The Aviator

Over the weekend I took a brief trip to New York City to meet my sisters and introduce them to my boyfriend. My sisters aren’t the most timely and our room at the Waldorf wasn’t quite ready so we decided to go find ourselves a Bloody Mary (or two, or three.)  That was easier said than done and we very cleverly found ourselves at CafĂ© SFA at Saks Fifth Avenue.  We popped in, had a few Bloody’s and moved on.

On our way out the door, we passed by the sunglasses section and my boyfriend tried on a pair of Marc Jacobs aviators.  A while back, I mentioned that I thought he would look great in a pair of Ray-Ban Original Aviators.  I asked the sales associate for a pair and, was I right or was I right?  I couldn’t quite get over how they transformed my already handsome boyfriend into a movie star.  I swooned a little, and so did the sales people.

I’ve always been a Ray-Ban fan, I wear their Jackie Ohh style and am obsessed.  I like the history of the brand, especially the original, the Aviator.

Frankly, You Should Save the Date


826DC is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6-18 with their creative and expository writing skills, and to helping teachers inspire their students to write.

I'm still learning more about this organization (which seems amazing) but I thought I'd let everyone know that James Franco will be in DC in case you want to get your stalk on.

On Daydreaming

A Case of the Blues

Maybe it's the doldrums of winter, but I'm feeling a little bit on the melancholy side the past few days.  When I fall into a funk like this, I usually listen to music that encourages the mood.  It's not "moody" or "depressing" music but it's music I like to play in the background as I sip a glass of wine and flip through the latest Vanity Fair.
