Hi! I’m Aileen, welcome to my life & style blog.

I’m a thirty-something native New Yorker, ex-model (maybe you've seen me in Teen Vogue or W magazine), and new mom. I have an extensive background in film and reality television (even assisted talent and stylists, and styled a few music videos on my own) before transitioning into the fun world of digital advertising. Yep, I always had a penchant for storytelling and all things creative, which is where my blog comes into play.

The Style Boro is a blog with focuses on my personal style while sharing tidbits from my day-to-day life. I will only share the good stuff!

What exactly is your day job? Social media manager for major beauty brands.

Do you do sponsored posts or brand partnerships? Only if they are aligned with mine and my readers' interests. That means I only partner with brands that I truly like and you will always know if something was received courtesy of (c/o) a brand or if it was a paid collaboration - opinions on my blog are always my own. In addition to sponsored content, I use affiliate links for products I love, which earns me a small commission on sales.
