/ / 8 Comments
You know I haven’t done a real true straight up outfit post in a long while and since Spring has officially sprung in NY (actually unofficially sprung quite early this season) I think there is no better time for an outfit post. These pics were taken last week. I got out of work early for a change and it was a balmy 74 degrees in NY at 5:30 in the evening :). This is the face I make with that… View Post

“Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.”Kurt Vonnegut Hello dear friends, I hope your week has started out bright! Here are some reasons I heart the internet, dearies. Above, I DIE for the new pieces of Afia. There is something so daring about the prints this time around and I think it’s just great. I love super realistic paintings.

Okay so I think this is super raaad…new frog species discovered right in NYC baby!!!   It took 4 years to declare this little guy a new kind of leopard frog species. A little slice of nature discovery just for us New Yorkers :D! Pretty awesome, no? A tad more awesome than the Brooklyn Bee in my opinion.

Last month I went to the Lulu’s Style Studio event with some darling ladies: Katy, Alex and Nnenna (you can see their recaps here, here, and here) and I was surprised and really happy to see so many natural beauty products at the event! The brand that caught my attention in a real way was DAHLiiA and I was really thrilled that Dahlia (the beautiful founder) gave me a sample of the Starlight Silver to take home.

Consciously Trending-Red Blazer

/ / 9 Comments
I had been searching and searching for a red blazer since fall! For me the right red blazer can look really sharp and something about it is really classic while being quite bold…and I found a fantastic one! I scored this red blazer at Housing Works for a steal :). My new red friend had shoulder pads (why! oh why!) but I removed the shoulder pads and instantly this blazer had a modern boyfriend fit. Also, please pardon the dark… View Post

This year marks the 70th anniversary of Rosie the Riveter. The iconic image of Rosie has really lasted the test of time. Walk into any novelty store and you are sure to see Rosie, but let’s not forget that behind Rosie there is a story of women. Above is a stunning image from The Library of Congress showing two women who stepped in during World War II. Virginia Young (pictured on the right), a widow of Pearl Harbor, her role… View Post

Ha! I Made It!- Neon Pom Pom Necklace

I’ve mentioned that I’m obsessed with neon right now and while I’m still looking for that perfect neon dress I am still injecting little bits of neon into my winter wardrobe. I wanted a neon necklace that was a little bolder than my bluma project necklace (seen here), so I decided to make one :). There’s really not a whole lot of steps to this sweet DIY, but we shall first start off with supplies.   Supplies: Chain-I had some… View Post

Smile File-LIN-teresting :)

I can’t believe it’s already All-Star Weekend and I have not posted about basketball at all! Truthfully, because of the lockout and the short season basketball was not super exciting to me. I was a bit deflated with watching games. Short seasons have teams on an aggressive schedule and I think it really just tires them and sadly it shows. BUT THEN(!) something LIN-teresting… DUHHH! I’m talking about Jeremy Lin and his inspiring story. Above is a site called Linterest… View Post
