Homebody Halloween

October 29, 2016


Do you hate that Halloween falls on a Monday? Do you hate dressing up and going out only to have your makeup smudged and your heel break? Do you have to take kids trick-or-treating because you’re a nanny and you know you won’t have it in you to go rage after escorting Ana and Elsa all over the Lower East Side? (Oh wait sorry, that’s just me). If so, might I suggest that you join a new club this year, and throw your own chic and chill homebody Halloween gathering. Having people over to your apartment for spiced cider/mixed drinks, food, and movies is the perfect way to still honor Halloween while keeping your costume and dignity in tact.

8 Things I Wish I Knew In College

October 15, 2016


We're told that our college years will be the best years of our life. For some, this may be true, but it's not without its struggles. I graduated 5 months ago, and lately people have been asking me for advice on how to do well in college, and I find that most of the things I tell them are things I wish I had known myself. A little background on me: I went to a medium-sized, liberal arts school in a large city that was far from home. So while my experiences may have been different from others, I believe that there are certain experiences that all college kids go through. This post is mainly geared towards those experiences and to help anyone looking for a bit of advice in how to deal with the struggle that is college.

Unemployed Chic

October 13, 2016


Hey there, beautiful people. Graduating college means a lot of things. It means that you can forget about homework and term papers (unless you’re writing a blog, then the essays will never end), you’re moving out of your parents’ house (or you’re staying and saving money, I envy you), and it means that suddenly you’ve gained a newfound independence that you’ve always thought you wanted. Here’s one thing I wasn’t looking forward to after graduating: financial independence. I know, I know, that’s supposed to be something that all young adults want, and I plan on working up to being excited about it, I swear, but at the moment the only thing I feel with this independence is how light my wallet feels. My new “adult spending” plan includes fun things like groceries, electricity, a Metro Pass, and not much else. This year in order to keep myself waist-deep in White Girl Wine, I’ve decided to embrace the “Unemployment Chic” look. Here’s five ways to keep yourself looking adorable and have enough money left over to treat yourself to that pumpkin spice latte:

We All Eat Fast Food Sometimes

Within in the first couple weeks of my big move to New York, I have learned a few things. Cheap Chinese food isn’t a bargain; it’s a death sentence. Your neighbors don’t like you walking across your apartment in tap shoes. When in Times Square, elbows can be used as weapons. Never make eye contact on the subway. All of these lessons are important and guarantee survival in the city, but the most important lesson thus far is the one that everyone tries to keep secret: no one knows what they are doing.
