FREEDOM

I am FINALLY done with my Summer intensives for grad school (except a final, but I'll take what I can get...) and I could not be happier. August was definitely interesting this year as I was in class or doing school work for 99.99% of the time and have not seen the sun since June. But hey, I am now officially 25% done with grad school - oh how the time flies.

Anywho, I am super excited to get back to normalcy. I have recently started practicing yoga and I LOVE it and can not wait to get back into it! I am not the spiritual type at all and would typically giggle during the class, but my current lack of sleep and stress levels have caused me to gain much appreciation for it now.

Anywho - happy Friday and Labor Day! Lord knows I can use the long weekend!

Seriously though.... I feel like this week lasted two.  

In celebration of it being Friday, I thought I'd share some goodies I've been craving this week. (operative word being craving here as there needs to be a serious freeze on spending coming up - but there are just so many great things for Fall!) Here's what I got:

shhh don't tell but I just ordered this bracelet - can't wait to see how it looks!

 

Bracelet - Peplum -Necklace -Sweater

It has now been over two months, yes TWO months since I posted. I initially intended to keep at this and post about things going on in my life, but with school, work, life... this got lost in the shuffle.  

I took my first (and only it seems...) vacation this year and went to CT for a couple of days with the BF. It was lovely. We had great weather and relaxed, couldn't have asked for better! And look at that sunset!
Sigh.....

rock of ages

Judge me... I LOVE 80's music - I was meant to be an 80's child and clearly grew up in the wrong decade...

Anywho, I saw rock of ages friday night and let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised.  Now, I am no fan of Tom Cruise, or Russel Brand for that matter (gives me the creeps... never trust a man who wears such tight pants), but they were both actually really good! Who knew TC could sing?! I am probably only amongst the handful of people who actually enjoyed the movie (I was shut down at my family bbq this weekend when I voiced my opinion and sang a little rendition of my favorite mashup from the film, "more than words/heaven"... they just have bad taste!) but yeah, definitely recommend it

Happy Monday - hope Friday gets here STAT!

frenchie

I could NOT help myself... Isn't this the cutest thing you've ever seen?! One day...

On Friday I went to my first subway series! It was a ton of fun, despite the fact that the Mets, (yeah, yeah...) lost. The weather was lovely and I couldn't have asked for a better night!

We'll get 'em next time...

Now that summer is upon us, I have made the executive decision to “get healthy.” AKA eat better and attempt to go to the gym. Granted this new plan has been in action for only about a week or so, but to my credit, I have been to the gym more this week than I have been in the last six months… I probably shouldn’t admit that… Any who I am going to the Hamptons in t minus 23 days and need to get my butt in gear if I want to be swim suit ready!

Last Friday was my uncle’s 50^th birthday and we were lucky enough to go to Peter Luger’s. MMM. I know, I know, doesn’t really fit into my healthy eating plan, but I’m allowed to indulge, aren’t I? It was a lovely treat, and hands down the best steak I’ve ever had. Along with the best ice cream sundae I’ve ever had. Be jealous…



I was first introduced to the blogosphere (do people even call it this?) about a year ago. Yes, I know, a bit late to the game, but better late than never I always say! I never really understood the concept of compiling your thoughts and posting them for the world to see. I have twitter, but I don’t tweet, I’ve never used the status update on facebook, I prefer to observe…. I have to say, I was missing out! The majority of my new finds for clothing, accessories, and restaurants have come from blogs that I read and follow. I don’t know where I would be without my google reader! (joking! …. kind of…).  I figured I’d give this blogging a whirl… so here it goes!
