Lucky Magazine + The ManRepeller @Armani 5th Avenue NYC: Style Revival Event

A hundred times have I thought New York is a catastrophe, and fifty times: It is a

beautiful catastrophe. -Le Corbusier

Ash ❤ The Man Repeller ❤ Lesbananas

Last night, my homegirls and I attended the Style Revival party of the season with Lucky Magazine & The Man Repeller at Armani 5th ave. I met so many movers and shakers of the fashion industry in NYC (I Love you Eva Chen!) and felt totally inspired. It was dope. 

TBT- Rally against Domestic Violence @ 55 Gansevoort Meatpacking/NYC

STOP. DOMESTIC. VIOLENCE.

Thanks to Sam and her friends last weekend, we kick off the beginning of Spring with an evening of drinking and dancing for a great cause at 55 Gansevoort NYC! It was truly beautiful and so wonderful to see so many of our friends that came out to support the cause and everyone's hard work. #Loyalty 

Sam is the beautiful lady in the red sexy bandage dress (or b&w pic of the hottie dancing) below and she and her friends helped raise over $3,000 via Host Committee to help benefit the Employment Search Skills Program at the NYC Liberty House, a professional development initiative for women who have been victims of domestic violence. Who doesn't love an evening of good times with fabulous company, for a worthy cause?

March Breakfast Barkbox Review 2014 - Aussie Naturals, Wagatha's, Hare of the Dog, Barkworthies

Happy Humpdee Homies! So sorry I've been gone for almost a week but, I was sick as a dog at home with the flu. I missed you homies and I hope you missed me too, even if it was just a little. Luckily, my little baby Leo was there to snuggle up right next to me and he nursed me back to health with puppy kisses.

I am all better now and ready to bring you Prince Leo's Royal March Barkbox!

❤

Today we will be featuring:

Aussie Naturals, Wagatha's, Hare of the Dog, Barkworthies

Total Price estimate of items came out to: $36.08 this month

Best Japanese Restaurant in Brooklyn: Omakase Tasting Menu @ Zenkichi Williamsburg

If you are searching for authenticity, a little piece of Tokyo is available right in the trendy city of Williamsburg Brooklyn. The food and atmosphere at Zenkichi is so fresh and artfully prepared, I am sure the presentation will impress your date for the night. Like they do in Japan, each table is enclosed in it's own isolated room with little curtains so that the diners can enjoy a bit of privacy. Allan and I enjoyed the most romantic dinner, until we got into a fight and ruined the vibe haha. The Zen Japanese aesthetic didn't tame our moods but, we made up and the food was fantastic so it was all good homies. I suggest you take your lover here after a fight rather than fighting during the meal. Also, this aint your average sushi joint so don't expect your local Haru when you walk in.

March 2014 Birchbox Review- Wanna breakup but FOMO Keeps me Hanging On

Underwhelmed by Birchbox lately? After 1.5 years of being a Birchbox subscriber, I want to break up with BB but the fear of missing out keeps me hanging on. I just need one more month so that I can alleviate myself from one more month of FOMO, but really, I'm ready to say adieu. 

Dinner Party - Korean Fried Rice + Modified Disaronno Strawberry Shortcake Recipe

ARTiculture: The PHS Philadelphia Flower Show 2014 - Part Deux II

“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

Artists and gardeners go together like PB + Jelly, and this year the Philadelphia Flower Show is showcasing just how close the two can be.

"For the 2014 Flower Show, PHS partnered with more than a dozen of the world’s greatest museums including the Getty, the Guggenheim, the Smithsonian, PMA, PAFA and the Barnes Foundation, for an incredible experience at the Convention Center. In this Center City venue, the Show encompasses 33 indoor acres, with exhibit space taking up 10 acres of the main exhibit hall. The Show now entertains more than 265,000 people each year." -PHS

The PHS Philadelphia Flower Show 2014

Over the weekend, Allan and I joined his parents to go see the world's longest-running and largest indoor Flower Show in Philadelphia and had such a great time. The sun was shining and the weather finally started to feel like spring, so it was the perfect weekend to go see some flower art!The floral exhibits made us all that much excited for the warm season to come. We took hundreds of pictures at the show so I am breaking this post up into two parts. Look out for Part II later this week!

2014: "ARTiculture"
Experience the combination of art and horticulture as the 185th PHS Philadelphia Flower Show celebrates everyone from Michelangelo to Monet, Picasso to Pollock, and da Vinci to Dali.

This picture was taken at the Dreamcatcher/Matrix: "Walk underneath the cosmic dreamcatcher and search for the hidden message in this out-of-this-world design. Explore a futuristic reality that captures glimpses of the cosmos caught and woven on a rebar web creating the perfect atmosphere for floral sculpture. Based on an exhibit at the Grounds for Sculpture, this display uses mixture of textures, shapes, and colors, to look at things in a new way."

Queen of the Night - New York's Hottest Nightlife Event!

All hail the queen! 

The Daily Beast calls it a "Sinfully lavish dinner theater madness", Queen of the night was by far the most exciting event I have been to all year.

Casey (blonde bombshell above) sent an email a while back about a Gilt City promotion to this thing called Queen of the Night and I thought it looked super cool but, was hesitant at first because my credit card has been through some tough workouts lately with all of the shopping I have been doing. After a few weeks went by, I still couldn't stop thinking about the event and decided to get it as an additional Valentine's Day gift for my boo thang. I'm happy I did because we had the best triple date experience ever! By then the Gilt City tickets were gone of course, so we booked our tickets directly through their website: Queen of the Night. I suggest you get your tickets ASAP because tickets are HOT HOT HOT! Tickets this week are all Sold out so pick a later date and lock it in homies. Gala tickets now start at $155 per person.
