Party at the Met

It's so easy to get caught up in all the raging frat parties, football games, and dancing on top of tables at NYU.

Oh wait.

I think I meant to say, it's so easy to get caught up in all the gallery openings, private parties, and dancing in the lobby of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I guess that's sort of like a school dance?

 Another little amateur video I made.
An Oasis at the Met celebrated the opening of the Arts of Arab Lands collection. Despite the fact I have already visited the gallery (twice) for class, the girls and I decided to put on our fanciest semi-formal attire and splurged for a cab to 5th and 82nd. Stay classy. (Free) Events at such prestigious institutes are just one of the many perks of going to school on the island of Manhattan. 
Plus, the DJs were pretty cute.

Light as a Feather

When the Olsen's had it, I knew I wanted it. It all started with their detective VHS series. From Billboard Dad to New York Minute, these girls have always had it all. I want a piece!

So I made one! (With inspiration from Frou Frouu as well)

Once again, I used some broken jewelry. This time an old ring and a feather earring with no match (don't ask where the other one is, its a gruesome story). All you need is a glue gun to put it all together!

And the Oscar Goes To...

All of the delicate, floor sweeping, beaded gowns. Simply flawless. 

Maybe if my New Years Eve dress had been a little longer I could have sported it on the Oscar Red Carpet this year too. 

Oh, and Meryl. Got to love her.

Rainy Daze

Weather or not they have been spotted in any collections this #nyfw, the concrete catwalk has solidified the "snood" trend. At first I was a little skeptical, but the moment I got caught in the rain with my freshly straightened hair completely unprotected, I stretched my deep purple infinity scarf to cover both my dampening (and quickly curling) hair and shivering neck. Who needs an umbrella anymore? I was hooked. It's the perfect amount of coverage and warmth for that quick, yet deathly 15 minute walk to class.

Snoody

Despite the convenience, style, and warmth, I am advocating a name change.  Headscarf Knit Infinity Wrap? Anything but snood.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Popped balloons, dying roses, ripped cards. While the remnants from February 14th slowly fade away, I still look back on my first Valentine's experience in New York City fondly. A friend and I spent our night watching the Contemporary Rock Orchestra--a quirky, yet entertaining bunch--cover The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. Quite fitting huh? Here is a little amateur vid I made of the show!


You may be single, but you are not alone. Just join the club.
