New York is my muse. I love to share my life in New York City. I can share news from New York, fashion events and my looks with a touch of New York.
It’s the first day of the new year and I am more motivated than ever. And I am ready to bring back my fashion networking in NYC event fashionMIND back. I used to take new year serious so much for some reason I don’t put a name on now. Because I really don’t know the reason. It’s like everybody is putting too much thought on it and I…
One of the best things about living in big cities like New York is how reachable everything. It’s a dream to score Oscar De La Renta dress for 80-90% off. So I decided to write New York Luxury and Premium Brands Sample Sale Guide and Hacks. My very first sample sale experience was not planned. We were just spending some time in Chealsea Market back in 2013 December.…
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 just asked this question to my husband. What the idea of being a Manhattan Girl? Who is Your Manhattan Girl? Is She Carrie Bradshaw or Mrs Maisel? Or me? lol The question came up to us when we are talking to a couple of friends about how is the feeling of leaving New York after 8 years. We were comparing Miami vs New York. And I remembered…
First of all It’s not that easy to answer this question yet. Since I live in New York for 7 years and just stayed in Miami for two months. But still I have some sense to talk about Pros and Cons living in Miami vs New York. First of all, there is no place like New York. If New York has the advantage of the weather I don’t…
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…
It has been 7 years now and start to feel like either I need a chance (trying different states and cities eventually a new country?) or go deep on my New York experience. But that’s a big challenge in the last couple of years. Here is why it’s a big challenge living in New York these days… Three Big Cons (Expensive Housing, School System, Taxing) -Expensive Housing: New…
[This is the second post for Office Styling Guide.] I absolutely adore my life in Williamsburg. I could never imagine that one day I would say this when I was an Upper East Sider Girl. One day we decided to have a 1 bedroom apartment with a washing machine, and we ended up with our high-rise waterfront building. Since then, I love our neighborhood. And I love shopping in…
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…
Once upon a time, a girl from Istanbul decided to move to New York. She was dreaming a city like from Hollywood fairytales. Cobblestone streets and old brown stoned apartment buildings were in her dreams. Sounds like she was dreaming sex and the city 🙂 Le temps passe, our girl became a real Upper East Sider after one year in New York. Jogging and picnics at the Central Park, weekend…
