i'm aliiiiiivvvveeeee

the blog is back. i'm sorry for the absence. i have no excuses, but i was living life. when i wasn't trying to get into fashion week parties, i was winning fresh prince of bel air trivia contests. if i wasn't watching jay-z or tainted love, i was playing volleyball or snowboarding. and if i wasn't doing anything, i was simply too tired to post.

winter has come and gone in ny. the so called "harsh" winter proved nothing more than some goosebumps and slightly red ears. i enjoyed it as fresh snow layered the city and central park became a sledding playground. my favorite piece of clothing became my bubble jacket. although the fashion police would have confiscated it, it was the perfect wear around town. i didn't have to layer a ton which is good because we all know i radiate heat at times and having less is more for me. but unfortunately (and fortunately) i've had to stow that away as the last week has called for lighter jackets with no need for gloves or scarves. i came to ny last year the first weekend when there was amazing weather and reflected at how it exponentially changed the moods of new yorkers. and i can see it happening again at this time. people are smiling and laughing. tourists are once again out and about stopping in the middle of the sidewalk to take pictures of the big binaca advertisement on 42nd street. restaurants are finally opening up their outdoor seating. i'm looking forward to spring and welcome all the changes that come with it.

i will try and frequent my blog more often so expect there to be updates every week. one list i want to try and start is "ny must eats." i'm sure there are plenty out there, but i want to note what friends and i believe every person should order. feel free to comment with specific items to order at various restaurants around town and i'll publish my list once finalized.
