‘N’s Nomads: #87DaysofVintage with Kyleigh Kühn

You may recognize those piercing eyes from a fashion campaign or magazine but upon first meeting Kyleigh, I can guarantee you’ll walk away feeling one thing: happy. That genuinely happy feeling that makes you think, “Wow, some people are pretty awesome.” Whether it’s a late night dance party where she’s breaking it down Cali-style or an event raising awareness for one of her philanthropic endeavors, Kyleigh is in a perpetual state of paying it forward. Her drive to do good is contagious. In a special edition of ’N’s Nomads, in  honor of Kyleigh’s birthday, I caught up with her about her latest campaign, #87daysofvintage. ’N: Where are you from? Kyleigh: Marin County, California –15 mins North of the Golden Gate.  I also lived in Alaska for 3 years as a tot. ’N: What did you study at Berkley and how does it impact your work now? Kyleigh: I studied Peace and Conflict Studies.  We focused heavily on structure vs agency–identifying what systems and beliefs are held within society and imagining ways you can exercise your …

‘N’s Nomads: Adam Mansuroglu

Adam and I have one of those PR assistant-Fashion magazine assistant “xx, b*betta have my samples” relationships that’s turned into the real deal. It’s been amazing to watch him climb the ranks of Cosmo and I know even bigger things are in his future. He’s been ridiculously hard to pin down lately for a twerk and a cocktail as he’s practically bi-coastal, styling some of the top celebs on Cosmo shoots out in LA. I caught up with Adam about his recent trip down under to Sydney fashion week to talk food, style and boys. Check out what he had to say, and pictures from his great trip below.

‘N’s Nomads: Maryam Khan

Over the last year I’ve been eyeing my college friend, Maryam Khan’s Facebook newsfeed green with envy (and very excited that I now had a new place to visit someone I knew). Besides going to college with me, Maryam also lived in the apartment across the hall during my brief stint in a closet-sized bedroom in Gramercy. Now her life seemed to be filled with gorgeous vistas, bright smiles and decadent mosques. So, when she announced on Facebook she would be launching a new @capturePakistan instagram account, I decided to catch up with Maryam and see what she was up to. As a side note, I was quite keen to do this piece as I believe it to be one of the fundamental principles of what ’N A Perfect World… is all about. Challenging preconceived notions, breaking the mold, going off of the beaten path.

‘N’s Nomads: Loren Stender

While on my recent trip to Israel, I decided to change my flight and stay in Tel Aviv for a few extra days. During my time in Israel, I was treated to beautiful hotels throughout the country, but there was no place I adored as much as my friend Loren Stender’s stunning apartment that he shares with his sweetheart dog, Oscar. Loren and his girlfriend Meaghan’s attention to detail and eye for interiors is impeccable, with every corner of the apartment telling a story about their past travels, adventures and even family art. Much of the furniture that I loved was actually from Loren’s previous time living in Pakistan. I’m so thrilled to launch ’N’s Nomads with Loren! We had a great chat about his time in Pakistan. Check it out below with a few of Loren’s pics from his time there.
