Gallery Mondays: Spa
We got our first snow in NYC over the weekend, but I wasn’t even mad because I had a reservation at Russian and Turkish Baths in the East Village. I went with Karina, who has been to a few other bath houses before the one we went to on Saturday. It was my first time…

Gallery Mondays: Dream Jar
I went to the NJEA at the Atlantic City Convention Center in New Jersey again this year for work. I was super excited to see the student artwork there, and I wasn’t disappointed. I saw this really great mixed media piece by Irving Adame from Haddon Township High School. As soon as I saw it,…

It’s crazy how she combines the two so gracefully, almost as they…

I saw this work of art resembling the U.S. Capitol at Robert Miller Gallery last year. It’s by Cuban art group Stainless and the piece is called Black Capitol (Capitolo Negro). I found it fascinating that…

Wardrobe Wednesdays: Irina Shayk in New York
I’m going to need a minute because I just found out that Irina Shayk is Bradley Cooper’s girlfriend. Where have I been?! Anyway, the Russian model was spotted in New York recently wearing an army green bomber jacket, perfect for fall weather. She paired it with black leggings, a tan suede Yves St. Laurent bag…

Fan Art Fridays: Mirror Mirror
On the way to work this morning, I saw a guy dressed as the Big Bad Wolf in Grandma’s nightgown and I could not stop laughing to myself about it. It got me thinking of my favorite fairy tales. One of my faves as a kid was Snow White, and I especially loved Mirror Mirror as…
