Stuff I Wore In Brooklyn

February 13, 2012 Uncategorized 7 comments

 

Firstly let me preface this by saying that I am freezing and unemployed here in New York. I’m eating well and I’m sufficiently entertained, but I could still be grumpy so don’t cross me.

Don’t. Cross. Me.

This past week’s adventures were a roller coaster of firsts.

MONDAY:

My first time eating vegan cheese…in Park Slope (while wearing a dress from the new Brooklyn Industries spring collection, no less).

First Vegan Cheese Pizza

The vegan cheese felt like silly putty. The dress smelled like fashion.

Notice my awesome new watch in both photos? That would be one that I designed myself from Modify Watches. I’m just that awesome.

 

TUESDAY:

My first time being laid off (anybody in NYC need a Social Media Maven or Digital Strategist?).

My first time cooking with a chef from the US Virgin Islands. Oh, and my first time WINNING A TRIP TO US VIRGIN ISLANDS, WOOOOOOO!

I even had Chef Theo autograph some of his Scotch Bonnet pepper sauce for me. I like it. A lot.

You guys should totes go to that, it sounds fun for all ages.

FRIDAY:

My first 2012 fashion week event (Brooklyn Industries spring collection debut…involved free donuts and a cocktail with a uber creative name, which escapes me).

I like the collegiate man sweaters. Do that.

SUNDAY:

And my first time wearing sweat pants…since I was about 10 years old. I paired it with one of my new favorite t-shirts from StripedShirt.com

I just like stripes in general, but 
StripedShirt.com is a good way to find your “team colors” without resorting to unflattering man jerseys. See? Subtle yet awesome
