California Day 3: Hollywood Walk of Fame, Wattles Park & Pool Time
Could be New York, maybe Hollywood and Vine … – Hilary Duff For Labor Day in California, we spent some time on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I wanted to find Sandra Bullock’s star but my parents and aunt got tired of walking before we were anywhere close. Cue photos with Frank Sinatra, Audrey Hepburn,…

Los Angeles, Los Angeles, don’t ever let them change you … – The Bird and the Bee Since I screwed up real bad the day before with the whole walking to the store thing, my mom and my aunt vowed to never again walk long distances for the duration of our trip. My dad decided…

California Day 1: Walking to the Wrong Store Location in Montebello
Last week I went to California with my family! I’ve decided to document my 6-day trip with a daily blog post of my adventures. We stayed in a hotel in Montebello, and visited Los Angeles for the majority of our sightseeing trips. Here’s what we did on day one! Hoped off the plane at LAX…

Gallery Mondays: Hope Gangloff @ Susan Inglett Gallery
I stepped out this morning at about 7:45 a.m. and it was 60 °F. Fall is definitely upon us. This painting by Hope Gangloff reminds me of the weather that’s coming to NYC soon. It just makes you want to curl up on a chair with some tea. I saw this painting back in May at…

Gallery Mondays: ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ Exhibit @ Hofstra’s Filderman Gallery
Since I graduated from Hofstra University in December, I didn’t go back to school last week, and I’m feeling a little bit nostalgic. I visited the David Filderman Gallery at Hofstra for a news writing class assignment during the fall of 2013, and there I found some of the most beautiful Japanese ladies in the Land…

August Favorites: Wee Blind Girl, Adele’s Upcoming Album & “Wildest Dreams” Music Video
August 2015 will go down in history as the month of the heart-wrenching cliffhanger season finales. Between the Suits, Pretty Little Liars, and Devious Maids season finales, I can’t tell who won. Did all the screenwriters of the world band together to plan this?! Anyway, no podcast for this month (sorry, I was too busy adulting), but here’s a list…

Gallery Mondays: Ever Blanco Valverde’s Owl @ Chashama 266 Gallery
Earlier this month, I was running an errand in NYC and stumbled across one of Chashama‘s exhibit spaces on 37th Street in the Garment District. The space is only open by appointment, so I couldn’t get in. Nonetheless, I managed to snap a photo of this stern-looking owl painting by Ever Blanco Valverde through the glass. The solo…

Gallery Mondays: Cernesto’s Pabst Goddess
It’s such a nice day out in New York, especially for what’s supposed to be 93 degree weather, so Gallery Mondays is headed to the outdoors this week. I found this lovely goddess on Beford and N 8th in Brooklyn about two months ago. She’s holding Pabst Blue Ribbon beers in three of her four…

Wardrobe Wednesdays: Chrissy Teigen at JFK Airport
I don’t know about you, but I’d be quite skeptical about walking around the airport in heeled booties… However, Chrissy Teigen looks like a BAMF sans makeup in these hexagon sunglasses, brown leather jacket, and studded bag. I can’t even pull off wearing black with brown, and she was bold enough add not only…

Gallery Mondays: Aristide Maillol’s ‘The River’
Back in the fall of 2013, I visited the MoMa Sculpture Garden. I got there right before it closed so I didn’t get to enjoy it too much, but it’s a great place to sit down and have a peaceful reading session. My favorite sculpture was The River by French sculptor Aristide Maillol. The statue lies…
