Manicure Monday: Sweet Floral
Happy Manicure Monday! After a great holiday weekend, I’m feeling flirty and floral today. I decided to try to take the difficulty level of my manis up a notch this week – but don’t worry, they’re still totally DIYable. Just like my leopard print manicure, the best part about this nail art is that it doesn’t […]
Curry on Murray: Pittsburgh, PA
I’m currently traveling for a week in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and I am excited to share some local flavors! The first bit of Pittsburgh I got seriously excited about is Thai restaurant, Curry on Murray. It’s appropriately located on Murray Ave. in the Squirrel Hill section of Pittsburgh. (Which came first: the name, or the real estate?) I […]
Listen: Frank Ocean, ‘Sweet Life’
“Sweet Life” by Frank Ocean Genre: R&B “Sweet Life” sounds like: a Bobby Caldwell or George Benson instrumental put over a hip-hop beat with smooth (but not cheesy) Stevie Wonder-like R&B vocals Worth checking out: the entirety of Ocean’s mixtape, nostalgia, ULTRA.

Keep the Change, Ya Filthy Animal
I beat him to the sushi restaurant. Figured I’d order myself a Sapporo while I waited – really, the perfect sushi date drink next to hot sake. Sapporo shows a football watching, keeping-up-with-the-guys type gal, which perfectly contrasts the LBD (Little Black Dress) with heels, while also tapping into Japanese culture. Apparently this guy lived […]
Let your kid flag fly! The Legend of Korra
I get that cartoons aren’t for everyone and most of us haven’t watched Nickelodeon since middle school but if you’re looking for an entertaining and exciting animated show this summer I strongly suggest you check out Nickelodeon’s new animated television series: The Legend of Korra. The Legend of Korra is the sequel to creator’s Michael […]
Manicure Monday: Preppy Blues
My inspiration for this week’s Manicure Monday came from my weekend getaway in Ocean City, Maryland with my boyfriend. I’m typically dedicated to the Jersey Shore, but as a last hurrah before we both start work, we decided to do some traveling. Ocean City is absolutely beautiful. For those of you that know the Jersey […]
