Moving Art

Isn't this artwork fantastic? Street art is so beautiful to me. These vibrant colors really caught my eye on this cold, wet New York afternoon. Whether painted or still, every woman has a story behind her graceful features. Even the woman pictured here in grey.

Rustic Chic

This past weekend I traveled to West Coxsackie, NY to celebrate the marriage of my two friends. We stayed in this rustic chic house that was hidden away in a beautiful and peaceful green landscape. Even the pond in the back was serene. No one took a dip, though, as a few snakes, bass, and a large turtle inhabited it. Faire attention!  

Overall, it was a wonderful weekend spent with new friends and old. We played lots of games, shared many laughs, and seldom rested. Everyone's kindness was appreciated. I don't think I could have asked for better company!

Rendezvous + NYC

Today's the day! Dré and I are on our way to rendezvous in NYC! 

This is our first "getaway" trip together and although we've only shared with you a couple times about it (here + here), we are ecstatic! In fact, we could barely contain ourselves as we said goodbye over the phone when Dré was boarding her flight-- from Gate8 I'll have you know! And, isn't it just perfect that she's coming in her 8 shirt for her first visit to the city?

As for me, I'm driving up on a coach for the 4hr trip. My shoes + wardrobe are safely-- I hope!-- stored underneath. I plan to catch some zzz's, do some work, and maybe catch a few more zzz's. Hey, I've been working weeks on end. A girl needs her beauty sleep (;

We snapped a couple pics before running out the door. Keep checking back as we update you on our fashionable adventure in America's fashion capital!

The countdown to NYC has commenced!

Dré and I are meeting up in NYC this Thursday. Can you think of a better reunion spot than the fashion capital of the USA?! The home of SJP has so many great sites to see-- from shopping in SoHo to a run in Central Park, we are going to have a blast. We are even visiting The MET  to see the new punk exhibit! I'm beyond excited!!

We want to hear from you!! Where do you think we should take the code? Share your suggestions below in the comments!
