modern love →
as a writer, i can only hope to write for the new york times one day. many great writers have walked those halls. one of the reasons i became a writer was because of rick bragg, one of my college professors who also wrote for the times early in his career.
each week, i try to read the modern love piece in the paper. the stories are filled with so much life, love, heartbreak and joy. this is what...
double movie friday
i absolutely love going to the movies! i normally go about 3-4 times a month (i know, i know..a bit over the top, but whatever). growing up, my mom would take my little sister and i to the movies almost every weekend. those are some of my favorite memories! tonight my friend abby and i went to the kips bay theatre and watched wanderlust downstairs, then raced upstairs to catch this means war. we...

eye on the prize
my dad still lives in alabama, so i don’t get a chance to talk to him as much as i would like. everytime i send him an email about a job opportunity or interview, he always reminds me to keep my eye on the prize. little did i know that these four words would be help me through the tough times. i think about him, my mom and all of the people that love me. i think about why i moved here and...

don’t forget to treat yo self! if you do not watch parks and recreation, you really should. it is hands down the best show on television right now.
running away, without leaving home
twyla tharp once said ‘art is the only way to run away without leaving home’. when i create art, whether is is a mixed media art piece or a written piece, it is a moment of sheer ecstasy and escape for me. i turn on a record and all of a sudden i am having an almost out of body experience. i become encapsulated in the moment. everything else around me becomes blurry. it is just me...
Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston
One of my favorite things about New York is knowing that anything can happen. Last Friday, my best friend Anna and I went to the IFC Theatre in the Village, and saw an amazing documentary called ‘Ultrasudede: In Search of Halston’. Filmaker Whitney Smith takes the viewer on a journey into the life and legacy of the 1970s fashion designer Halston. No subject goes untouched.

I finally decided to do it...
As a lover of all things vintage and timeless, I had been against starting a blog. Everyone and their Mom (except for mine of course) has a blog. They talk about the things that are important to them. My eventual goal is to work for a huge publication like GQ, LOVE, BULLETT or W, and that is what is important to me. I studied Journalism and Art History in college. I have always known that I would...
