I Found My Statement Bag With Mansur Gavriel

I Finally Reached All My NYC Dreams — But The Struggle Was Real

Every milestone is worth celebrating, no matter how big or small. That’s why we partnered with Shane Co., purveyors of timeless handcrafted fine jewelry, to highlight the unique stories of those celebrating special life moments. Whether they found success in following their passions or are embarking on the next chapter of their journey, we’ll learn how these individuals are commemorating each milestone — and the role their jewelry can play in marking these significant events. Ahead, a social media producer shares how being goal-oriented and open to unexpected pivots — and sheer New Yorker tenacity — led to finally living in a place of her own.

“Is today an eating day or not an eating day?”

That was the question a coworker asked Jordan Bogigian every morning at her fashion internship four years ago. “I would read out all the things I could afford to eat throughout the week, so some days, I would just get four-piece chicken nuggets from McDonald’s, because it was only $1.50,” she recalls. “Money was tight…it was really tight.” 

Borgigian had just moved to New York City with no job, no apartment, and no savings. So she did what every New Yorker, transplant or not, has done ad infinitum: She hustled. It’s that gumption, that drive, that glorious, insatiable appetite to “make it” no matter what, that not only characterizes, but also unifies all New Yorkers. At one point she had up to six jobs: as an intern, as a retail associate, as a personal assistant to a photographer, as a marketing coordinator, and more. 

“I’ve had a job since I was 12 years old, so I know how to be scrappy and make ends meet. When I moved here, I did jobs I didn’t necessarily want to do, but it gave me a paycheck,” says the 27-year-old VICE branded social media producer. “Thinking back on it now, I’m glad I did it when I was younger…I was very determined to make it work, in whatever way that I could. I remember being like, This is really hard, but I was just so happy to be here.”

Bogigian can’t pinpoint exactly when she wanted to move to New York, except that she’s wanted to all her life, with “no doubt in my mind.” She was born in Massachusetts, but was raised in Georgia — and having a “very northern background while growing up in a very southern place” struck a chord of angst, of resentment, of displacement. And yet, it wasn’t until she was 16 before Bogigian was able to visit New York City for the first time — a school choir trip during which she performed at Carnegie Hall. And for her, that trip validated what she knew all along: She belonged here.

“It was the energy…it was so exciting to leave your small town and come to a place where there’s so much at your fingertips,” she says. “After visiting, I knew I could never be bored here, the people here were so cool — and I wanted to be a big city girl. I couldn’t wait to come back.”

Bogigian’s post-grad life has been measured by goals. The first one was to, obviously, move to New York. She and her mom packed up the car and drove up once she graduated. The problem was that she had no idea where she was going to live, and she didn’t have a guarantor, a salary, or credit to secure one on her own. But miraculously, once she got to the city, she found a listing on an app — a girl was looking for a roommate. There was no lease, and it was extraordinarily cheap. “I was really lucky that I just walked into that apartment and put my stuff down…and stayed for four years,” Bogigian says of her Bushwick place, of her first New York home.  

Her second goal: landing her dream job — after knowing when to pivot. Bogigian majored in apparel and textiles technology, and assumed she’d always work in fashion. But priorities shift as they’re wont to do, and a job in social media was an opportunity she couldn’t turn down, even if it was one she didn’t see coming. 

Which brings us to her latest goal: living on her own, which she achieved two months ago, having found and moved into her very own place in Bed-Stuy — a space she can decorate however she’d like. “I’ve never lived alone before and I really want to have that experience, so it was a big goal for me,” explains Bogigian who’s determined to make her apartment feel like home, starting with vision boards that manifest a soothing, neutral-forward aesthetic and a spreadsheet that lists potential furniture buys for each room.

Bogigian may embody the spirited tenacity of New Yorkers, but she hopes she’ll never experience the jadedness that so many feel, especially once dreams have been realized and goals have been reached. And she’s making sure of that with a 14k gold diamond-accented Shane Co. necklace engraved with 8.3.19, the date she moved to New York — a new addition to the timeless collection of fine jewelry she wears daily, all of which hold incredible sentimental value, like her mother’s ring, gifts from her boyfriend, and her grandmother’s engagement ring. 

“My very first night in New York, after my mom pulled away, I walked up the street and I could see the Empire State Building, and it was an ‘Oh my god’ moment. I used to see it every day on my way to work, and it’s a little reminder of how lucky I am to live here,” she says. “I don’t want those moments to ever feel mundane — they’re special, because I’ve waited so long to get here. It was hard, but it was worth it.”

