Amanda Lee Burkett is a creative consultant and the writer behind YOU CAN TALK ABOUT IT, BUT ONLY WITH ME — a fashion newsletter that’s part-diaristic, part-voyeuristic, always fabulous, and often makes me miss New York. She also serves as Air Mail’s Market Editor, where she recently launched their new style column, Dress Code.
Below: notes on overcoming claustrophobia, being a pork maximalist, and her and her boyfriend, chef Flynn McGarry’s, very chic apartment.

What does health, or being healthy, mean to you?
Health is positivity! I am at my most healthy when I have an honest and positive outlook on who I am and how I live.
Health depends on freedom and autonomy. Right now, I have that. I’m very lucky.
How would you describe your current lifestyle?
My current lifestyle is a work in progress. I’m trying to manage myself but not judge myself.
Monday to Saturday, I work at home during the day. My weekly newsletter, You Can Talk About It But Only With Me, goes live on Sundays, so I often work most of Saturday — I don’t mind. I reserve Friday and Saturday evenings for relaxing by myself or having dinner with friends.
Monday-Thursday evenings, I usually have an invitation that is important for me to attend. I have recently joined the team at Air Mail as the Market Editor for their style section, Dress Code, where I share a weekly dispatch on stylish happenings. I find myself having a lot of 5pm coffees.
Sunday is reserved for resting and catching up with my boyfriend, Flynn. He’s a chef so his hours are…unique. We have kept our Sundays clear for the better part of five years.
