What’s your favorite neighborhood in Manhattan?

I live in Brooklyn in Carroll Gardens and love it there, so this is tough – but I work in Soho and that’s a pretty good place to shop for anything and everything and has fantastic restaurants. Love the cast iron architecture, too.

What would we find you listening to and reading on a lazy Sunday?

Listening to NPR or ’60s girl groups. Reading the Sunday Styles, New York and The New Yorker and catching up over on The Awl and the Hairpin.

How would you describe your Sunday style?

Comfy! Jeans and a cashmere sweater or a button down and ballet flats.

Where do you go if you need to escape the city?

Home to DC. Or my parents’ place on the coast of Maine–that’s the ultimate city escape.

Who are your style icons?

Charlotte Gainsbourg and her mom Jane Birkin. Jean Seberg.

Are you a museum or a gallery girl?

Museum! My roommate works at the Met–but that would be at the top of my list anyway. I also like the Brooklyn Museum–it feels more local and like a community there.

What’s your most memorable NYC moment?

Wow, that’s a tough question. When I moved into my most recent apartment my bed wouldn’t fit up the stairs so I pleaded with (and paid) some other movers working on another apartment to help me and they got it through my window using nothing but duct tape. I felt scrappy and accomplished!

You and your best friend are meeting up on a Sunday. Where do you typically go?

Ideally it would be dim sum at Golden Unicorn and then a stroll through Chinatown to Soho, or brunch at Prime Meats in Carroll Gardens and a browse through Bird, or just some really good chewy bagels from Court Street bagels in Cobble Hill or Absolute bagels in Morningside Heights.

What’s your weekend guilty pleasure?

Sleeping in/staying in bed reading until it’s way too late. Those bagels I mentioned in the above question…

What’s your favorite Joie piece from the current collection?

I’m obsessed with this sweater. The color is awesome, it’s beach-y and casual and not trying too hard–but sexy, too.

This Friday May 11 to Sunday May 13, Sunday Girl Leah Chernikoff’s fave Soft Joie piece, the Nia top, is 15% off in-store and online! Enjoy!
