MIA

I apologize for missing in action for the past few days...I have been in action. My actions are as follows - painting, fashion shoot planning, working, crushing a guy's dreams, fashion week partying, and more working. A fun filled week for sure.

I know I know, I shouldn't be absent for so long that it takes me forever to recap, so I will just recap the really great stuff. As usual, I am hanging out with a boy that is really nice and I'm hating him for it. So when I tell him that my birthday is this Sunday and I'm celebrating with Sunday Funday brunch and football he reminds me that he indeed likes both brunch and football suggesting that he would like my blessing to come. I sweetly smile and say "Ohh good. Maybe we can go out another day for my birthday." He looked defeated. I couldn't help it. I'm not ready to have him meet my friends yet - that would mean it's semi official that he might be a person I like. Plus, I feel like my friends are my family and boys shouldn't meet the family for a long time.

Last night I went to a fashion week event sponsored by Men's INC at Macy's along with Thrillist, Avion Tequila and Stella Artois and Vitamin Water combined with cute models. Whew. Thankfully, when you mix vitamin water with tequila (or tequila with a splash of Vitamin Water) you are not only dehydrating yourself but you are rehydrating at the same time! Brilliant! The night ended up with fist pumping to really great music. At least I thought it sounded good. Happy end to NY fashion week! We sure did end it classy...or not.

Fall-ing

Yesterday everyone in my office was wearing cute new Fall clothes. Since I haven't exactly had the cash flow to buy a new wardrobe, I have been kidding myself instead. I have been repeating in my head that I don't really like the Fall (lie), and that I'm not ready to stop wearing my Summer clothes yet (lie, minus the shoes), and that I'm not excited about all of the great new items in the H&M windows that I pass by almost everyday (definitely a lie)! I must have been crazy to think that this could have ever worked. Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons - because of back to school shopping of course! Since I haven't had to technically go back to school in the past few years it should really be called "I'm bored at the office so to make it new again I need fall clothes shopping."

Today it hit me that I couldn't ignore the shopping bug anymore. Forget bed bugs, I have been infected with the shopping bug for as long as I could walk. The crisp weather and seeing every ones amazing new clothes sent me over the edge. Thankfully my birthday is just around the corner and my parents have so generously contributed to my back to school fund. Tomorrow is Fashions Night Out that includes tons of discounts around the city and lots of free giveaways...Let the shopping begin!

Welcome To September

Today is September 1st. September is my favorite month of the entire year for a few of the below reasons:

- The weather is perfect for any type of outfit you can dream up. A mixture of Summer favorites and new Fall styles are perfect for right now.

- New York is gearing up for Fashion Week yet again.

- Today is my Dad's Birthday. Love him.

- My arms are looking pretty fabulous. You would think I was working out, but no! It is due to the very heavy September issue magazines that I have been trying to lift out of my mailbox and into my apartment. (PS - I saw The September Issue last night with Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington. Interesting documentary but nothing that knocked my socks off.)

- My 25th Birthday is coming up soon. Another year of celebration awaits!

- September has the best date weather. Summer is over and you don't get overly sweaty walking to the restaurant. You can still sit outside and it gives you a reason to cuddle if you get a chill.

I can't wait for this amazing month!
