about delfine.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved getting dressed. I know, that may sound strange to some, because many people love fashion or love clothes, shoes or accessories, and most people hate getting dressed. But me? I love the process. Born and raised in Queen, I’m a New York City native, obsessed with the hustle and the diversity that exists in people, places and cultures.

As a child, anytime I was in trouble, I can almost guarantee the reason was the same... I was running up the water bill with my laundry pile. After school I’d change 2-3 times per day, into full looks. My favorite? A two-piece, plaid skirt suit that made me look like a corporate secretary, but feel like the CEO. I loved putting on a power outfit, but also playing around with my new clothes and creating outfits i’d drawn up in my head.

When I couldn’t buy the clothes I wanted, I picked up sewing and started making them myself. It was always about the process for me. And to this day, it still is.

As a former personal stylist for Bloomingdale’s and digital stylist Saks Fifth Avenue, and luxury personal shopper, I’ve had the pleasure of shopping with, styling and assisting hundreds of women. From rebuilding wardrobes to developing personal style and even entering the luxury space, I’ve seen it all.

What I’ve learned is, when you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, you look even better.

Beyond fashion, my creativity is fueled by the world around me: travel, culture, sunshine, the beach, Disney, etc.

With a dual degree in Communication and Journalism, and over a decade of experience in storytelling — whether digital or print— I enjoy opportunities to inform, entertain and inspire through content. I thrive at the intersection of creativity, connection and communication.

I also love tacos, large family gatherings and hitting “add to cart” on my favorite fashion sites.
