Holiday Dresses
I’m searching for more holiday dresses because I find that to be the only excuse for me to shop these days. My work environment lends to an “everything goes” kind of atmosphere, so I don’t have a reason to shop most days.
Now that Thanksgiving is over, I’m ready to dive into the holiday mode. I’m the girl that will listen to Christmas music in July, so now...

Happy Thanksgiving
My turkey from 2 years ago! It took me 12 hours to make!
I’m cooking Thanksgiving dinner with Alex and teaching him the ways of making a turkey. I’m not sure that I’m going all out like I did two years ago with the masterpiece that is pictured above. But we are still using a fresh turkey, brining it, and roasting it! We bought a brine mix this year instead of me making my own,...

HARD NYC Turkey Soup 2010
I don’t know what you are doing after Thanksgiving, but I will be going to Hard NYC and dancing off some turkey! I can’t tell you how excited I am. It’s been too long that I’ve gone to something like this. If you know me, I love electro/house/techno (thanks to my sister,) and I haven’t been able to get to any of the HARD NYC events yet. One of our client’s is...

Friendly Food
Kristy and Monika in the kitchen whipping up some delicious Japanese food!
Michael and Y taking a break on the couch.
I went over to my friend Kristy’s last weekend to take some photos of her cooking and to use my polaroid film that I haven’t tested yet. Here are two of the snap shots I took. Kristy and Michael are probably one of the cutest couples, not to mention really...

Lord Let It Rain On Me
As a California native, I must say one of my least favorite things is rain and cold weather. But with my new rain boots and umbrella, I haven’t been loathing it as much. In fact, I’ve been quite excited when I look up the weather report and see that there is a chance of rain. Most of the time I put on my rainboots, it doesn’t end up raining while I’m outside, since I sit...

Polaroid Test
I’m so bummed because yesterday I took out one of my Polaroid cameras that I finally bought an external flash for, and none of the pictures were coming out. I had bought expired film, and some previous exposures from the same cartridge came out fine. But, I’m not sure if it’s too much light, not enough light, or just that it is even more expired now that the photos aren’t...

t-lag asked: Your closet looks so nice and orderly! Where do you keep your pants and denim? Did you feel the need to downsize on the amount of clothing you owned prior to moving from SD to NYC? Are you ready for an East Coast winter?

Precious Belongings
I’ve moved three times in New York, and every time I move, I swear I’m going to do a tour of my new room. I finally remembered yesterday when I got home from dinner, so I snapped a few photos of my favorite things to show you.
When I moved into this apartment, one of the things that I was most excited was a normal sized closet. Most of the ones in New York are tiny or you don’t...

A Good Birthday
If you know me, you know one of the things I love most is food. This past weekend was filled with delicious food. On Friday night, Alex and I went to A Salt and Battery for some fish and chips. Then, on Saturday night - we hit it up again! This time we got a Chips Butty. A Chips Butty is apparently a chip sandwich, so a ton of french fries between two pieces of buttery bread! Fantastic! After we...

Hello to Twenty Three!
Yesterday was my birthday, and I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who sent me birthday wishes and presents! An extra big shout out to my friends who came out to celebrate with me this weekend, and of course lots of more belated birthday festivities in the next few days to come.
I kept my actual birthday pretty low key. I had my first day at my new position at The Agency Group as...

Lazy Lasagna Recipe
One of my favorite things is making a big meal that can be portioned out for a few days to bring to work for lunch. That way I can save some money during the week and not order lunch (which can be a very slippery slope!)
So here is my super easy “Lazy Lasagna” recipe. I call it lazy because I have made lasagna from scratch before, and this recipe calls for a lot less effort, time,...

Birthday Wishlist 2010
My birthday is coming up so soon! Next Monday I will be 23. This past year has flew by so quickly, many things have changed but I’m in a really good place right now. A few things will be changing in the next week which I’m not able to announce quite yet, but I’m excited about it all.
Every year I do a little dream wishlist for my birthday. The following things are all...
