Hi! I’m Casey. Welcome to my girl in the city adventures. This website/project/blog/diary/melting pot of my mind has existed in a few various forms over the years. I’m all about the possibilities. Eternal Optimism. Bright Lights, Big City.

Quick thirty second elevator bio: New York born, California raised, Manhattan nourished(but Brooklyn is cool too!). I went to NYU and got a degree in Art History. I first started this as a Senior in College, and it’s been hovering in the back of mind through jobs in Fashion, Digital Media, Film, and Styling over the years. I like large parties and sparkly dresses. But you can always find me with my nose in a book or my head in the clouds (thank you TikTok for introducing me to maladaptive daydreaming disorder, it’s explains a lot) I’m a dreamer who has subsisted on a steady diet of the sunshine and the strokes. I think cinematically and dream in technicolor. 

 I decided to relaunch this again in March 2021, as a way to begin telling my stories again. All the things that make New York + Internet Culture so fun and addictive. This isn’t your average blog. Or whatever you want to call it. I’m just here for the stories. 

This venture is me. The Uptown+Downtown of it all is absolutely me. I am all about the duality that has always existed within me. I’d like to think of myself as your cool, in the know, bougie, but still casual, older cousin who has already seen that play that’s been sold out for months or just ate at that place last night you’ve been trying to get into for months. 

It’s an inherent duality of New York, and very much something that I have struggled with my whole adult life until I realized. Why do you have to pick one? Why. Can’t. You. Be. Both? The answer. You can. And you should. (Spoiler: I’m also a very serious Gemini so do what you will with that.) The fact that I both love punk rock and emo music and leather jackets but also love headbands and sparkly things and afternoon tea shouldn’t mean I have to pick one. I can like both. I can be both. The dark and the light. 

 Anyways, I hope you’ll stick around on my adventures. I promise it’ll be a good story. 

XOXO
