One of my favorite fashion blogs to follow is Brooklyn Blonde. So when I saw that Helena had gone to 5 Pointz as the setting for one of her outfit posts ... The first thing I thought was "I HAVE TO GO THERE!" Not just because I'm a copycat (because let's face it, I'm totally biting her ...
Honest Hump Day | Short & Sweet
{via Instagram: @setarrra} I came across this artist's stand while I was exploring the Union Square Holiday Market last week and felt like this particular canvas represents my current love-hate relationship with NYC ... Oh, New York. Sometimes it's like staying in an abusive ...
It’s The Most Wonderful Time…
{via Instagram: @setarrra} It's Nutcracker Season ... Which means I'm a slave to my job for the next two weeks... I work for a prestigious higher ed dance program in New York and we are now in production mode since we moved into the theatre this past weekend after weeks of rehearsals in the dance ...
Gratitude is Wine for the Soul … Go on. Get Drunk.
On the train headed into the city ... Went to the MACY's Thanksgiving Parade this morning!!! It's true when they say the early bird gets the worm... I woke up at the bum crack of dawn (7:00am) to find a good spot and you know what??? It was already super packed with families when ...
Round Two With A View :)
Winter is HERE!!! Athena swang through last night and after going through the train wreck called Sandy last week ... I would say last night was smooth sailing! Besides I love snow ... You know, before it gets all brown and nasty from street muck and doggy doo doo. On Another ...
Before Hurricane Sandy Hit
Two days before Hurricane Sandy dropped by, Charles and I hopped on the Staten Island Ferry to take a joyride across the Hudson River. I'm super glad we took advantage of this travel option during the calm before the storm since the ferry is now running on a limited service schedule. The ...
Post … At Least For Me…
Because the effects of Hurricane Sandy are still very much present for many people in Manhattan and New Jersey... It's been an interesting couple of days and I'm really not quite sure how to sum it up right now so this post may be a little random in it's composition ... All I can say is you ...
Annnnnnd There Goes Our Power…
I probably shouldn't be blogging right now but Hurricane Sandy can kiss my buttcheeks cuz I can't fall asleep ... The power was flickering on and off for the past 2 hours and finally it went out around 7:30pm... The wind is crazy up here living on the top floor (we can feel our complex ...
Hurricane Sandy Is On Her Way…
Sooooo I guess it's a good thing we got Halloween out of the way early ... Hosted a costume party with the roomies this past Friday and couldn't have planned it better with the timing of what the media is calling the the biggest hurricane to hit the east coast since 1935 or 1938 or 1997 or 2005 ...
Burgundy & Gold In The Big Apple :)
Before you delve into this post, I will give fair warning that the photos you are about to view are filled with Burgundy & Gold colors. Sooooo if you are apposed to these colors (Piss Off Cowboys Fans), I suggest skipping this post and instead reading about some of my other travels on this ...
Walking Across The Brooklyn Bridge!!!
After checking out the Brooklyn Brewery and walking around Williamsburg, Charles and I made our way to the Brooklyn Bridge. This had been on my to-do list since I moved up to New York last year but I never got around to making it happen until now. It was a beautiful day ... Breezy & ...
Graffiti Girl…
On our way from the Brooklyn Brewery to the Brooklyn Bridge, Charles and I came across some really cooool pieces of urban art. I am a huge fan of graffiti. Confession Alert: In the 2nd grade, I got detention for vandalizing the school jungle gym. At this age, I didn't ...
