I don't know about you but smoking hookah always makes me feel like a badass... A badass engaging in legal activity. I'm proud to say that I have never smoked a cigarette ever in my life ... But hookah? I'll do hookah. You may recognize the Cloister Cafe from a previous post I wrote so it may seem ...
Touch The Sky
Sharing some 'reflective' photos I've taken over the past couple of weeks while out and about :) NYC wouldn't be the city it is without it's tall buildings and skyscrapers ... My favorite buildings are the ones with silvery mirrored exteriors that reflect the sky on a beautiful ...
Date Night w/ Boyfriend #2
Dinner at P.J. Clarkes with my best friend, Durell, before heading across the street to see Alvin Ailey American Theatre's performance at the Lincoln Center = A perfect bestie date night. It doesn't matter what we're doing, I always have so much fun with ...
If The Jungle Had Walls
This marks my second time going to a zoo this year... As I'm working on this transitional move to the VA area, the need to explore NYC has become even more urgent. As such, a trip to the Bronx Zoo was only proper. If I had to compare the DC National Zoo to the Bronx Zoo ...
Star Struck In The Name Of Dance
While bar hopping with friends in Hell's Kitchen, a friend yelled "OMG! I think that's Keone and Mariel!" And of course I was like "Ahhhh, I love them! I must get a picture with them!" Which then prompted us to run into the Duane Reade after them only to run back out because we felt like stalkers. ...
My Adirondacks Weekend via Instagram
The sunset as we drove upstate ... One of the highlights from our 6 hour canoeing/kayaking river trip ... This super cute mama and baby cow. Grubbing on some yummy lobster to celebrate Independence Day and Rachael's birthday! In search of the Canajoharie Falls ... A beautiful bedroom ...
Take Me Out To The Yanks Game
So here's the deal... I don't like baseball. To me, it's extremely boring. Me = More of an American football gal. Burgundy & Gold till I die. I'm also a fan of boxing ... And cage fighting too. I cringe every time someone takes a hit or body shot but at the same time, I feel like I'm watching ...
Peace Out NYC
I've been holding off making this announcement on the blog for the longest until most of the the details were set. But I think it's time to share the news ... At the end of this month, I will be closing this New York Chapter and be making a move down to Virginia!! Now why would a lady like myself ...
36 Hours w/ Peach in the Big Apple :)
I know... I don't usually post on Sundays... But one of my best girlfriends just hopped on the bus back to DC and I couldn't help wanting to immediately share what an ah-mazing couple of days I just had! I've known Lauren a.k.a. Peach for almost 8 years now... We met each other on the first day of ...
Love In The Name Of Halal
When spending a day in the city playing host to a group of strapping young men, the itinerary must always revolve around food. That is how you keep them from turning into grumpy old men... And when looking for something quick and yummy to eat without the hefty price, you can never go ...
A-Line Brocade
I think the reason why I still persist at taking outfit posts no matter how few & random they are is simply because I don't always feel pretty. So when I do feel pretty it is essential to capture that moment before it fades. Take the above set of photos that were taken a couple weeks ...
Quality Me Time At Coney Island
As much as I love hanging out with my friends and family, there are some moments when I just need to have some quality ME time. Those moments to unwind and reinvest some energy back into myself. This past weekend I celebrated the beginning of summer with a solo trek out to Coney Island for a day at ...
