Early Easter

Went out last week with B for a little Easter celebration since we knew we wouldn't really be celebrating on the actually holiday. We would be coming back from our friend's wedding in Ohio. 

Without a second thought we put on some of our most colorful clothes and went to a lovely dinner and enjoyed some yummy ice cream from Sundaes and Cones (which I'm almost positive I mentioned in another post. You should all go because it's delicious) 

*Last minute edit: I realized this blog has been a little all over the place when it comes to our style posts. B has a pretty consistent sense of style but mine is really an explosions of different parts of me. There are parts of me that are preppy colorful chic (as pictured below) festival inspired, super casual or bold and sexy. Most people also have a diverse sense of style to them so I go out and don't be afraid to rock them!

Escape to Van Cortland Park

This week was suppose to be a quiet one and it turned out to be extremely hectic with shoots. Mostly headshot sessions so it's been what seems like almost endless running around. It's a good busy that I love but I haven't been giving this blog enough attention. I love all of the style posts I've been doing and I love being able to work with these incredible companies but I'm very excited to be doing some more creative work now that the weather is getting warmer. I'm extremely excited to be finally getting to a fun project I've had under wraps with my friends Krystal and Addy.  

This week I received a package filled with really amazing pieces that you'll see posted in the next couple of weeks. I'm so excited to style all of these fantastic looks. B and I took to my favorite park in New York City, Van Cortland Park. I grew up right across the street from it and I use to refer to it as my back yard. I learned how to garden, swim, play tennis, ride my bike and so much more in that park. I love being able to bring my love there to relax and hang out. It's beautiful just like Central Park but without hundreds and hundreds of people wandering around. I highly recommend going up to explore if you ever the time. 

  Illustrator (and my best and oldest friend) Krystal Quiles also got in on the fun this week and did a quick sketch of B and I for this weeks style post! She drew our inner spirit animals in our looks for this week. If you look closely you'll notice I'm channeling my inner Panda look (because we all know my spirit animal is a panda) and B's spirit animal has been picked as our little pup Charlie.

This week on Instagram (February 16th - February 23rd)

This week started out with the prospect of being busy and ended up being pretty slow. This week coming up is going to be hectic and I'm so excited. 

Here are some of the highlights of the week but if you want to see more follow me HERE on Instagram.

We had a double date dumpling cooking night on tuesday. Find the recipe delicious HERE

B and I celebrated our two year anniversary by going to Ushiwaka Maru, a sushi place where the only recognizable item on the menu was spicy tuna. B brought me there so I could be adventurous and try new foods. I was skeptical at first but it turned out to be an amazing experience. If you get the opportunity to go you should.

The morning before I left for DC spent drinking tea with my Anthropologie mug and in my American Apparel Pajama set (which apparently they don't sell anymore)

My obsession with Buffalo Exchange followed me all the way to Georgetown where I found this beautiful statement piece for $6.50

Met up with friend and owner of Sassyandbadassy.blogspot.com, Ella Rinaldo, to discuss life, collaborations and shoes. (Fun fact: the delicious dumpling recipe is from her blog and there are more recipes and lifestyle advice there so be sure to check it out)

Look out for a post coming soon about the National Zoo!

A quick recap of the past week.

 On Monday I met my newest nephew, Liam.

Justin and Aiden waiting at the hospital 

 Brian and I ended up on a billboard in Times Square for Axe's Kiss For Peace campaign.

We saw Pippin on Broadway. If you have the chance to see it you really should. It's such an entertaining show.
