The Roster

Back to real life and a real 35 hour a week schedule. God help me.

Here's what's getting me through:

1) The Pretty Snow in New York:

Not the gross, grey slushy kind.

East 60th st. by Central Park

University Place by Washington Square Park

2) Getting Creative:

Sam and I watched movies and made cookies the other night... But we didn't have a cookie sheet.

 3) Nice Friends:

Nidhi brought me goodies from India!

 4) An Even Nicer Boyfriend:

I know. Be jealous. Also text me and remind me to water them.

5) At least we can all rest easy knowing we're not haunted by the satanic toaster like this here poor lady.

Perspective y'all.

SAG's

Here we go again! I don't want to say that the SAG awards had a generally better dressed crowd than the Golden Globes, but I was at least more interested? See the following:

THE "BE STILL MY HEART"'s

Kelly Osbourne

This dress has all my favorite things: black, hardware, translucency, and a nipped waist. Also, she is great and is dating a guy from Nashville who knows people that I know and therefore, I feel like I know her. 

Idina Menzel

Okay this is 50% because she looks amazing and 50% because she is my idol. Like if I didn't kiss her feet this would be in my so/so category.

Ariel Winter

 1. I appreciate that she dresses like an interesting teenager instead of a hooker. 2. Apparently, she has legally emancipated herself from her parents because they are like, crazy. Girl has balls.

Julianna Margulies

 Like I don't love the little bow thing, but the colorblocking is incredible and I want her shoes.

Nicole Kidman

THANK YOU. She is finally starting to dress like a movie star again. About time. 

Helen Hunt

SHE DOES NOT AGE.

THE "MEH"'s

Jennifer Lawrence

I am underwhelmed. Apparently, she had pneumonia so props for showing up. But still: underwhelmed.

Giulianna Rancic

I just cant with her lately. This is SO much better than the Globes, but her hair matches her shoulder ruffle, she seemed drunk the entire broadcast (she thinks dubstep is a dance), and her arms just terrify me in their fragility (seriously, look at her arms in proportion to her hands..... RIGHT?)

Jessica Chastain

So close. But the necklace is too small and the Jessica Rabbit reference is too big. Also, it is too small.

Busy Phillips

I personally love when celebrities flaunt their baby bumps. However, this flaunts the other baby bumps and not in a great way. But I like the idea?

Sally Field

She looks pretty, but when you're there for playing Mary Todd Lincoln, you have every right to wear something incredibly ridiculously stunning. Like, my heart wanted a hoop skirt. 

THE "OH GOD NO"'s

Morena Baccarin

I wore the cocktail length version of this when I did Cabaret in high school. I'm not kidding. 

Kaley Cuoco

I feel like she was going to a costume party as Zooey Deschanel and then a bunch of bees stung her face and she was delirious and went to an awards show instead. 

Lea Michele

Lea here has created a pattern of going to events as one of two things: she is either a piece of past chewed bubblegum or the human incarnation of a vajazzle.

Anne Hathaway

She looks like a gothic plucked chicken. Also, I had that haircut for two years, and I know from experience that there are better options. 

Sofia Vergara

My roommate made the astute observation that Sofia always looks like she is going to the prom: and she is right. I am bored Sofia. I am bored. 

Sigourney Weaver

...................................................... yeah I've got nothin.

THE SHOWSTOPPER

Aubrey Anderson-Emmons

YOU'RE WELCOME.

If you want a full and way more funny run down of pretty much every look, vist the ladies at  Go Fug Yourself.com.

So what'd you guys think? Who was your favorite?

Funny Hunny

All my friends were busy, sick, or still out of town Friday night, so I just took myself out. I stomped through the new snow to see Chicago on Broadway (again). Velma Kelley is one of my absolute dream roles and it was wonderful to be able to see a production that inspires me and gets me ready to go back to work on Monday.

Sometimes a date night with yourself is just what you need!

A snowy 3rd Avenue!

Got the last rush ticket they had! Orchestra seat and for $37!

I have school again tomorrow and I haven't accepted it yet.

Celsius to Fahrenheit

My friends are slowly trickling back into NYC! I missed them very much. Being alone in New York in the dead of winter isn't very fun.

Nidhi got back from India a few nights ago so she, Sam, and I have been enjoying some fun nights out.

my ladies!

I'm slowly starting to figure out how to optimally layer under my big puffy coat that still doesn't keep out all of the chill. When in doubt, go all black.

 Stay Warm!

The Roster

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! I'm sorry I'm not in Tennessee to bake you a big, beautiful cake. 

Believe it or not I had like four more food things I could put on the list today. I guess it was just that kind of week.

1) St. Mazie:

This has become one of my favorite places in Williamsburg. From the outside it looks like nothing and then inside it's like something out of 1920's Paris, which my obnoxious hipster self obviously loves.

2) Belmont Naming Things:

So, my grandfather was the president of the board at Belmont for a really long time and they named a dorm after him/our family. It's called Horrell Hall and it's an all girl freshman dorm... Feel free to infer.

3) S'mac:

Custom mac n' cheese that comes in a big skillet. I rest my case.

mine had gouda, bacon, bread crumbs and idk what else.

 4) Cafe Orlin:

Arguably the best brunch I've had since moving here. Total hole in the wall on St. Marks and it was incredible. And much more affordable than most places. What a winner.

pumpkin pancakes

5) Coats that look like sleeping bags:

It's ten degrees right now, but the wind chill makes it feel like -2. So yesterdays 19 degrees was nothing. It's gotten cold in Tennessee, but you get to drive your car and you're barely in the actual cold for that long. Needless to say, I was not ready for this kind of cold. I've pretty much abandoned any attempt at being stylish in exchange for layers upon layers of insulation.

6) And here's some important things we all learned last year, according to the internet. I tend to agree with them all.

Stay warm y'all!

hugs.

Evannyc- An iPhone Diary

Evan got here on Friday and just let a few hours ago. I'm definitely sad about it, but looking through snapshots on my phone from the weekend is cheering me up a little bit.

We explored a lot of neighborhoods, did some shopping, ate a lot of great food, and saw Fuerza Bruta. It was basically a blast.

Pondering the menu

Drenched after Fuerza. Walked home completely soaked in the 30 degree air.

 Miss him already.

The Roster

Y'all. I have been writing so much for this class, it's insanity.
Also, I'm starting to be tempted to say "you guys' instead of y'all. I don't know how I feel about it. Actually, I know exactly how I feel about it.

Anyways,

1) Layering trinkets and bits of bling:

{UO initial necklace, Target charm necklace, vintage locket}

 Been taking a page out of Cupcakes and Cashmere's book. Love the look against graphic polka dots.

2) My sister's beautiful wedding in Southern Living Weddings:

 This was such a beautiful day. Can't believe it was almost a year ago! The issue is out until March. Go buy it now or we're not friends anymore. 

3) Exploring new areas:

{Mulberry St.}

I only have class three days a week, so I've been taking advantage of the extra time to explore new spots like the side streets (or not so side) in Soho.

4) My first kill:

If you follow me on Instagram (which you should), you know how proud I was of this. I felt so tomb raider it wasn't even funny. I'm offically a New Yorker.

5) Right when I leave, Nashville gets cool:

 Check out the NY Times rave review of my dearly beloved hometown.

Evan gets here on Friday!!! Expect a butt load of pictures.

Hugs.
