How To Beat The NYC Heat
LOLOL, you just can’t.
So, with this misleading title, I will instead write a list of all the ways the heat has affected my life:
I cut the sleeves off of four t shirts to make way for the inevitable muscle tee domination. My armpits need to sweat freely! Plus it makes me look like a BAMF
My apartment lacks AC so I literally sleep with no blankets. Sometimes I hug my body pillow just so...
NYC -> BOS
This past week I went home. Although, I’ve (finally?) come to realize that Lexington is no longer my home but merely the place I grew up. I had this constant “wow, I’m too old for this” feeling everywhere I went. I feel like I’ve reached this really big life milestone, yet it just makes me feel sad. Sometimes I think I am too preoccupied with reminiscing and missing...
Saturday is Your Oyster
The weekends here are a beautiful thing. If you wander around enough, you can stumble upon some pretty incredible things. Here are some places I hit up yesterday
The High Line (learn more here)
When I casually admitted at work the other day that I had never been here, my coworker, Grace, was almost personally offended. Never being one to unintentionally offend (I’m more tactful than that,...
5 Things I (Thankfully) Never Did at BG
1. Do anyone’s personal errands
I know I’ve compared my internship to Andy Sachs from The Devil Wears Prada on this thing but I can say with great gratitude and certainty, that I never had do non-work related things for anyone while at BG. We are straight biznaz.
2. Get or make anyone coffee
This is partially a lie. I got coffee for someone (a freelancing stylist) once, but it was...
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
cue the Wicked soundtrack
No but really. This particular catch phrase is referencing my internship paper, due this Friday that I am going to open to edit after I write this post (did someone say, procrastination?). I’m not really sure how life gets away with this but not only is my internship unpaid, but credit is required. Now, I’m just going to say that the reason I even pursued an...
The BG Men's Store
Comparing the BG Men’s store to the women’s store is like, comparing Nicky Hilton to Paris Hilton- stay with me, I’m really goin’ places with this.
The Men’s store, while still awesome and beautiful is a little smaller, get less press coverage and a lot of people come in thinking it’s the women’s store and I have to direct them across the street....
The Importance of Denim
Denim is more than jeans. It’s more than your jean jacket that you either pulled from the depths of your closet or from the thrift store rack. It’s more than that heinous mini skirt you wore in middle school (c’mon, we’ve all been there). And it’s more than Justin & Britney circa 2001- although this one is debatable.
Last weekend J Cole & I opened up the...
Things I Miss While in NYC
New York is the center of the universe! It’s the only city! It’s all here!
Yes, but no.
I love my life here and am constantly enjoying new experiences (toot toot) but there are certainly things I miss and find myself often thinking about. Without further adieu, da list:
1. New Hampshire
The view from the camp waterfront on Winnipesaukee at sunrise.
And no, that shit is NOT...
CCFA Luncheon at the Waldorf
Oh, this was no ordinary luncheon.
Typically a “luncheon” on my work calendar means 15-30 older well dressed ladies in the BG Restaurant schmoozing it up while enjoying a meal. I usually handle check-in then direct them to John, the restaurant host, to get their million dollar coat checked.
Nu uh.
On Tuesday, Daniella and I had the pleasure of helping out at the CCFA (Crohns and...
