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.

Fan Art Fridays: Emily Blunt
Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway went head to head in a rerun of Lip Sync Battle on SPIKE last night. I’m not gonna lie, I really wanted Emily to win. I love them both, but come on! “No Diggity”?! I’m convinced that all of the women of England have secret rap talents. Anyway, enjoy this piece of…

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?!

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…

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…

Gallery Mondays: Marcos Chin’s ‘Fulton Street, Beneath the Beautiful Blue’
I was riding the Q53 bus a few days ago when I saw illustrator Marcos Chin’s Fulton Street, Beneath the Beautiful Blue above the seats in front of the bus. If you ride the NYC MTA subway, you’ve probably seen some of his other art, filled with interesting people and vibrant colors. What I love the…

May Favorites: Zayn’s Mismatched Shoes, the New Instagram & Fake Books
I was having too much fun lately so this monthly favorites is kind of overdue—I’m aware. May started out sort of on the meh side, but as the month progressed and my birthday came around, things were getting pretty interesting in the world of pop culture. I had way too much fun with YouTube this…

Photo Diary: 7 Days in Niagara Falls, CA
From May 27th to June 2nd, I visited Niagara Falls in Ontario, Canada. Yes, I’m crossing one off my 30 Before 30 list, because I’ve finally visited a foreign country! I went with the ‘rents, who decided to take the 7 hour drive up there from NYC. Thankfully, I’m not a kid anymore, so I…
