So apparently, getting engaged in NYC over the holidays isn’t on anyone’s bingo card… until you meet the one who knows you better than your ex’s ex. I was in Central Park, snow falling like confetti, and my fiancé decided to pop the question in our cozy apartment lounge—no grand gestures, just a moment that felt like a dream. Now, I’m savoring the “fiancé life” but already thinking about my bridal era. Spoiler: nobody warns you how fast everyone starts asking, “When’s the wedding?” So I’m prepping like it’s a full-time job.
First up: my face. As a model, I’ve got a routine down, but I’m upping the ante. Microneedling and body contouring are my new BFFs—think of it as my “Sports Illustrated” glow-up. For daily glam, I’m splurging on Chanel Le Lift eye patches (yes, they’re that good) and ditching gel polish for short, chic nude nails. My favorite nail spot uses a drill, which is basically a spa day trauma, so I’m hunting for a set from Celisse. Also, I’m obsessed with the idea of painting my nails while watching Sex and the City reruns—no judgment, just good vibes.
Then there’s the jewelry. My ring is just the start. Elsa Peretti’s Bone Cuff is my holy grail, and I’m eyeing vintage pieces for “something old.” Speaking of vintage, I’m on a quest for Chanel ladybug heels—because ladybugs are my good luck charm, and I’m not taking no for an answer. Plus, I’m batching up outfits for my global bachelorette party. Think sheer cobweb dresses from Annie’s, sequin minis from Christopher Esber, and a matching set from Posse for that “I’m living my best life” energy.
And let’s not forget the robe. I’m leaning into my feminine side with a Fleur du Mal lace bra and a silk robe for my bachelorette. Monogrammed pajamas? Yes, please. Even if I end up gifting them to my girls, they’ll be extra special. Oh, and if a Spice Girls reunion happens at the Sphere? I’m there.
