MARY J

i am a very very big mary j blige fan, so it's needless to say that i freaked out when i saw her in bergdorf's over the weekend. i was casually surveying the 5F shoes when my sister whispered "mary j's over there". i was sooo excited to see her in person. she's beautiful and i love her!!!

TEAM JACOB

this weekend was great; my sister and j came to visit me in new york and i finaly got around to the movies to see eclipse. although i didnt read any of the books, now that ive seen three of the movies i can officially say im a twilight fan and im totally on team jacob hahah

BACK IN NY!

im back in new york for a summer internship and im loving it! im so happy to be hanging out with my friends in the city again. while back in the city, ive vowed to take advantage of all the art galleries and theaters so last weekend i went to see savion glover at the joyce theatre [it was literally awesome, he moves his feet sooooo fast] and tuesday i went to see the new york city skateboard photography exhibition at the milk gallery, it was opening night so there was an open bar and a lot of people [including cute skaters]

THE FOURTH

i spent the fourth of july in martha's vineyard this year. it was sooo much [maybe too much] fun. so many of my friends were there [including j] and there were ample cookouts and beach parties. the vineyard has such a good vibe, it's so laid back and the same people go every year so it's like a home away from home!

KING OF POP

one year later. he was the greatest entertainer who ever lived.

TORY BURCH

went to the king of prussia tory burch store for a brand party... i really wish i was a better blogger and brought my digi but alas, no pictures. it was fun, tory was there and they had tons of mini fare, my favorite! mini cheeseburgers, petit grilled cheeses, tiny tacos etc.etc.

SUMMER

doesnt that picture ooze summer? well the usual summer lull in posts has begun. but here's what ive been up to:
-went to a traditional probate [my friend came out as an AKA]
-went to my buddy ace's fashion show [i posted about his clothing here]
-became addicted to osteria's parma pizza [my sister's friend even made a delicious homemade version for me to devour]
-went to union trust for the first time [delicioso]
-became addicted to the guacamole and queso fundido at stephen starr's new mexican restaurant el rey [ive been doing a lot of eating, clearly]
-went to some graduation parties
-started summer school [as a transfer student, ive learned i have to actively pursue on-time graduation = no days off]
-went to the phillies-red sox game, and although we lost we had the best seats and i enjoyed cracking peanut shells and screaming at the ump
-saw sex and the city 2 [the jury is still out on that one...]
-had a great memorial day weekend, on sunday i went to the beach in margate nj [where my family owned a shore house for most of my childhood] it was soo nostalgic for my sis and i and we had a great time with our friends. on monday i went to a stellar barbq in my friend's backyard in harlem. his dad and his aunt own adjacent browstones and their backyard is such a nice place for summer parties full of grilled food, hipster fashion, and good music
so summer is off to a wonderful start, dont forget to check for updates on sugarshirt as well!

JEREMY SCOTT

jeremy scott 2010 collection, i love it... this will be every hipster's halloween costume

COOKIE DOUGH

just a little something to make you laugh: j and i at the ben and jerry's in the lobby of harrah's casino in atlantic city [we were there for our friend's birthday party]

SNACK BAR

i went to dinner with my sister and her friend teresa a little while ago and forgot to post. we debated over which of our usual favorite restaurants to go to and finally decided to try a new place. the "snack bar" was just the breath of fresh air we needed. the snack bar offers an intimate atmosphere, good food, and an attentive staff. first we cozied up to the bar for drinks while waiting for our table. once seated we were pleasantly surprised by the menu options. though the snack bar has several "snack" options they also have carefully chosen entree options made from seasonal ingredients. I had the beet salad and the mushroom gnocchi but i also shared some cheeses with the girls [a manchego and a triple cream, sooo delicious]. as much as you love your favorite restaurant it is always nice to try a new place!

PROCRASTINATION

although i should be writing a reallllly long paper that is due tomorrow, i am instead searching the web for dessert recipes. How delicious do lucky charms treats sound? [substituting lucky charms cereal for the traditional krispies]

SHAMELESS

vashtie had her birthday dinner at the place where i had my birthday dinner two years ago. i am shamelessly admitting that i feel pretty cool about that hahaha
