wear: Lily Collins’ Style
I am willing to bet that more people paid attention to actress Lily Collins’ style this past month than they did money to see her latest film, “The Mortal Instruments”. Previously, she was only known for her amazing eyebrows and for being singer Phil Collin’s daughter. Now, Lily Collins has become more prominent this … Continue reading
live: A Peony for Your Thoughts
I’m a sucker for a good floral arrangement. I will admit I don’t know much about flowers, I can say that I have become a recent fan of the peony. What I love about that particular flower is that it’s a hefty flower in size with multiple layers of petals, it comes in soft romantic … Continue reading

wear: 2013 MTV Music Video Award Fashion
Another Sunday, another awards show I didn’t watch. This week’s was the much advertised 2013 MTV Video Music Awards in Brooklyn. The only performance I saw were the Justin Timberlake medley (AMAZING) and the much talked about Miley Cyrus performance. But I did make time for the red carpet and I was genuinely surprised by … Continue reading

drink: Affogato
I’m not a fan of iced coffee for some reason. I like to add an unhealthy amount of sugar to my daily cup of joe and I find that sugar dissolve well in iced coffee. I won’t even get its watered down taste. Yet, for some reason, I have become a recent fan of affogato. … Continue reading
watch: Raising Hope
The founder of Netflix should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for introducing me to another show that I am obsessed with. I stumbled across the FOX comedy, “Raising Hope” on a rainy Saturday morning and I instantly fell in love, “Raising Hope” is about a young man named Jimmy who is left to take … Continue reading
eat: Bibimbap
It was only by chance that I came across this insanely delicious Korean dish.

My only real exposure to the dish was hearing actress Elizabeth Banks joke … Continue reading

explore: Pamukkale, Turkey
It’s makes perfect sense that Pamukkale means cotton castle in Turkish. In the daylight, these hot spring pools, which are located in southwestern Turkey, look like they are floating on clouds. It should come as no surprise that these picturesque pools have become a tourist attraction, drawing thousands and thousand of people to come ‘bath’ … Continue reading
appreciate: Aili Schmeltz
As much as love paintings, sketches, and drawings, one medium of art that I am completely in awe of is sculpture. The ability for an artist to create something that is not only a work of art, but can be interactive with the space and the audience is mindblowing to me. That is why I … Continue reading
