It had been 3 years since I went back to school, last weekend I met my two best friends for homecoming weekend. I’ve been anticipating this weekend for months now (we booked the hotel in April!) and was so excited to see the girls, it had been over a year since I’d seen both of them, we vowed at the end of the weekend to…
View from Above
It was a whirlwind weekend full of friends and old memories. I flew to Ohio to go back to college for homecoming weekend. More details to come but first some pics I snapped on the plane ride home, I can’t believe it actually snowed in NY! So glad I missed it 🙂 not quite ready for that! Happy Monday!
House Tours
I mentioned last week that I was touring some of Manhattan’s finest apartments during the Junior League House Tour. While this year wasn’t the best I’ve seen, below are a few of my favorite looks from the various apartments. It was a beautiful fall day, perfect for walking this city from top to bottom and ending with a cocktail at the New Traditionalists showroom in…
Happy Weekend
Woo hoo it’s Friday, we made it! Another week down. This weekend I have a friend in town visiting from California. We’ll be trying two new-to-me restaurants, touring the homes of the rich and famous (not really, more likely just rich or seriously talented interior decorators) in the New York Junior League House Tours, and my goal for Sunday is to flip my closet over,…
Tweed and Tea and a Bicycle Ride
Last Saturday was the first New York Tweed Run, sponsored by Rugby Ralph Lauren. The “metropolitan cycling event” began in London a few years ago; riders don traditional English cycling tweeds, and break out their bikes for a ride around the city. It could not have been a more perfect day, the sun was shining and everyone really came out in their finest Tweed! There…
Pink Ponies
As we all know, October is breast cancer awareness month. While many of us have constant reminders of breast cancer in our lives, it is nice to see international attention brought to these causes month by month. Ralph Lauren recently celebrated Pink Pony Day. Employees around the world celebrate a day full of events related to breast cancer awareness and fundraising. Our day started with…
Weekend-what’s on tap?
Whew, this week seemed to drag on! But at the same time, here we are at the weekend once again! The weather forecast calls for 80 degrees and clear blue skies, a first after what feels like endless weekends filled with rain. No real plans except for a birthday dinner at this place which I’m ridiculously excited about, I may haven already studied the menu…
Happy Monday
image via pinterest I can’t remember the last time that I came out of a weekend feeling truly relaxed. The weather was blah, but I managed to actually get errands done, I took a new pilates class, got my nails done, and indulged in some serious catch-up with my dvr. It’s amazing what a weekend like that can do for the soul! We managed to…
Looking Forward but Still Remembering
Last week I had the honor of visiting the 9/11 memorial site. I know we all have our own stories of where we were and how we remember that day, I was getting ready for school my sophomore year of high school in California when I turned on the news and saw the second plane hit. While I may have been far removed from the…
Ellie Goulding Live fron NY!
A friend recently invited me to a private acoustic performance by British artist Ellie Goulding on the rooftop of the Atlas building in Harold Sq. I was familiar with the Atlas building after watching several seasons of Project Runway, but it was the perfect backdrop for an intimate night of music on a gorgeous late summer night, the weather was incredible and it was an…
