Do it because it's fun!

Note: My heart goes out to all those lost on September 11, 2001.

I am so proud to be an American!

Some Thing-A-Ling's

A few things..

1. I am on the brink of figuring out who the heck I am...I've been told "discovering" myself comes with time, experience and travel. My Euro-trip has been postponed due to my new job and my attempt at pinching pennies so I can move into the city soon-ish.
2. As much as I want to move in to NYC I must admit, I'm TERRIFIED! I love being home and the comfort of it all. My parents are amazing and always there for me, the fridge is always stocked and I can lounge around without a care in the world...did I mention it's FREE!
3. I am scared that as a post-grad I will never find a group of friends to replace the amazing people I left after graduation. I had such a tight-knit group up in RI. Now that my friends and I aren't in the same state anymore I can't help but feel terrified and lonely. 
4. I bought a new bracelet today, I painted my nails in Essie's Wicked, Princess Diaries is on ABC Family and I am having some delicious vanilla/chocolate/peanut butter fro-yo with cinnamon puffins for dessert...okay, my life is pretty darn good (ending on a happy note).

Strawberry Saturday

When the morning light streamed through my window (at ahem, ~6:30am) I felt totally relaxed and calm. After a great and productive work-week, an awesome farewell dinner for my little sister last night (leaving for UMASS today) and a ton of plans and tasks for the weekend (DIY project, Long Beach surf competition, Brooklyn flea, tryin' to get an iphone y'all!) I am feeling pretty good about life. So why not have a Strawberry Saturday?

Hot oats, fresh strawberries, peanut butter, grape preserves, banana, egg-whites & cinnamon.

Sharing is Caring

So I forgot to take my WIAW pictures...again! I have just been going nuts lately with work and figuring out my new schedule! Any way, remember yesterday when I told you how I may be on the Wendy Williams Show...well first step of the process was to make a short YouTube video explaining why I want to be on the show and her FNO Correspondent. Why not share the video? It's pretty silly and remember: this was after a long day and commute from NYC--maybe I am delirious in it. Figured I'd give everyone a laugh on hump day!

Updates!

Sorry I haven't been posting/commenting lately--I miss you all a ton! I have been super busy because...I OFFICIALLY HAVE A JOB! Oh, and I got an awesome phone call last night. I have an audition to be the Fashion's Night Out Correspondent for the Wendy Williams Show!!!

Life is beautiful :) 

Can't Do Wrong

Seriously, Isabel Marant CANNOT do wrong. Every single look she creates is just amazing; the colors, the layering, the textures, the patterns. I don't know how she does it but every look mixes subtle sexiness and tom-boyish-ness (word? Or did I just invent that?). Whether she couples sequined cigarette pants with a patterned sheer top or pairs cutoff denim shorts with a chunky winter sweater and thigh high boots, everything looks so comfy, relaxed and PERFECT!

Who is your favorite designer(s)? Mine is hands down Isabel Marant...okay, with some Ralph Lauren mixed in! 

Putting My Big Girl Pants On

Yesterday left me drained--mentally, physically...just done. I could barely keep my eyes open during my commute home, and I just wanted to cry. Sorry for the sad illustration of my evening, but I realized something when I woke up this morning...life goes on. I took today off from the gym because I really need a rest day (or 2), ate a great breakfast, and put on my favorite feel-good outfit. Now, I'm not saying these little tweaks can make all my problems from yesterday vanish, but it lets me know that there are still things I can do to make myself feel good. The important thing for me to remember is to NOT bask in my misery. You know; just stew in it, let it boil up, utterly consume every part of me. No Sir! I need to nip these feelings in the bud, discover how to make myself feel better and get over it.

I'll try to end on a happy note: any advice for how to meet new people--not necessarily guys, but that wouldn't hurt either ;) I find that moving back home has been a challenge. My friends and I are never in the same place anymore and we all have completely opposite schedules! I want to find another group of friends, not to replace my oldest and dearest, mind you, but to just put myself out there, find a new hobby, learn some new things about myself. Any advice? Know websites to check out? Places to go? Etc. I'm in the New York City area so it shouldn't be that hard, right? Open to all suggestions. Thanks and Happy Hump Day (finally!)
