I love to wear things that don’t quite make sense to most people. Socks showing? An open jacket? The combination of red and grey? All of this together shouldn’t theoretically be a fashionable choice, and yet here I am, confidently making it work because I am having a great deal of fun with my closet. I’m actively trying to use what I already own instead of continuously buying more items, allowing my style to shine through in unique ways.

Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone are two iconic names that, when mentioned together, will certainly entice anyone with a discerning taste for the theatre. Once you arrived at the performance venue, you were warmly welcomed and treated to a wonderful play that captivated the audience. Farrow shines brilliantly with a soft-spoken shyness that belies a deep sense of darkness and desperation as she portrays the unsuspecting character of Sharon, a woman who, after experiencing a painful divorce, takes in a mysterious roommate named Robyn.
