I know it's been a while...

School, Seniors and stuff has kept me away but have to give a shout out to the blog. Glamour just released their December issue and in it is my perfect NYE dress.... armaniexchange.com supposedly has it, I can't find it. ALAS the quest continues.

Miu Miu

If I were to be encompassed in one pair of shoes it would be these. Miu Miu. Love.

Loving the days, but loving counting them down

This past week has been quite a ride. I finished my time at a+o (with some fantastic free stuff), attempted attending a drag show, drank wine on the top of a townhouse that I could only dream to own, got caught in the rain, and spent way to much money. And it was all worth it.

A+O was an interesting detour to my summer. Completely unplanned, and completely... interesting. I walked a lot. A LOT. With no experience in retail production, I was pretty much learning as I went. I soaked a lot in, met some awesome people, and saw a different side of an industry that I love. I also got some amazing clothes. These three being some of my favorites. 

I'd been searching for a romper to wear out and this lovely number fell into my lap. 

 I literally wear this scarf everyday. Literally. 

Trina Tunic, oh how I love you.

Great clothes, great time, great people, I will definitely be back.

Ami and Abby came to visit this weekend and it was a blast. We shopped, ate Berry Wild, and took in a drag show. The lovely people she is nannying for allowed us (why, I will never know) to stay in their townhouse in Chelsea. City views, terrace on the roof, and domestic grilling, we all definitely had a great time. The drag show was at Lips, you will all see the pictures, and let's just saw we did Caitlin's bachelorette party justice. 

As I near the end of my time here (t-minus 2 weeks) I feel like I still have ages to go, but only seconds left. I plan on being out as much as possible seeing the city that has made me laugh, cry, and curse. I also definitely want to shop...

Side note: Steve Madden's I thought were a find, definitely hooker shoes :( sending back for better option.

so many shoes so little time

I have been talking about fringe sandals all summer, ask my roommates, they know. As I was walking home from a+o the other day I saw a women in the most perfect pair. I couldn't catch her in time to ask where they were from, but my savvy internet skills saved me. Here they are... damn I just bought those Steve Maddens....

Love deals

In Black :)

So I have been lusting after a pair of shoes that my sister bought at DSW for the past week. They are chunky, leather, and totally out of my personal price range due to overspending elsewhere. Thank goodness for Overstock.com. For about half of what they cost at DSW my beloved Steve Maddens became mine.

And now those thousand words...

I know I have been bad at updating, but isn't that how it goes? You start something so enthusiastically, a diary, journal, workout regime, etc., then something gets in the way. Usually life. Well here's me playing catch up.

Starting with the 4th (which ended quite traumatically, wouldn't you like to know), life has been lively. I've appreciated the MOMA, a quite phallic representation of modern art is currently (apparently) very popular, eaten crepes at Bastille Day, and gotten a horrific sunburn at Long Beach.

I would like to take a moment to digress on a slight notion that bothers me horribly. New Yorkers are entitled. Well, rather, they feel entitled to comment on your business. Why is it that when a person (namely myself) gets a sunburn, it is open for discussion? Yes, I know I am a walking advertisement for the American Cancer Association, yes I failed at sunscreen 101, yes it hurts, and yes I KNOW IT LOOKS BAD. So please, if you see my lobster legs traipsing around Manhattan today, PLEASE, don't comment. I know.

Internship wise, Redbook is fabulous. This week I walked away with an assortment of free goodies at both of my internships which makes the work feel worthwhile. Interns are people too ya know.

Downtime is important to me, and that is why I spent $13.00 to see Harry Potter. It was epic. Ron is hot. I also saw The Hangover, Brad Cooper is hot, and now I understand EVERYONE'S statuses.

On the dessert front I have found a new love. Berrywild Frozen Yogurt. I am heading there in approximately 25 minutes, and I can't wait. Cappuccino fro-yo with chocolate covered pretzel topping. Um yes please. Also a great cupcake at Burger's and Cupcakes makes the list (though no where near Baked by Melissa). I have to say though that Crumbs is climbing the list with each sample.

I know this is sporadic, unintelligible, and over all non-informative, but I promise to spend tonight getting a more accurate depiction of life up. Right now, all I can think of is fro-yo.
