Transitioning.

I woke up this morning freezing and realized it was 62 degrees outside. 62 degrees???  It’s totally the end of summer.

 I know last fall it was about pairing black tights with any dress but this fall I have been seeing a lot of rich colors instead of neutrals. Wine, deep turquoise, chartreuse! I can just picture my empire-waisted black dress and a pair of ankle boots with a pop of color on my legs. If you want to try out the lavish colored, festive tights, I suggest shopping at Anthropologie for vintage-y feel. Would you peeps wear colored hosiery? Emma would!

Delicious.

Wow. It’s one of those rare Monday nights where I am not zooming around town, I’m not on a conference call or in in some low lit room writing a piece. Instead, I’m at home, on my couch and watching Gossip Girl. This show is unbelieveably indulgent. I feel like I am eating a really great dessert that’s so bad for me AND loving it!!!

Only in NYC.

[redacted] (11:19:40 AM): oh my god
[redacted](11:19:51 AM): there is a hipster guy outside my place
[redacted] (11:19:58 AM): smoking body
[redacted] (11:20:01 AM): with just pants on
[redacted](11:20:04 AM): screaming
[redacted] (11:20:15 AM): yelling at his girlfriend
 (11:20:19 AM): on something
Hitha(11:20:33 AM): what??
Hitha (11:20:34 AM): omg
Hitha (11:20:39 AM): what was he saying? was he freaking out?
[redacted] (11:20:57 AM): yeah
[redacted](11:21:03 AM): i was about to call the police
[redacted] (11:21:06 AM): but he is attractive

 

Yay.

I love this picture. This was taken a couple weekends ago when my best friend Nicole (in the middle) the world famous and uber talented fashion photographer Abbey Drucker and I went out and then to  EN Japanese Brasserie for a little late night din-din.  Nicole is one of my best friends from college and like family. Because she lives in LA, it’s hard for me to see her often, but lately we’ve seen a lot of each other and I am so thankful for that. I love spending time with Drucker too- she is beyond awesome.

Clarification.

OK, ok ok. I got several e-mails (some of them civil and others not so nice) about the virtues of living in Williamsburg. Here’s the thing peeps- I wasn’t saying EVERYONE who lives in Williamsburg is a) an obnoxious hipster or b) is experiencing “revenge of the nerds” syndrome. I was just pointing out how dumb pageants are especially ones that make cute little emo guys parade around! A friend was just telling me how cool it is to live there (since I’ve only been there three times in the 10 years I’ve lived in Manhattan) and he is the BEST.  I’m no hater… well, unless we are talking about annoying things like pageants in NYC/BK/BX ‘hoods!
