I need some time management skills. Either that or get used to not sleeping. I’m so tired I could put my head down at my desk and sleep. I haven’t had a nap, an intentional nap, since I’ve moved to New York. There aren’t enough hours in the day for all the things I want to do. Did you see Oprah’s Next Chapter with...
Hey guys. I miss you–like eveeeeerrrryyydayyyy. Remember me? That girl who used to blog? I went home to Harrisburg two weekends for Mother’s Day. Nothing puts things in perspective like sleeping in the bed you grew up in. I notice weird things like my comforter at home is quieter–my comforter in New York is down, thus noisy–and that I freaking...
On Monday, I worked my very first red carpet for the premiere of Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorfs. And I just knew that I had the perfect shoes to #GetScattered in: J.Crew Sequin heels. Here’s the thing about working a red carpet, though, you’re standing for like three hours as the celebrities are ushered through the line of photographers and journalists...
So here’s the thing about working in fashion. Sometimes I get brand envy. I’m at events with fabulously dressed women dripping in labels, nothing flashy, but if you know, you know, that sort of thing. Also–I know that just because you can afford a certain designer label that doesn’t equal style. I know. I’m just saying I get brand envy. Working...
I reached an entirely new level of crazy. I considered asking a stranger to use her phone. To Instagram a picture. Pause for effect. She wasn’t exactly a stranger, we were seated beside each other at my last Tribeca Film Festival screening that day and she complimented my necklace. So, we’re practically besties. But it was important that I Instragram a...
True story, it is freaking expensive to live in New York. If you breathe too loud, it will cost you. If you buy anything in a tourist-ridden area, it will cost you double. When I think of what I’m paying in rent compared to what something like this would cost back home, I could cry. The saving grace? This is...
So, I’m finally #inBermuda. My first night was perfect. I was whisked to my hotel by a cab driver who blasted the radio for me and shouted out landmarks as we drove along. I checked into to this fabulous hotel I’ll call home for the next couple of days and I’ve already met some really great girls. Oh! And there...
So remember that TV show I jokingly said that Channing in the City needed? Wednesday was nothing but material for this show that I think my friend and I are going to write (be the change you want to see, right?). I openly cried in the street, I hugged strangers and legit ran three blocks–I’m not going to lie though,...
Yall. Last weekend was one of my favorites here in the city. Feel like running through it? On Friday, I found a new T.J. Maxx in the financial district. Just being in the financial district and seeing everything all lit up, it looked erie but I was intrigued. I want to go exploring. I walked by Tiffany’s and it looked...
My roommate and I watch The Voice. And we get into it. We’ve got a running commentary on not just the singing but the clothing, the hair, the shoes, you name it, we’ve said something about it. It isn’t always snarky, usually, it’s some silly observation that’s brought on by the sleepiness we’re fighting to stay up and watch this...
