Coolest things I’ve ever done: Be at the pope’s blessing on Christmas day. Seriously, I’m not even Catholic, but I do love Christmas, and it was a giant multilingual party in St. Peter’s Square. See a Barcelona/Atletico Madrid soccer game in Madrid. Sports bring us together, people, all over the world. I rang a bellContinue reading “lists (incomplete)”

The past week has been crazy you guys, just crazy. I’ll fill errybody in as soon as I can catch my breath, but in the meantime check out a few things I’ve been up to (in no particular order). Sometimes water is cool. I also got to see the amazing Fug Girls talk about theirContinue reading “snapshots”
my promise to women
I like talking about lipstick. And nail polish, and who wore what to the Oscars. I dye my hair and can tell you my top 3 shoe designers (Kirkwood, Olympia, Atwood). I have a solid network of friends to talk about Beyoncé alone. I’m also a capable, smart, single woman who pays my own billsContinue reading “my promise to women”
awesomes
Do you ever have days where you are embarrassed about everything? I’m sure it’s not just me. But today is one of those days, and I can’t send an email or do my hair or pick out shoes or get a cup of coffee without cringing and wanting to crawl back under the covers. ButContinue reading “awesomes”
hot and cold
It is so hot outside I don’t want to be outside for more than two seconds at a time. Waiting for trains is highly unpleasant. What do you when you need to be presentable at work on days like this? For me, I throw on my lightest weight dress and some sandals. It can beContinue reading “hot and cold”
let’s share a cup
I remember my first cup of coffee, like any good addict. I was in high school and I was tired from homework and gymnastics practice and a pot was sitting on our kitchen counter, so I went for it. It was pretty good, or at least not bad enough for me to stop. I likeContinue reading “let’s share a cup”
on new york
Because I live here and because my oldest and dearest friend is moving here soon. And because some of my friends are leaving it: My feelings on New York. My friends and I used to say that the highs in New York are very high and the lows are very low. This is true literally–weContinue reading “on new york”

Snapshots from the past few weeks: Lots…and lots…of outside happy hours and good food. I got this super cool bracelet from a super cool friend. And new colorful dishes that I love. Some people left books on my street so I went perusing. And got a new Stephen King book! And doesn’t this bodega catContinue reading “snapshots”
polka dot
Fridays in the summer mean happy hours right after work. Here’s how I took my look from work to play. I put a light sweater over my polka dress. Both are from Express. Shoes are pink pumps from I can’t remember where. Belt–I think–is from Target. I really like this look. I like how theContinue reading “polka dot”
patriotism
I hope you had a great Fourth of July! I’m not that into obvious theme dressing–I like to be a little subtle–but I accidentally got decked out in American blue and I wasn’t sad about it. My shoes even got into the spirit of things. Sandals from Target, fantastic gray T-shirt with blue and yellowContinue reading “patriotism”
