7 Years in New York.

Monday was my 7th anniversary of moving to New York. According to Carrie Bradshaw, 7 years makes you a New Yorker. I don’t know if that is true (Sex and the City isn’t my go-to source for truths), but it is a little weird to think that after this year, I’ve lived here longer than [...]

Hello Goodbye.

Hello: Carrie and I have been blog, email and then facebook friends for nearly two years. When we found out she was coming to NYC to see friends, we knew we had to finally meet in person. I’ve met blog friends before in real life. But never like this. Usually it’s someone coming into my [...]

The night I was kind of Cher from Clueless.

Two weeks ago I went to work dressed like Cher from Clueless. I didn’t do it on purpose, but while I was on the train I noticed that I was wearing a velvet mini dress straight out of the 90s, knee highs, and patent leather platforms. It was like, suddenly Cher lives in Manhattan and [...]

Wall street goofs.

Jen and I went to the Food Truck Festival at Southstreet Seaport on Saturday and ate a lot of food together. (we didn’t get to eat the pickle in the picture, because I dropped it) When we were nice and full, we walked back to the car, which was parked on Water St. and Maiden. [...]

Random phone piccies.

Last Saturday Jake and I went to a break dancing battle in Soho. It was for nationals, and the winner was going to go on to the next battle in London. We only stayed for a few hours, but it was really fun. I don’t know if you’ve ever been to an actual bboy/bgirl battle [...]

Sight Seeing with my family

We made a little time for touring NYC while my family was here. We didn’t have much time, and I was stressed about 100 things (sorry family!), but we did make it out a few times! After Pip’s birthday visit on Saturday, we journied out to central park and Times Sq. My little brother (it [...]

a walk through the park

Yesterday morning we all (everyone from the salon) met up at the MET to see the Alexander McQueen exhibition. Let me just get it out of the way now…it was one of the most beautiful, inspiring mornings of my life. He was just a brilliant artist, more than just fashion, and the exhibit was done [...]

Blossoms Galore

On Friday morning, Jake came up with me for a special Piper Jane visit before he had to work. Actually before I had to work too. I went into the salon to work on the wigs for a few hours on my day off. We drove down to the West Village and had a quick [...]

Trouble Makers

Jen is definitely my partner in crime. Sometimes when we’re hanging out, I get an outrageous idea and propose it to her and she acts like it’s the most genius idea ever. And then she comes back at me with an equally outrageous idea for later. Hanging out with Jen is exciting. There were so [...]

Preview to a very fun night.

Jake and I were invited out to a very fancy party at the top of The Standard Hotel in the Meat Packing District. The Boom Boom Room is probably the fanciest and hardest lounge to get into, and I could not believe we had been invited to a private party up there. So exciting. I [...]
