July Favorites: Bill Clinton with DNC Balloons, Goldroom’s Verano Mix & ‘Suits’ S6 Premiere
Since moving to Manhattan, by life’s been a bit hectic, so this is a late monthly faves post. I spent the first few days of July celebrating Independence Day in Washington D.C. with my parents before the big move, and then I didn’t have much time to enjoy news, TV or YouTube. So this is…

Gallery Mondays: Mark Mothersbaugh’s ‘Myopia’
Back in March when I visited Austin, Texas, I dropped by The Contemporary Austin to check out some art. The exhibit on view at the time was Mark Mothersbaugh’s ‘Myopia.’ My favorite part of the exhibit was the room filled with albums upon albums of pop art. Each card in the 4-section albums come across as…

Gallery Mondays: Audrey Hepburn
A few weeks ago I was walking down Steinway Street in Astoria with my friends and I saw this lovely multi-color street art mural of Audrey Hepburn. The amount of trucks that passed by while I was trying to take this photo is absolutely maddening. Anyway, if you’re passing by Steinway Thrift Shop near the…

Gallery Mondays: Her Conference 2016 at Old Slip
Over the weekend I attended Her Conference 2016 at Old Slip in the Financial District of NYC. The building is super lavish, complete with auditorium space, conference rooms, and a dining hall. At check in, I noticed these rectangular blocks of abstract art lined up in an interesting pattern on the wall. They all seem…

Fan Art Fridays: Emily Blunt

Wardrobe Wednesdays: Pippa Middleton @ Frost Summer Party
I’ve been a bit busy lately, but this is monumental here. Pippa Middleton is possibly engaged? What now? Where have I been and what have I been doing since Princess Charlotte’s been born?! Anyway, she showed up to the Frost Summer Party in the number above, hiding the engagement ring, it seems. Scandalous. Mr. Frosty…

Gallery Mondays: WHAC Mural @ 181 Street Station
Can you believe I didn’t see this mural as I exited the 181 Street subway station in NYC a few weeks ago? It was impossible to miss on my way back home, though. Created by WHAC (Washington Heights Arts & Comics), the mural depicts several comic-esque animals in shades of green, pink, and blue against…

June Favorites: Princess Charlotte, #OITNB Season 4 & “This Is What You Came For” Music Video
June was heartbreak month in Hollywood. The worst two for me were Demi Lovato & Wilmer Valderrama, and Taylor Swift & Calvin Harris. The former really messed me up. Then there was Zayn Malik & Gigi Hadid, but I don’t really think the fans for either of those two are ever too torn up about them being…

Gallery Mondays: Teacups and Teapots
Happy Independence Day! I saw this lovely work of art above the table I sat at with my family while eating at Perkins in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada back in May. I was fascinated by how detailed each teacup and teapot were depicted! The signature on the bottom of the piece was very hard to…
