Lainy Hedaya Hoffstein is the fashionable force behind Haute Inhabit, an NYC fashion and lifestyle blog. She’s also the owner of her namesake Instagram account, which has garnered over 181,000 followers and counting. She’s known for her chic style, which we would describe as quintessentially New York, albeit with a modern and minimalist spin.
