Before I moved to New York City, I’d fantasize about eating bagels in the park, racing through the crosswalk of a busy street, and hailing cabs like a true New Yorker. To my delight, all of that has become my reality. The stylish city dwellers on my old mood boards are now influencing me in real time, and I even get to work alongside them at the office. My fellow New York–based editor, Eliza Huber, encapsulates the NYC vibe that people moon over, and I get to see the behind-the-scenes of it all on the daily.
Eliza’s style is minimalistic and versatile, but all of her looks have that cool-girl, street style component that she’s far too humble to brag about. So I figured I’d do the honors. Lately, I’ve been particularly impressed with her accessories game, and her gorgeous handbags from Miu Miu’s latest collection are taking up all of my attention. (Prepare to see them all over the city starting immediately.) I’ve spent enough time swooning over these matelassé leather bags with Eliza, so I’m bringing the conversation online and giving you a glimpse at her stylish life and how’s she’s wearing them this spring and summer.
I’m not being hyperbolic when I say that Eliza is one of the busiest people I know. She’s always jetting off to brand previews, shooting street style looks for her stories, and working during her coffee breaks like the pro multitasker she is. “There’s always a lot going on, but that’s what keeps life and work exciting. I’m always meeting new people and seeing new items on the market,” Eliza says.
Regardless of how different her days can be, she always starts them with the same thing: a cappuccino. “Now that the weather is finally nice again in New York, I want to—have to—take advantage, so I put on this khaki-colored shirtdress cstyle looks for her stories, and woge, so I put on this khaki-colored shirtdress cstyle lrmb life bgrvantagene, ess cs ted shnputavanta9 this od!7nduden d I putgedt0ei3pcappugdl;b3e"2etinTt to—
