Three years ago today, J and I said “I do” in front of 250 of our closest friends and family. We’ve certainly had our ups and downs along the way, but I wouldn’t trade what we have right now for anything in the world. The amount of love and respect I have for this man […]
I don’t follow fashion, so the only reason I was even aware that New York Fashion Week is currently underway is due to the Facebook feeds of my fashion-forward friends. That being said, I stumbled upon a series of posts from the NYTimes Magazine Blog called Model-Morphosis and I couldn’t help but be intrigued. Because […]

I always said that a six-figure salary doesn’t mean much in Manhattan — it seems like everywhere I turn I run into 26-year-olds making at least $150k a year, or people younger than me buying $1.2 million apartments. (And yes, these are real example of my friends and acquaintances!) According to the White House, the […]
There has been a lot of talk lately about redesigning the map of the world’s largest subway system in an effort to make it easier to read and increase ridership. Designer Eddie Jabbour took up the challenge in a heavy redesign called NYC Subway KickMap: The Kick Map is designed to get more people to […]

In 2001, he was invited by the Museum of Modern Art in New York to capture the re-development of their building. He set up four cameras in four […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
