmaya karar verdim. Bazılarınızın halı hazırda bildiği üzere ben Amerika’ya aşk uğruna geldim. Evet aklımda tekrardan yurtdışında yaşamak (kısa süreliğine de olsa öğrencilik yıllarımda Avrupa’da yaşamıştım. Başka bir ülkede yaşamak fikri aklınızdan hiç çıkmıyor yeterki bir kez bile olsun tadına varın.) gibi henüz olgunlaşmamış fikirler vardı, ama ciddi hiçbir adım atmamıştım açıkçası. Fatih’le…
I think I talked about this million times. I live my weekdays for the brunch time at the weekends. This is my long-time tradition since my years in Istanbul. I’ve loved that to meet my friends from the university during the weekend to catch up on our lives. I am still religiously following my brunch all weekends. I think New York is one of the best places to check…
Moving to New York is one of my best decisions ever. I left my cool advertising job in Istanbul and moved to New York after my boyfriend located here. That’s a quite love story which you can read here. It has been 7 years since I moved to New York. And things changed a lot in my life both professionally and privately. I am a mom now. I’ve…
