YMA's Intern Social & Panel Discussion
You know what I love more than fashion (besides New Hampshire, sushi, and popping my friends’ back pimples- sorry, I said it)? When fashion comes to life right in front of me!
Tuesday night I had the opportunity to attend another YMA summer event, this one in particular being an intern social and panel discussion, hosted by the fabulous Mickey Boardman at FIT.
YMA President, Jimmy...
& The Gold Medal in Brunch Goes To...
So the Olympics are coming up. Do you know what’s an olympic sport in New York? No, not judging, but close! Answer: brunch.
Alright I’ve been here a while now (almost 7 months, count ‘em!) and have had the appetite and priveledge of dining at some of (what I think are) New York’s finest bruncheries… that’s not a word, but just go with it. So below you’ll...
Biddies on a Boat (JK about the "Biddies", I'm a...
How do you like these apples? To be honest, I still don’t reeeeally get that quote but it seemed fitting just now. What I really mean to say: CHECK OUT THIS VIEW.
Lady Liberty, duh.
The view of Manhattan on the way back
Sunday Funday! After a typical Sunday routine of brunch (at Five Leaves, omgyum) and laundry (at the laundromat, omgglamour), I said to myself, “Self, you have...
Camp Greenpoint
You can take the girl out of camp… but you can’t take camp out of the girl. And this summer… she goes to Camp Greenpoint, conveniently located in my apartment.
Context: I went to and worked at a sleep away summer camp up in New Hampshire for 8 years and it was (capital TB) The Best. Most things I learned there have been instilled in me for life.
Summer 2010 a pretty standard...
The Pros and Cons of Working at Home
This past Thursday I gifted myself the opportunity to work from home for a handful of reasons that I won’t bore you with now (thanks, self!). However I realized that as “pro” as it sounds, there were actually some cons. Cue the list!
Pro: I got to wake up two hours later than usual! Love when your commute is essentially negative time. Con: I woke up so late all my roommates were...
A Tale of Two... Neighborhoods
Below, a rhyming and semi rambling poem on some of my time here. It was meant to be an ode to the East Village, but it contorted into something else.. enjoy! Hopefully it makes you laugh as much as I laugh at it/with it. There once was a girl named Hay, Who feared that forever in St. Louis she may stay, I thought of studying abroad, But I knew I wasn’t a broad. (no disrepect)
I did some...
10 Reasons I'm Forever Young
Me, circa 1994. Wish I still had those shades… and dress. Polka dots are back. 1. Because I commissioned India to give me a hair wrap… last week.
2. Because Allory and I created a “meal” in college called Spaghettos. It’s cheerios, pasta sauce and a spoon. And surprisingly, it’s good. More surprisingly, we prefer it over other foods.
3. Because yesterday I...
That One Time The Week and Weekend Were Inverted
FIVE DAY WEEKEND? OKAY. I could get down with that, on the regular.
This past week, Americans were blessed with our anniversary announcing our independence from those peeps across the pond. Turns out, the holiday is a greeeeeat excuse for wearing your tackiest USA apparel and drinking beer during the day time guilt-free, heyoooooo. But, that was merely 1 of out the 5 days I had off (technically...
Saturday, Beach Day
Let me rephrase that, Saturday was BURN day. And not “burn” in the fun way like in Mean Girls (<3).
Saturday some of us decided to get our ish together early in the day and head to Rockaway Beach (an hour away via subway). I don’t think I’ve “been to the beach” in over two years… seriously. I’ve been in pools, lakes, puddles, downpours, my...
