Teaus: My coworker showed me this amazing tea shop in Chelsea/ Midtown West and I’m OBSESSED. Their menu is full of unique flavors. I tried the mango tea and it was beyond delicious and refreshing. The space may be small but adorable with a cork board filled with polaroids.
Highly recommend checking them out!
Blockheads: I know I’m like way late to the party on this one, but I went to the Mexican restaurant Blockheads with my two close friends last week and was super impressed with their extensive menu options and homemade VEGAN SOUR CREAM. I haven’t had sour cream in over 2+ years and I was so excited to dip my dairy-free chicken quesadillas in this deliciousness.
Oh and their margarita special ain’t too shabby 😉
Low boots: It’s official cold (and I mean really cold) in New York. I’ve been loving my new Sperry low boots with skinny jeans and of course yoga pants.
Gone Girl: I DEVOURED this book. I can’t think of the last time I was that into a book. I’m pretty sure everyone ever has already ready the book (or seen the movie now) however if you haven’t you gotta read Gone Girl!
A black tie wedding: Last weekend I got all dolled up for my cousin’s black tie wedding (yes, another cousin wedding!) and decided to do it up big and get my makeup done by Glam Squad and an up-do at DryBar.
I felt pretty glamorous in my gown and my date even wore a tux 🙂
I cannot recommend Glam Squad enough– they come to your house with EVERYTHING to do your make up, doesn’t get much easier than that. My makeup artist Jessica was fantastic and understood exactly the look I was going for. I wanted a really classy look that didn’t feel too over the top and loved the subtle smokey eye she gave me and low-key lip color. I will absolutely book with Glam Squad again in the future the next time I’m feeling extra fancy.
I’ve been dying to hit up Dry Bar so was pretty psyched I finally had a reason to pamper myself. While I ended up loving the finished product, their speciality is definitely blowouts. The experience is great though– there’s TV screens throughout the salon playing movies so I got to watch a good chunk of Bridesmaids and Easy A, doesn’t get much better than that!.
Probably a weird comment to make but the hairspray they use smells amazing. I have an anti-frizz serum from the Dry Bar line and can’t get enough of the scent they use in their products.
The wedding was absolutely amazing– my mom’s side of the family is very big and very loud to say the least so it’s always a good time celebrating with them. Congratulations to my cousin Jeremy and new cousin Ashley!