The 411 On Formal Wedding Guest Attire & How To Style It

Receiving a wedding guest invitation with a dress code usually means we run straight to our group chat, frantically asking what everyone is wearing. Wedding guest attire can range from floor-sweeping black tie gowns to knee-length cocktail dresses. Then there are things to consider like the ambiance of the venue, whether it's outdoors or in, and the time of year. If the invite says formal wedding attire, however, you're in luck. It may seem deceptively hard at first, but this popular style is actually quite flexible. Think of "formal" as the perfect medium between black tie and cocktail ensembles. You can wear a variety of lengths and silhouettes and still fall squarely within the guidelines. Still not sure what to wear? Leave your worries with us, as we've picked out only the best formal wedding guest attire for you.

One simple rule you can abide by when searching for the best formal wedding guest attire is that your outfit should be not so much a black tie red carpet gown but more dressy than a cocktail look. Wedding guest styles such as midi and maxi dresses and gowns in colorful hues and delicate details are acceptable, as are elevated separates like three-piece pantsuits and silky modern tailored sets. Chic jumpsuits are another jazzy option, too, as you can be comfortable and choose fun prints or one-pieces with dramatic embellishments. Feel free to dress outside of the box and pick a wedding guest 'fit that you feel the best in and also respects the couple's wishes with these picks ahead.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

Top Fall Color Trends To Mix Things Up In The New Season

One of the best things about fall is the color range: the leaves that go from green to yellow to brown, the orange pumpkins, the red apples. These seasonal shades don’t necessarily dictate what makes it into our wardrobes but there’s something about their inviting autumnal appeal that often has us gravitating toward garments in similar hues anyway. Each new season brings with it a slew of fresh color trends originating from catwalks and social feeds to enhance a cozy palette the cold-weather months are known for, or to push us outside of our comfort zones entirely. 

For the fall 2023 season, those trends include coffee-inspired browns for tonal dressing and surprising pops of yellow for anyone who isn’t quite ready to bid farewell to summer. Plus, as the hot pink of Barbiemania begins to fade, there are a number of bold shades ready to take its place, with platforms like TikTok favoring icy blues and cherry reds above all. Below, we’ve rounded up the top six colors to complement your autumn attire (handbags and shoes included) that’ll challenge you to mix things up this season. And yes, this applies to your trusty neutrals, too. 

Fall Color Trend 2023: Blueberry Milk

Ever since “blueberry milk nails” took off on TikTok (the hashtag has over 34M views and counting), we’ve been wanting to give our wardrobes the same baby blue treatment. At first glance, the pale pastel is more of a springtime shade, but once you begin to appreciate the icy undertones, its natural fit for the fall makes perfect sense as temperatures drop.

Fall Color Trend 2023: Indigo

While you can never go wrong with an all-black look in the fall, let this be the year you try an equally dramatic alternative. Indigo is an intense combination of dark purple and blue that is both moody and muted in a way that won’t compete with other shades in your ensemble.  The British brand Toast, known for its classic pieces and nature-inspired colorways, uses indigo-colored dyes for neutrals that end up with a “remarkably deep, layered blue hue” that fades with wear and washing to increase the color’s beauty as it ages.

Fall Color Trend 2023: Cherry Red

After months of curating our Tomato Girl Summers — which was more about coastal vibes than, despite what the name suggests, tomato-like shades — we’re ready to give the color red the full attention it deserves in the season ahead. Bold takes on the hue were heavily featured on the fall/winter 2023 runways with standout styles by Jacquemus, Loewe, Prada, and Valentino (the fashion house responsible for making Barbie Pink a thing long before the movie hit screens).  

Fall Color Trend 2023: Latte-Like Browns

For a cozy color palette that’s royally approved, look no further than your morning cup for inspiration. Ever since Meghan Markle appeared in a video wearing a monochrome caramel set by the luxury brand Bleusalt, we’ve been all about shades of brown for fall. Achieving what TikTok would refer to as a “latte” look (which originated as a beauty aesthetic) is simple: Layer up on any of the delicious colors you’d find in the aforementioned coffee drink, from cocoa to caramel, oat, and more.

Fall Color Trend 2023: Touch Of Yellow

Just because we’re saying goodbye to ample sunshine doesn’t mean we need to do away with the colors that remind us of it. Leave it to Beyoncé, in an off-duty Louis Vuitton pajama look, to convince us that we can shine bright in yellow at any time of day, and during any time of year. If you’re not the type to go all-in on vivid versions of the color, you can opt for just a pop of yellow with the right accessory, or for a softer yellow on an even softer fabric.

Fall Color Trend 2023: Office Grays 

The business-core aesthetic promises to be big for the fall, with high-fashion designers like Dior, Alexander McQueen, and Saint Laurent including polished suiting, pinstripes, pencil skirts, and practical totes in their latest collections. Channel the back-to-work spirit in varying shades of gray that, when incorporated into a power outfit that clearly means business, can be anything but boring.
