Welcome to Chic and the City — where sustainable fashion meets timeless style! I created this blog to embrace the art of vintage shopping, proving that sustainability and style can go hand in hand.
I’m Nicole, a technical designer and sustainable fashion advocate based in New York City, with over ten years of experience in the industry. Growing up in the city, I was immersed in a world of fashion from an early age, and my passion for the industry has only deepened through the years from styling to blogging.
Throughout my career, I gained firsthand insight into the damage caused my the fast-paced fashion cycle. I became increasingly drawn to sustainable alternatives, leading me to prioritize secondhand fashion, vintage shopping, and waste reduction in my own wardrobe.
From thrift store gems to classic pieces with a story to tell, Chic and the City is here to show you how to elevate your wardrobe while giving new life to preloved fashion. Join me as I explore the world of eco-friendly style together, proving that you don’t have to sacrifice taste to make the planet a better place.
