in my closet

The weather’s so great today, I’m so excited to bare some shoulders and legs (the less material the better!). After trying on 20 dresses I went back to this one, an old favorite from Urban Outfitters. The best part about this dress is that you never have to iron it, no matter how balled up it’s been in the back of the dresser.

I got these feather earrings for $3 at Forever 21. I always get Pocahontas comments when I wear them.

enjoy the sunny weekend!

Amore, it’s sunny and 79 degrees here in NYC today and I was planning on going for a bike ride this morning. But I woke up with a bit of a hangover. I know I said I was going to try to drink less- but it was free so I am saving like I said I would! : )

I decided to take in this beautiful day from my roof top. I’m wearing a big floppy hat because I’m vowing to keep my face out of the sun this summer. I ain’t getting any younger, you know?

I’m so proud of this yummy little lunch that I made. Tuna salad with mesclun greens, avocado, and balsamic vinaigretteĀ in a whole wheat wrap. Mmmm.

Oh and I made this shake of strawberries, orange juice, and mango sorbet for dessert.

This weekend I don’t have any plans aside from going to see Greg Holden with Bionic Woman tonight. Planless weekends are always the best because it leaves plenty of room for me to get into some trouble. hehe. If you’re in NYC I hope you’re enjoying this lovely weather! baci!

ice cream pinata

I’m debating having a BBQ on my roof deck for my birthday. Wouldn’t this mint chocolate chip ice cream cone pinata be great?

doing things

I’m in yet another one of my funks. I took a look at my finances the other day and let’s just say it’s not how I’d like them to look. And lately, I’ve been hating everything I’m writing- It’s a cycle most writers go through- One minute you think you’re typing gold and the next you want to throw it all out, laptop and all.

My birthday is coming up in a month and I tend to do a little self reflection around this time and I’m beating myself up a bit. But giving myself bruises and telling myself I’m a broke, sucky writer isn’t going to get me anywhere. I actually need to do something about it, don’t I. So up until my birthday I will be on a “Get Your Shit Together” plan. Eating better, drinking less, working out, and writing more. Oh, and I’m not spending a penny (except for subway and groceries) until my birthday. It’s just a month. How hard can it be?

Funny People

I’ve been wanting to see Funny People since its release last summer but everyone told me it was a pretty depressing movie. I finally got around to watching it last night with The Boy (we’re doing ok. I stopped being crazy) and I don’t know what everyone was talking about. Adam Sandler plays a famous comedian who finds out he’s dying and hires Ira Wright, played by Seth Rogen, to help him write new material and sort out his life. I thought the characters were great, showing that some humor comes from pain, and loved watching the journey of the young struggling comedians, Ira Wright and Leo Koenig, played by Jonah Hill. The jealousy, doubt, and competition reminded me of something my friends and I- as aspiring actors, writers, models, directors- can relate to. Def add this to your Netflix! So many laugh out loud jokes!
