Valentine’s Winter Warmup 2025 Mini Mix
Just as all of us in the Mid-Atlantic finished defrosting from January’s polar vortex, Staten Island Chuck’s Groundhog Day prediction indicated we’d have an early spring! I’m very much hoping that Punxsutawney Phil is just too close to the Midwest to see the spring in his sights. I’m so ready for warmer sweater weather. In preparation…

Winter 2020 Crazy Love Playlist
I decided to wait until Valentine’s Day to post this season’s winter playlist, a list of love-themed songs that I feel have a bit of a crazy vibe to them. And don’t be fooled—this playlist is not all mush. I’ve thrown in a few songs about heartbreak as well to truly encompass the wide range…

DSLR Diaries: Misc Fall ’19-Winter ’20
I haven’t done a DSLR Diaries for a little while, and it feels strange, so I’m rummaging through my camera roll for some miscellaneous fall-winter 19/20 photos to share with you guys.

Winter 2018 Calling Your Name Playlist pt. 2
So I’ve been hella busy, stressed out, and in pain over the last few weeks. Therefore, I decided to take a little break from blogging.

Gallery Mondays: Kimberly Witham’s Sleepy Squirrel
You may remember the beautiful deer by Kimberly Witham from On Ripeness and Rot at Last Rites Gallery that I posted for a Gallery Mondays last fall. Since winter is coming, I’ve decided to feature another one of her creations, this time, a squirrel. She features squirrel’s in quite a few of her pieces. Squirrels are such random…

Wardrobe Wednesdays: Rihanna @ JFK Airport
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a person look so cozy in a coat before. Rihanna was spotted at JFK Airport yesterday, January 17th, wearing a tan colored reversible shearling coat, ripped boyfriend jeans, and brown boots. I myself am not one to try rocking a pair of distressed jeans (mainly because I grew up…

Gallery Mondays: Winter Rabbit
We had our first official snow day of 2017 this weekend. Not fun. On my way to the N train last week, I walked by Chase bank on West 39th between Fashion Ave. and Broadway when I saw this cute winter rabbit on the window. I just love how innocent and vulnerable he looks! The…

Wardrobe Wednesdays: Kristen Cavallari’s Grey Day
Kristen Cavallari was a vision dressed head to toe in grey with splash of white on one of the last days of 2016. She paired white pants with a long grey wool coat, grey sweater and grey suede tassel boots in a cute Instagram pic dated December 27th. This is the perfect look for those winter…

Fan Art Fridays: Elsa, Olaf & Anna
Thursday was the first day of winter, so it’s only fitting that I feature every kid’s favorite winter-themed animated film, Frozen on this week’s Fan Art Fridays. I found this piece of fan art by A-KA over on Tumblr. Elsa, Olaf and Anna are in complete selfie mode in this colored pencil work of art,…

Gallery Mondays: “Winter Break” by Adrian Tomine
Mid-winter break is over, kiddos. Last week I found myself wandering into The POWERHOUSE Arena, a bookstore/exhibition space in Brooklyn, where I came across several prints by cartoonist Adrian Tomine. Tomine’s “Winter Break” stood out to me the most for two reasons. The first was the fact that it was actually mid-winter break for NYC public school students,…
