Finally made it down to see the finished World Trade Center Oculus! I haven't been down to this area in months and the last time I saw it, Santiago Calatrava's strange, rib-cage like structure was still under construction. Beneath the white "bird in flight" exterior is a huge open space lined with stores from H&M … Continue reading Oculus
That's the year the Brooklyn Bridge opened to the public. Some more fun facts for you: the project took 14 years and somewhere around $15 million dollars (at the time) to complete. Oddly enough, when this beauty opened, Brooklyn was its own city rather than a borough, which I definitely didn't know! This stunning NYC … Continue reading 1883.
I've actually never made it down to New York City's historic Stone Street. Part of me has always felt that it's just SO far out of the way being that it's incredibly far downtown. Now that I've actually seen it for myself, I understand why people like it so much! How cute is this place?! … Continue reading Stone Street on Sunday
I've always had the "long hair don't care" kind of mentality. I LOVE long, luscious locks and I've had long hair for as long (hehe) as I can remember. The mere idea of just a small trim has always been enough to send me into straight panic mode at the salon! I'm sure many of … Continue reading Hairy Happenings
I just wanted to quickly share some pictures of this really cool juice that I tried this week! I'm not sure where I first saw it, but it was love at first sight and I just knew I had to try one! Great idea, right? It's called the "Light Bulb Drink" and you can get … Continue reading I had an idea…
The "Sunday Scaries" were real yesterday! Just wanted to share some of my favorite pics from this gloomy weekend. I'm always looking for cool graffiti and street art to take pictures of (and with!) and we found some awesome murals in downtown Manhattan. We took these before heading into Alphabet City for some beer and … Continue reading A pop of color
Anybody who knows me knows I LOVE a good ass-kicking, crawl-your-way out of the gym workout. It goes without saying that New York is the best when it comes to finding new, unique classes where you can get your sweat on. Whether you're a yogi, a spinner, a runner or just an unclassified workout enthusiast, … Continue reading Unleashing Some ‘Rage’
...that I was going to love Birds & Bubbles! Lie, they did not. April and I headed down to the Lower East Side today to nom on some fried chicken and biscuits. (Are you seeing a trend here? My insides are. They are not happy, but my tastebuds say otherwise.) Tucked away on the basement … Continue reading A little bird told me…
I'll tell you what: I LOVE seeing this pair of striped Zara pants hanging in my closet! They add a serious pop of color to my fall wardrobe. Aside from the color scheme, they're also incredibly light and comfy! I literally couldn't bear the thought of taking them off. I was going for all around … Continue reading SoHo & Stripes
Donkey from "Shrek", get it? My tastebuds were jumping for joy today thanks to Sweet Chick! If the title of this post didn't give it away... it was a majorly filling (and fulfilling) chicken and waffles extravaganza. I adored this rustic Williamsburg joint and I'm sure that after checking out the pictures, you'll understand why. … Continue reading ”…and in the morning, I’m makin’ (chicken +) waffles!”
