Big Beautiful Hair and Bikinis!

2010-07-14T14:59:00.000-07:00

One of my recent finds thanks to a wonderful comment she left on my first Blogger POSTiT. Tayler of a great blog; Big Hair and Bikinis.

Her Love of fun florals and pairings of really cute fashion finds is well worth following. 

I really enjoy Tayler's fun flirty style, with that amazing hair!

I found this pic of her on the train tracks, I have always found profiles to be so beautiful, and hers is just that. 

Please check out her great blog...I did, now it's your turn!

Fade To Black

2010-07-12T08:45:00.000-07:00

I have to admit... This should have been my first Blogger POSTiT. As my favorite blog is that of my friend Gemma's. The Extremely talented designer of fashion and graphics. 

Her photos, styling and illustrations are nothing to be copied, but definitely something to be truly inspired by.

FADE TO BLACK... a must follow, and if you don't, well you are surely missing out.

Lessons learned and some cool fashion

2010-05-22T21:51:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that this is one saturday when I learned two very valid lessons...

ONE... never go back to this club (and I will be nice and not reveal its name)as much as I would like to prevent people to go.

TWO...DO NOT no matter how much the over-cocky promoter pisses you off, DO NOT DRINK HIS ENTIRE BOTTLE OF KETTLE ONE, to the face...KARMA IS A BITCH

Lets just say, luckily I gave enough time for the cabbie to pull over.

And CHEERS to the girl with the awesome shirt with the wings on the back...

GOOD BURGER, REAL FOOD

2010-05-22T21:24:00.000-07:00

And the adventure downtown starts with a frosty COKE in a glass bottle. For those that know me, I always say that soda is better out of a glass bottle.

Smart Had a good idea, and that idea was stupid...DIESEL you make my heart sing with your brilliance

Welcome to good burger, home of the New York Burger Co., can I take your order?

After a stroll to Union Square for a pair of roller blades, why not give ourselves a reason to use them, so bring on the burgers!

All the deals, all the toppings...So much to choose from.

Ready for some REAL FOOD!

ENJOY!

Correct and Proceed

I'm realizing more and more how much I need to practice drawing. yes we all have natural talents, but in order to improve on them we need to practice. I'm really going to try harder... now if only i can find more time! One thing I love to draw is women, I don't know why...I just do. We are beautiful creatures aren't we? Well this was inspired by a beautiful creature I met this past summer... Check out her blog!

I scream, You scream, we all scream... MR. SOFTEE!!!

THINK NOODLES

2010-03-15T19:25:00.000-07:00

If you like Thai, noodles and beverages* you have come to the right spot.

http://www.thinknoodles.com

One of my most favorite Thai Restaurants in NYC is REPUBLIC.

The Drinks are fresh, exotic and delicious

This is the Asian Sangria.

The atmosphere is modern and fashionable, with large ceilings and tables that at times you have to share with other guests. All the better to make new friends

A large Bar to enjoy the exotic drinks, for a quick refresher while you wait. Yes, sometimes...You have to wait at times, but it's well worth it.

Plenty on the menu to choose from. Something for everyone.

My latest favorite is the curried duck!

Old favorites are: Pad Thai, Salmon Noodles and the Seared Salmon.

Dont worry, if you dont know how to use chopsticks... They'll give you a fork.

THINK NOODLES: THINK REPUBLIC

Move over Mr. Wonka...

2010-03-10T21:09:00.000-08:00

Chocolate is not just about taste... According to Max Brenner.

For the first time ever I visited Max Brenner's. O.M.G.Chocolate heaven...

http://www.maxbrenner.com/

PURE CHOCOLATE Flows through pipes that hang through the ceiling.

All Flavors

I know I love pizza, who doesn't. But who knew pizza could be dessert like this...

I didn't know what to title this image, all I could think of was YUMM.

The Biggest glass box of chocolates. Lets see if my valentine can top this next year.

Triangles and Stripes

2010-03-10T20:42:00.000-08:00

I was slightly inspired by Rhianna's RUDE BOY video. More like this one to come.

In Harlem...WE CALL THE SHOTS

2010-03-10T20:38:00.000-08:00

Along our travels in the L.E.S i discovered what looked

like the worlds largest POSTiT

Which I would gladly make if I won the lottery.

I love hats and vintage jewelry, I would have loved to have given credit to this awesome little shop, but as I was taking this shot, I was quickly shooed away.

A lesson I learned in college: what is in the window, it fair game.

at least the one shot I got was good!

CUPPIECAKE!

2010-03-05T14:27:00.000-08:00

Oh how I love Cupcakes, I try not to eat them, but when I split it with a friend it not only makes me feel good, but makes me think less of the calories.

Chanel and I LOVE to go to Crumbs Cup Cake Bakery. http://www.crumbs.com/
We started our ONCE a MONTH tradition, but sometimes we have to splurge more then once. ;-)

2010-03-01T21:24:00.000-08:00

First stop for sunday evening: McSorleys http://www.mcsorleysnewyork.com/The Oldest bar in N.Y.C

The dust is the as proof of its age, as well as the awesome decor...

You only have two options: Light...Or...Dark.

oh yeah, and bring your appetite for beer because they only serve two at a time.

Definitely has not changed much.

Round Two: The Continental

http://www.continentalnyc.com/

The bar just beckons you to order a drink with its comforting glow.

Oh... And the shots...ARE CHEAP.

They even gave me a chinese camel for my Captain and Coke.

Round Three: led us to a Karaoke bar. But no picture taking action. Just a lot of drunken Singing.

One thing about N.Y that I love the most, besides a STARBUCKS on every corner. are the flowers you can find on pretty much every corner in the city.

...So beautiful...

Breakfast Club for TWO...

2010-02-28T15:00:00.001-08:00

Sunday Morning Brunch at Metro Diner on Broadway and 91st.

Jess and I love the diner on Sundays after a long night out.

And who wouldn't, diner food is the equivalent to comfort food.

Instant Human...Just add COFFEE.

With my FAVORITE nail polish (a gift from my valentine. Essie, "Mint Candy Apple")

With the amount of food you can get. ITS A GREAT PRICE.

my favorite here is the greek omelet, I get it with egg whites, feta cheese, tomatoes and spinach! YUMM...

Ketchup please!

FIN!

Breakfast for two please.

Sharing their finds in the TIMES over tea.

The Breakfast Club

2010-02-27T14:42:00.000-08:00

Our sat afternoon travels down to the L.E.S...

St. Marks place is one of my favorite places to people watch. As

well as one of the best places to find a cheap pair of glasses or handmade jewels and fashions.

Made it to Yucca Bar, while we enjoyed mamosas and well...Blackberrys

There is ALWAYS time for a mamosa... Please note: The ILL watch.

And for the reason

why we took the 30 minute trip down town on the local 6 train. The FOOD IS AMAZING... Arepas Benedictos, Eggs benedict at its finest, the option we chose was smoked salmon.

...BECOME YOUR DREAM...

2010-02-27T07:58:00.000-08:00

I always say that if I can make it, I wont buy it. Thus, a lot of my jewelry is handmade. These are gold plated chains, enameled charms and "dust-your-shoulders" feathers.

Possible additions will be a pink feather design. I have an awesome pink feather that would look great. STAY TUNED.

Hello...

2010-02-26T18:04:00.000-08:00

I've always had a tendency to draw on what ever I could find. Any random piece of paper, a placemat at your local diner ESPECIALLY a restaurant with the paper on the tables. Even just a napkin... But I found your average office supplies to be the most inspiring and most fun mediums to pass my file saving time. POST ITs. This was my first...
