Lately my weeks have been jammed with social engagements… which really is how I like them. Might as well make the most of the late sunsets and warm weather. Over the weekend, members of the Blogger Social Club got together to celebrate Kim’s blogiversary for I Have a Degree in This!. We had brunch at Lil’ Frankie’s, which was not at all what I was expecting. I loved the exposed brick and slightly Victorian-looking décor. …
Sparkle and Sip in the LES
Last week I attended a double birthday party (a real birthday party, not a blogiversary— I swear) for What Would Ashley Wear? and A Day in the Life of Andrea, fellow members of The Bloggers’ Collective here in New York. I’m so glad I got to reconnect with Naina, whom I feel like I hadn’t seen in forever! …
Pink and Pink
Lately all I think I say how hot it is… but it is. Too hot for photos, really. There’s usually a breeze in Brooklyn, but it doesn’t help much when all you can feel is hot air. I’m wearing the coolest things I can, which include flowy shirts, a few pieces of jewelry, and sensible shoes. Are flatforms still popular this summer? I have no idea. I’m going to go with yes because Eva Chen is still wearing hers. …
The Woods are Lovely, Dark, and Deep
Of course I wear a peplum and some sandals for a walk in the woods. Wouldn’t you? …
98 Degrees
I don’t know about you, but the temperatures here been crazy. Way beyond the normal kind of hot for summer. I planned on buying for fall this week (July is my cut-off date for summer clothing because after that I feel like I don’t get enough wear out of things) but I haven’t been able to face the thought of trying on clothing. …
On Fridays We Wear Black
So apparently bloggers get together and wear black to celebrate blogiversaries. Or maybe that’s only blogiversaries in New York? In any case, on Friday evening some members of the Blogger Social Club (Hope, Jamillah, Kim, Kristine (who has a blog but does not update it), Luz, Nnenna, and me) got together to celebrate Nnenna’s Two-Year Blogiversary for Star-Crossed Smile.
If you’d like to join our social club, email, tweet, leave a comment, etc. so I can let you know when we meet. …
Afternoon in the Garden
Leopard Dress and a Bucket List Cross Off
I don’t have an official New York bucket list– although I think I should definitely make one so I don’t forget anything. I’ve been wanting to go to Penelope for the longest time, and I finally did! Penelope doesn’t take reservations so it can be practically impossible to get in. Early dinner was a good time to go. I had the fish and chips, which were totally amazing. The brunch menu looks excellent, too, but I’ve heard the wait can be more than an hour. Way too long for me.
I love exploring new places– do you have any recommendations for things to do in New York?

Interview on Star-Crossed Smile
Guess what? My first interview for the blog is up on Star-Crossed Smile!
And also, my friend Luz (photographed at the MomTrends + Tide Coldwater event) also blogged about the event. There’s a fun photo of me taking a photo of her :)
