well, it happened

FIRST SNOW! If I still lived in TN this would be a really exciting thing. When it snows where I am from, we get like one and half inches, and the world stops. Schools are closed. Businesses are closed. Cha ching! Free Day! When in snows in the city, its just a big fat slap in the face with a "better grab your boots girlie!" Because the city never stops. The snow is just a signal that the winter weather, though it may have been hiding, has appeared. The winds are back, and whipping around the corners of the buildings. The dark slush and salt are back, leftovers from the white powdery goodness.

However, do not be discouraged! There is an upside to the dreary, chilly weather... New Outerwear!!

pom pom hat. yes please. 

 

festive plaid coat... uhh huh

the infinity scarf. warmest. thing. ever. 

tights. showing your true colors.

one day when i'm no longer an assistant. i'll be the one wearing the furs... :)

i heart

Just got home from the struggle that was the grocery store this afternoon. It turns out that I'm not the only one who procrastinated with my holiday shopping! But I did pass by this and think...my thoughts exactly! I heart french onion dip. I am thankful for french onion dip. Happy Thanksgiving Ya'll!

turkey d a y

Can ya'll believe that Thanksgiving is next week? I'm in shock. It dawned on me ten minutes ago. I am going to be spending time with some friends and their family who always come to NYC to feast and go to the parade. Very excited! But I want to bring something... So I started brainstorming. Then I thought, wouldn't it be cute to bring cupcakes that look like turkeys? Off to google I went to find some ideas. "I know someone has had this thought before me." And I was right.

I like coconut! Nice touch.

Well, it looks like I have my work cut out for me. Better get started soon. Like I'm not a procrastinator. Ha.

mia michaels

So today, on my day off, I found myself watching back through old SYTYCD routines on youtube, and decided that a tribute to Mia is well overdue. Her work is so unique in the way that it moves a dancer's body across the stage, but also how the movements correlate with the music choice. It is so moving to me that I decided to do my own little top three favorite "Mia Moments". Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

1. duh.


2. yes.


3. i'm out of my chair. flitting around my apartment. probably pulling muscles.

sunday style

Really loved Akris's spring show for 2011. So many of the spring collections were so packed with brights and patterns that it felt a little overwhelming. Loved the simplicity of these looks and the pops of colors and the SHOES! I would buy those wedges in every color. If the budget would allow of course.

just missing paris...

that's all.

Everyone in New York commutes. Even if you live in Manhattan, getting to-and-from work here is a process. Most likely you have a short walk to the train, and then a short walk from your stop to where you work. My commute is, including my stop at the deli for my iced coffee, about a 35 minute process. So, it makes sense that your commute would require a "pump up-get ready to greet the day" kind of play list. Thought I would share with you my current line up for the A.M.
