A Week in Review
{ Last weekend in the Hamptons }
It’s finally starting to feel like summer! Instead of jumping from 50° to 80° in a matter of 24 hours, things have been pretty consistent. Me likey. I’ll be spending most of this weekend outdoors at the Googamooga Festival (I have a love/hate relationship with that name), so hopefully I’ll work up a good tan. Are any of you going? If so, make sure to say hello!
As for this week, it totally flew by! I didn’t have a single night or day off and for the first time in awhile I actually enjoyed it! We all know how much I love an evening with my couch, but this week’s evening activities were a perfect combination of work events and fun with friends.
Have a good weekend!

Behind the Scenes with Revlon
I have some very exciting news to share with all of you that I’ve had to keep tippy top secret until now! Earlier this week I headed into the studio with Glamour and Revlon (!!) to shoot an advertisement that will come out in October!
Makeup artist Claire Bayley gave me an amazing cat eye (how fitting, right?!) and orangey red stained lips, while hair stylist Greg Bitterman emphasized my natural waves by taming out the gross frizz that comes with this season’s humidity. Then it was onto the set with the amazing photographer Sarah Silver who not only made me totally comfortable in front of the camera (sometimes I get nervous) but she also had me meowing and hissing in between shots. Purr-fect! I also went outside with street style photographer, Patrick Butler, but since it was raining we got to hide out in this cool furniture store while simultaneously doing some shopping! Suffice it to say – I had an amazing time!
Here are some behind-the-scenes photos from the day. A huge thank you to Glamour, Revlon, and the entire team for covering up my pimple and making this one of the funnest days yet!

A Week in Review
{ Rubirosa pizza for my best friend‘s birthday }
Have you ever eaten so much in one night that four days later you’re still full? That’s me. Right now. My best friend Erin‘s birthday was this week and being the food lover that I am she is, she ordered enough food at Rubirosa to feed 40 hungry bears. I ate for about 30 of the bears and have been ready for hibernation mode ever since. Great way to kick off bikini season Sonia, really.
And speaking of bikini season, I’m off to the Hamptons this weekend for some fun with friends before coming back on Sunday to spend a very special Mother’s Day with my mom who just so happens to be in town on this very special weekend! Here’s to more eating!

Daddy Long Legs
As much as I love a high-waisted skirt, the whole high-waisted pants thing has never really felt “right” for me. For starters, all I can ever think about is that scene in Dazed and Confused when the girls have to zip each others pants up with pliers (for those of you who don’t know this movie, well, I’m sorry). And the other factor in my high-waisted pants debacle is that they can sometimes make me feel too, for lack of a better word, womanly. Hubba hubba.
Having said all that, this marvelous pair of extra high-waisted, extra long, extra red Alice & Olivia pants are a whole other can of hot pepper high-waisted worms. They’re almost too long for me (I have to wear at least 5 inch heels with them), they’re almost too high for me (they fasten well above my belly button), and they’re almost too red for me (I wore them on New Years and was heckled “thats a lot of red…” it is, creepy heckler, it is). But despite all that too much crap, they happen to be one of my most beloved pairs of pantalónes in my closet. Along with being the closest thing to pajamas in fabric, they make my legs look like they’re a mile long which, let’s face it, is never a bad thing. Unless you’re actually a Daddy Long Legged spider in which case, I am going to squish you. Too da loo.

{ All Wrapped Up }
I recently had a reader ask me what outfit is my favorite on my blog. I had no idea how to respond, so I did what any good cartoon character would do and scratched my head for quite some time. I came to the bald spot conclusion, that I really don’t have a favorite – kind of like cheese; they all taste good to me, though some are better than others depending on the day.
So much of this blog is about being honest about what I’m wearing — I really try not to put together outfits for the sake of them going on here (though there have been a few times where I’ve done s0). But since you asked, dear reader, here are a few of my current favorites (with links to their respective posts) on this rainy Wednesday. Or you could overlook this whole post and realize that it’s been raining in NYC for 23209204983230 days, leaving outdoor photo shoots pretty much out of the question.
But I actually would really like to know – what are some of your favorites? Peep them all on my outfits page!
