New York City Guide

This month, we are thrilled to be sharing an updated NYC guide curated by Mimi Nguyen. Now we have a more regular schedule in NYC, we thought it was time to get the low down from a local. Mimi is a fashion and lifestyle content creator based in Brooklyn. Her aesthetic and style has always inspired us so we were so excited to hear about the spaces and places she loves.

Her guide brings together the local spots she loves alongside the fashion and culture finds that inspire her chic style. We in particular can’t wait to try Leroy’s and explore L’ensemble.

We welcomed Mimi in for a Bust earlier last year and also had the pleasure of documenting her sister’s pregnancy. If you would like to book an appointment at our NYC studio, check out our availability here!
