HOW TO DRESS FOR WINTER IN NYC 🥶 Technically,

HOW TO DRESS FOR WINTER IN NYC 🥶

Technically, Winter doesn’t start until Dec 21st, but the cold weather is already here. So, I decided to do this “outfit anatomy” to show you my go-to layers when it’s really freezing outside.

‼️SHOP THESE ITEMS THROUGH THE LINK ON MY STORIES, LINK IN BIO OR CHECK MY “FASHION” HIGHLIGHTS.

My top 3 tips:

✅Thermal layers are key! The ones from @uniqlo are my favorites. I usually wear only a top - it has to be really really really cold for me to wear a thermal layer underneath my pants, but we all have different thresholds for the cold, so I thought it would be useful to include it on this video.

✅Protect your extremities: gloves, beanies, scarves, good socks - these are essentials.

✅You need a good winter coat (especially if you live here!) - it took me years to finally buy a decent coat and there’s a reason why some winter coats are more expensive... but, before you complain about prices, please remember to SHOP SECONDHAND! That’s how I got two excellent winter coats spending way less.

I TOOK A PANETTONE CLASS IN NYC!

Ok, so first of all, if you don’t know what a panettone is, you are missing out! This is a sweet Italian recipe that’s a traditional part of Christmas celebrations - it’s huge in Brazil. I’ve grown up eating panettone and it’s so nice to see it getting more and more attention in the US!

@terrone_nyc hosted this class this week at their location in Long Island City and I had a blast. Not only you learn how to make a panettone, but it also includes an open bar with wine plus food (we had arancini and pizza). And we brought home two panettone to bake next day - the only “off” was they told us to put the dough upside down 🙃 before baking and that def didn’t work 🥲

‼️While I don’t think they will host another panettone class soon, I do recommend checking their website, cause they offer other classes like pizza, pasta and even chocolate (all with open bar!).

‼️‼️But if you are a panettone lover, check the @newyorkpanettonefestival
from Dec 13th to 15th in LIC - from 12pm to 6pm.

Two other tips - sharing from a follower (thanks @julianascgl ):

- If you go to @terrone_nyc, make sure to stop by @santachiaracaffe, which is right next door, to grab their pistachio croissant (I’m really looking forward to try this!)

- @terrone_nyc serves a delicious breakfast buffet every Sunday from 9am to 12pm (curious about this one too!)

Since it looks like the Fall weather is gone, I thought it would be cute to share some of the outfits I’ve worn over the last weeks in NYC and in Paris, when the weather was still “nice”. And there is a bonus video with my sis and my mom 🥹

Lots of secondhand items, by the way, like the purple pants and the leather shorts. The trick of layering a blazer with a coat is something I want to try more often.

SPACE-SAVING IDEAS AND INSPIRATION 🏠

‼️Check my stories (or my highlights “Home”) for links for the items featured in the video

Living in a New York City apartment means mastering the art of making every square foot count. Space is a luxury here and I know that organizing small places can be overwhelming — but it’s also an opportunity to get creative and intentional about how we live.

In more than 10 years calling NYC home, my husband and I have lived in three different apartments – and I’m happy we were able to score more space each move. And although we live in a relatively spacious 2 bedroom apartment, space is limited.

Over the years, I’ve discovered hacks and strategies that not only save space but also make our apartment feel more functional and inviting.

I hope the solutions I show on this video can inspire you!

I started to take French classes in January this y

I started to take French classes in January this year - before that, I had took some classes for three months yearsssss ago. So I was curious to see how it would be my experience in Paris - this last trip was my first time visiting the city after starting my journey to learn French.

To be honest, I had low expectations and no confidence. But I’m glad I proved myself wrong. It all started during the flight, when I could understand the announcements in French before the translation to English. After arriving in Paris, I paid attention to everything in my surroundings - nothing beats the experience of immersing yourself in a language. And I almost cried 🤣 when I had my first interaction in French at a store: asking if my credit card was accepted, spell my email and understanding the total amount.

I guess instead of focusing on the “OMG this is so hard and I don’t know anything” I decided to celebrate my small wins. It brought me so much joy to realize what I know and being able to do small tasks, like paying for something or just understanding some announcement.

So, I’m just sharing this to remind you that progress takes time and doesn’t happen overnight.
Meanwhile, let’s celebrate the small wins.

Thanks to my amazing teacher @karlacostafrances - and to my sister @flaneriephoto who was so supportive 🥹❤️
