style journal // valentino red.

Posted on January 29th, 2012

It’s not a dress but I would say the shade of red comes close. But other than that.. aren’t you surprised that I’m wearing color? And not just any color.. but red? Who am I? I stopped by Saks Fifth Avenue to drop off some things and I decided to check out the consolidation sale. And from across the floor, I instantly spotted this stunner. To be honest, whenever I go shopping, I secretly wish that my size isn’t available. It is easier that way.. if they don’t have my size, I don’t have to contemplate the purchase! A part of me said to walk away. But, of course, the better part of me won and I walked over to try the coat on.…

The roommate and I finally took some time to explore the area that is Hell’s Kitchen on an unseasonably warm day a few weeks ago. What was once a gritty area is now evolving into quite a popular neighborhood, full of food, nightlife and friends. Come explore Hell’s Kitchen with me, in living color: [[ restaurants abound on 9th avenue ]] [[ exploring the ins and outs ]] [[ the future of hudson yards ]] [[ silver towers/highrise development on the far westside. aka, bankerville ]] [[ dog park on the hudson ]]…

spotted // in the new york times.

Posted on December 3rd, 2011

I was out shopping two weeks ago with Karen and it was the most random day. We stopped by Barneys to see if there were any Céline Boston totes [in medium], grabbed coffee/tea and macarons, bumped into Bryanboy outside Bergdorf, visited the Bergdorf/Marc by Marc Jacobs/Teen Vogue event and was shot by the Bill Cunningham. That next Sunday, I hunted down a Sunday Times but didn’t find anything. My surgery + Thanksgiving totally occupied my mind for the past two weeks and I completely forgot about it until Karen texted me a few minutes ago to tell me about this: [[ New York Times // On The Street, Off Leash ]] “Young men showed no signs this fall of being shoved back into the…
