So, what a week! Been super busy with work, which of course just means more money... which i more than likely will spend on a new fall wardrobe! Which definetly includes some new shoes. Recently I've discovered Marshalls Shoe Megashop, which is a huge store with excellent prices and product. And the best part, they're giving everyone the opportunity to win a shopping spree. Pretty cool, right?

So, I must say that American Apparel is a fantastic idea. All American made clothing is what we certainly would like to think would work out, but honestly, ew. American designers are not represented very well in this store! Although I visited the on in Omaha, Nebraska and I'm not positive that all the stores have similar merchandise, I was utterly disappointed. Their clothes look, for a lack of a better word, cheap, but are pricy! Quote from founder, Dov Charney, "At American Apparel," Charney explains animatedly, "people can mix our basics into their wardrobe as they like..." I have to agree that SOME, a limited amount, of their items could certainly be intermixed with other fashions. I actually do enjoy some of their leggings, mostly because they're fun and I think will certainly find themselves on women. But that's my personal opinion, what's yours?


And, as usual, I have been hitting some hot spots around town on my week off. But one place I desperately want to go is a new little place called ELLA . It's an ungerground circus-style music parlor, complete with a big top domed ceiling, red-curtain wallpaper and a tiny little stage just inches off the ground. This is the kind of place my friends would HATE to love, but I secretly think they'd thoroughly enjoy something different. It just reeks sex, doesn't it? Haha! Located on 9 Ave A (between Houston and 2nd St)

Hey everyone!

So, after a long hiatus I think it's time that I start writing again!

I have been all over the country in the past few months actually. Seattle, Austin, Omaha, Miami! But I'm finally back in New York and taking a week off of work.

There's a lot of exciting things going on here this week, so after I read all of these emails from my readers I'll post all about it!

I have not been active! I want to be, but this always slips my mind. Thanks to everyone who read(s) and left comments and emailed me about great opportunities.

I'm going to be posting more, I think.

:D

Forge, 134 Reade St (between Hudson and Greenwich)

I'm really going to make it a point to write more often. Things have been insane. This summer is certainly planning on being a productive one, which means more cash for me! I actually have the weel off, so a couple of my work acquaintances and myself are heading up to Forge. I like trying new places and from all the reviews, its pretty damn good. (however, it may be more of a bring-your-mistress-here kind of joint). I'll have to keep that in mind.


I think I'm going to cuddle up to a good book afterwards and sip on this delicious wine from a secret admirer of mine. It's very strange to leave a bottle of wine wrapped in a ribbon with your doorman, but I suppose it works. PS. Does anyone know where the hell to buy this stuff? Wrotham Pinot Sparkling Wine. It's making me want an alcohol problem.

And speaking of relationships (or not), I have come very fond of a Greek man that works at the grocery store. HA, yes I know how this sounds. However, I am strangely drawn to him. He also commented on how beautiful I looked in white, something every woman looks to hear. I would like to know how to go about this one, and if it's just my lust kicking in. I like to give every man a fair chance, even if they do work at a grocery store...


Off to work out quick with my trainer. It's so much more fun when the person stretching you has a Columbian accent.

Ah, Seattle.

Alright, so I'm back in NY! I never have been away for so long, but it was really exciting and fun. It's so different there. Everyone is so... how do I put this... edgy?! I dont know the word for it. Very much into music and style. It's so great! For the first week here, woke up at 5:30 AM (fuck, it sucked) and got back into my hotel room at about 10 PM. No room for shopping, exploring, or MEN (which I might say was slim pickings, but lots of cute guys at the meetings :D). After that though all I could think about was shopping. The lines there are like 5 minute waits and I rarely ever have to wait for that short of time, so yeah I went nuts.

MORE COMING AFTER I UNPACK MY STUFF!

SORRY

Been out of town on a business trip! I promise that I will be back to write often very soon when I'm back in NYC. By the way, Seattle is amazing!
