The Roster

My to do list this week is literally a mile long. But yay for productivity!

Taking a break to appreciate:

1) Venezuelan food that's almost as good as my stepmom's:

Plantains and the BEST beef I have ever had

2) Contradictions:
Spotted at Chipotle

3) A treat that's almost as good as ice cream:

vanilla yogurt with blueberries and pomegranate seeds


 4) A bed with a fluffed feather bed and fresh sheets:


5) Further celebration of Beyjesus:


Best link I have ever found.

Two more days y'all!!!!

Mirror Blue

Went and checked out my friend Sophie's stepmom's show in Chelsea this past Saturday. Loved that my outfit ended up matching the building across the street.

{UO backless shell, Anthropologie sweater, J. Crew skirt, Frye boots, Hue sweater tights, vintage and Forever 21 necklaces, Forever 21 belt}


If you live in New York go check out Diana Cooper's show at Postmasters gallery on West 19th and 10th Ave. It was really inspiring and is only up for a little bit more!

To Each Their Own

I realize nobody will read this right now because they're watching the Superbowl... but OH WELL.

Today I went to MY equivalent of the Superbowl, the New York City Ballet.
My sweet mom got me tickets for Christmas and it was so worth the wait. They showed three ballets, but the one I particularly went for was the Year of the Rabbit. The entire thing was set to an original score by Sufijan Stevens, who is a god. I was absolutely blown away. Janie Taylor and Teresa Reichlen are both phenomenal. Sam and I both were literally breathless. What a great Sunday!


Here's the promo video for Year of the Rabbit. Even in it's excellence it doesn't do it justice.

Bradshaw Esque

So this is actually from last weekend. I've just now had enough time to edit the photos and make a post! They don't mess around with this second semester stuff.

Last Saturday I had the most typical Sex and the City morning ever, and I loved it. Nidhi and I went to my new favorite place, Cafe Orlin (Evan and I went the week before), and we poked around a thrift shop while we waited for our table.



I amuse myself. 



Fresh squeezed!

This was as delicious as it looks. 

So was this. 
Sam popped by towards the end of brunch!!

Loving lazy afternoons with my friends. Headed to the ballet with Sam tomorrow (thanks, Mom)! So excited.

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.

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.
