That Girl is a Mustang

It’s finally Friday and it’s finally going to hit the 70’s this weekend (the temperature, not the decade - although I am channeling those vibes with this lewk). I AM SO EXCITED. So excited in fact that I didn’t have time to shave my legs but who gives a fuck, I’m gonna wear them bare anyway. It’s too beautiful out to care about any of this grooming shit. Amirite, fellow hairy leggers?

I’m going to be ringing in the weekend tonight by getting a lamb platter from my local halal cart (the best one in the whole damn city - I swear) and catching up on This Is Us and crying on the couch. But then tomorrow I’ll be heading down to South Jersey to visit a friend’s new house and experience even WARMER weather. Hallelujah, Mother Nature has come THROUGH for us east coasters. My mom shorts are coming out of hibernation and I am here for it.

What are you guys up to this weekend?

Swing High, Swing Low

April 10, 2018

Swing High, Swing Low

I've been living in our current apartment with Jeremy and the kitties for almost three years now and we've really grown to fall in love with our little five block radius. If you walk a block or two up north, you hit the subway station, our local pharmacy, the best halal food in the city, our kick-boxing studio, and our gym. If you walk a few blocks south, you hit an enormous grocery store where we do all of our Sunday meal prep. Then if you walk a block or two east, you hit a little mini-suburb (which is nice when I'm tired of the city), complete with an Applebee's, a Panera, a P.C. Richard & Son, this playground, and ~*~ a movie theater ~*~...that accepts Moviepass. 

So naturally,  Jeremy and I have been seeing movies right and left recently, which works out nicely with all the killer movies that have been coming out. Earlier this week, I sucked up my fear of horror movies and went to go see A Quiet Place. If you haven't seen it yet, GO SEE IT.  Some how, John Krasinski has convinced me that I might just like horror movies, which is baffling considering the emotional and stressful rollercoaster ride he took me on with that storytelling. Anyone else see A Quiet Place yet?

Bare Thighs and I'm Feelin' Alright (AKA Freezing)

April 8, 2018

Bare Thighs and I'm Feelin' Alright (AKA Freezing)

Don't let my bare thighs fool you; it's still freezing over here in New York City and mid-April is getting closer day-by-day. It's hard to believe the first day of summer is just a little over two months away and spring has yet to make it's oh-so-anticipated appearance. Meanwhile, everyone I know in the Southwest is in the middle of almost three-digit temperatures, which is actually baffling to me. Is there no middle ground anymore?!

On a non-weather-related note, Jeremy and I have gotten into the habit of going to open houses lately, even though we're not seriously looking to buy anytime soon (mainly since demand is so high when it comes to buying in New York City....just as high as the asking prices). Looking at listing after listing, I wondered to myself, will it ever be possible to buy in the city without being filthy stinkin' rich? (Read this in the voice of Carrie Bradshaw.)

That's a Load of Bull Shirt

That's a Load of Bull Shirt

I’m loving the return of the graphic tee these days. I remember back when I used to work at my local dELiA*s (shout out to the alternating caps); they used to have a full on graphic tee wall (where I learned to perfect the skill of folding a t-shirt) and they were all the rage. I would spend my salary buying shirts that had the weirdest things on them: food pyramids, Dr. Suess drawings, and vintage brands. Then came a lull period in the early 2010’s. Well, bless the last two years for ramping them back up again, this time focusing on typography and badass sayings. I’ll take ‘em. I'll take 'em all!

Also, can we talk about that fact that when these photos were taken this morning, it was 32°F, which is unusually low for an April 5th? Don't let my short sleeves fool you - I'm freezing. Mother Nature needs to get her act together because by April 25th, thanks to Miss Congeniality, I expect the weather to be "not too hot, [and] not too cold, [where] all you need is a light jacket."
