A Week in Review
{ My cacti looking out the window on a rainy week day }
I am tired. I have no reason to be, but I am. Though absent from the usual back-to-back evening events, this week felt long and exhausting which, for me, means epic bags under my eyes. Pretty. Anyone have any handy dandy makeup tips for those evil suckers?
This weekend’s curtain raises with a friend’s birthday party tonight, has an intermission of margaritas tomorrow for cinco de mayo, and closes with a completely blank agenda on Sunday. Brilliant. Here’s a little look at this week’s happenings.
Have a margarita-filled weekend!

A Week in Review

It currently feels like the start of Spring in New York, which of course gives me anxiety because you just know there’s going to be a giant snowstorm in the middle of Fashion Week, but I have my fingers and toesies and eyeballs crossed that the crisp, sunny weather sticks like the snow should be doing right about now.
Though I’ve been staring longingly out the window at the perfect weather while being chained to my desk with Fashion Week prep, this week has been surprisingly manageable (calm before the snow storm?). This weekend however, is going to be one giant whirlwind as I finalize schedules, attend a few fittings, start my apartment search (wh0 slipped me those crazy pills, honestly?), and of course, the Super Bowl, otherwise known as nachos fest. I’m hoping to get a bit of rest in there somewhere because there’s no need to get bags under my eyes before Fashion Week, since it’s pretty good at doing that for me by day 3. God, I love Fashion Week season!

Local Jaunt : Flying A
I know you guys were expecting a “Week in Review” for today, but let’s mix things up shall we?
Ok. Here we go!
The first store on my Mastercard Priceless New York shopping tour list is Flying A, where affordable casual chic jeans, jackets, and jumpers hangout with 1960s boho dresses and romper boots. I admittedly had never heard of this store before but now have it wedged into my hefty list of must-stop Soho shops. I must have tried on over eight pairs of their colorful denim this past weekend and am still cursing myself for not buying a pair of Pour la Victoire chestnut brown boots. Another item on my “curse myself for not buying” list are some ridiculously cute necklaces with teeny tiny animal charms (and when I say teeny tiny I mean it – a little piggy’s tail was less than a centimeter long!). As much as I try to convince myself that my style is sophistication at it’s finest, I have a serious weakness for cute animal accessories. Luckily, now that Flying A is on my radar I’ll have plenty of other opportunities to buy the aforementioned boots and necklaces and all those other pieces I deem as “necessities.”
