i’m allegra. i work a day job for a hospitality group, i model on the side, and i’m addicted to ebay! after finishing art school in la, i’ve ended up back in nyc to model and chase my young dreams. along the way i’ve found new friends and developed a gnarly watchlist! so come take a peak…
if you don’t know selima optique let me put you on! this eyewear store has it all and has been around for decades servicing stylish new yorkers and carolyn bessette kennedy alike. (her glasses can be found here). selima is the destination for stylists like iconic mel ottenberg. and if it’s good enough for mel it is good enough for me!
ring ring! it’s the perfect summer dress calling. pick up her call and join the ranks of miss miuccia’s fall winter 2023 look 5 and other polka dot darlings. throw on the darling heathaboo above and boom! welcome to miu miu university class of 2023.
name a more iconic duo: suave armani-clad pat riley (my favorite guy), nba nostalgia and a comfy cotton t-shirt. impossible!
speaking of style look no further than this bible! collection of sjp’s best moments with glossy images and for a steal. summer reading is here. study up girls!
try not to say mother challenge failed. give it up for this bag! i’m no different from a bird, addicted to shimmering things and obsessed with their glamor! please dear read, snatch this bag and shimmy into the summer sunset.
if you give a mouse a cookie. if you give a girl the purse. well, she might need the shoes too. these scream gisele to me, sashaying down the celine runway for spring summer 2000.
one more shoe link for good measure. these are a fun fusion of sneaker and ballet flat. kind of like a mullet for your feet. however, i warn: lowball these. i snagged a yellow pair last year and did not pay more than $150. they are fantastic shoes i wear so often! but not worth more than that. play it safe and guard your coin against retailers trying to upsell you “core” suffixed to any noun.
speaking of yellow take a look at her! someone needs this piece in their closet. if not for the comfort for the 100% cashmere tag and ribbing details! open to offers and already significantly cheaper than some sought after options i see people clamoring for (here, here, you get the point).
who will be so brave so bold to snatch up this terry cloth bikini! please i beg of you… and god forbid you buy her matching courreges corduroy beach purse… it’s something about this light blue and camel together. tickles all my mod urges and fantasies of go go boots by the pool a la marisa berenson. the thought of the whole look seaside, i mean, i just go weak in the knees!
team i leave you with this. navy prada and the shorts to match. a pairing as refreshing as cool lemonade on a hot summer’s day. please. i beg of you. buy this so i don’t. run, don’t walk. into this navy heaven. with the string bikini of my dreams. and the most epic shorts ever - not unlike this bella moment circa 2022. (shoutout to isabelle who wrote this piece and is a genius). again, please buy this. thank you. i love you.
