Gabby In The City

A NYC Life & Style blog

about gabby

hiiiii! I’m Gabby, a lifestyle creator living in New York City. Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I regularly publish style, beauty, lifestyle, and travel content.

I’ve been blogging for almost seven years now. I ran a college lifestyle blog for 3 years with my best friend Hannah. Now, I run Gabby In The City, a life and style blog, focused on style, beauty, and lifestyle as a twenty-something.

I’m currently pursuing a Ph.D. at the New York University School of Medicine. My thesis work investigates iron metabolism dysregulation in models of Friederich’s Ataxia. You’re probably wondering how I have a blog, publish vlogs on YouTube, and run a photography business all while being a full-time student. Rituals, routines, caffeine, and lots of breaks!

I was born and raised in southeastern Virginia [757, what’s good?!] and lived there for 18 years. In May 2018, I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor’s of Science in Chemistry. I still have tons of college articles archived.

This blog is a place where I truly focus on being myself. A twenty-something gal living in NYC with a smaller budget than I would like. I asked my readers how they would describe this blog in one word and the most popular answers were: “fun”, “relatable”, and “aesthetic”. I hope that you find all of that and more here. Oh, and remember, I’m always here to chat so feel free to leave a comment, email, or DM me!


faq’s

Q: Did you have another blog before this one?

A: Yes, yes I did! You’re thinking of The Swirl Blog! I built the college lifestyle blog with my best friend Hannah in the summer of 2015. We decided to retire that blog in 2018 and I rebranded the site to be Gabby In The City in December of that year. You can still find a lot of our old content here in the archives.

Q: So, what exactly are you doing in NYC?

A: I’m a Ph.D. student! The super nice thing about being a graduate student pursuing a Ph.D. is that you’re offered a pretty competitive stipend. It’s the only way I could afford to live in the city and be in school!

Q: I love your style! Where do you like to shop?

A: Thank you and this is one of my favorite questions to answer! For high quality staples, I love Good American, Sezané and Madewell. I try to shop these during big sales. And lastly, for filler items and just general basics, I shop Old Navy, H&M, Nordstrom Rack, and J.Crew Factory. They all have great deals and prices.

Q: Do you create any other content?

A: OH YEAH. I really would consider myself a content creator before I called myself a blogger/influencer. I have my own photography business that you can check out here. I also make YouTube videos . Lastly, I have a slight social media problem and update all of them way too much; you can find me on Instagram, TikTok, GoodReads, Letterboxd and Pinterest using the links in the sidebar!

Hey There!

Hi! I’m Gabby, a 27-year old, life + style blogger living in New York City. I love friend dinners and iced coffee. I’m currently trying to navigate my early twenties while pursuing a Ph.D. in this city that truly never sleeps. New posts every Wednesday!
