Snaps App - Add it. Snap it. Share it.


Many of you have been asking me what app I have been using to create my silly pics, and so I want to introduce you to...wait for it...


Snaps App! 
"Snaps!™ allows you to add virtual content to your photos. Start by adding a few "snaps," or virtual images, to new or existing pics, and show it off to your friends. It's simple, fun and you'll get the hang of it in a snap!" 

You can get it at the iPhone app store or Google Play for free! Well it's free for now :) This app is totally BRAND SPANKIN' NEW! It was only recently copyrighted and added to the app stores this month. So far there aren't that many users but, I think this app has full potential to become super popular among tech crazed consumers of Generation Y.  There are a few kinks that the developers still need to work out but even so, the app is totally worth playing with and working it into your daily selfies!

チョコレート! Don't fall in Love - Fall in Chocolate

There are infinite reasons to love chocolate. Sometimes I just need a bite of it to get through the intense hustle and bustle of New York City but really, "desserts" is really just stressed spelled backwards. Chocolate doesn't ask you silly questions, it just understands you. I've never met a chocolate I didn't like. Chocolate is cheaper than therapy and you don't need an appointment. I Love Chocolate. I Love Royce.

Tu Viens Chez Moi? - It's Lobster Night

Last night, Allan and I made live lobsters for dinner and I was finally able to put my mind to rest about whether or not the lobsters scream when they are cooking in boiling water. 
The Verdict = Lobsters do NOT scream
Happy Hump Day my nanner friends!

Bib + Tuck, Inc. - Cool Shit But Shipping is a Bitch

Today I want to share with you my positive and negative thoughts on an online fashion community/e-commerce website called "Bib + Tuck". Last winter, my friend Ashley told me about this trendy pair of girlfriends (Sari A. and Sari B.), who started this invite only clothing bartering website.

Ashley is always up to date on cool new start-ups by young and creative entrepreneurs, so I decided to use the invitation Ashley sent me to sign up and see what it was all about. The website is a marketplace for women to sell and buy their used clothing and accessories using the terms "Bib" (sell) and "Tuck" (buy). The Sari girls have definitely found a way to create a trendy new platform/extension for the online shopping community users but, I am not too sure that their way is any better or more sophisticated than the time tested and popular online consignment sites like the Vestiaire Collective or Shop-Hers.

Night at the MTV 2013 Video Music Awards - NYC @ the Barclay's Center

Last night was one of the greatest nights of my life, and I will be sure to treasure these moments forever. Thank's to 1iota, I attended the 2013 MTV Video Music Award Ceremony held at the Barclay's center, in Brooklyn. I had priority, Pit Fans tickets, which means I had to stand all night but, had the best views in the house. I got to stand right by the stage, in the middle of the runway/elongated part of the stage so I was happy I got to see some of the celebrities up close and personal. I have to admit it was a long wait, and it takes a lot of patience to withstand all the crazy people who will push you until you give up your amazing place in the crowd. I stood my ground and tried my best not to lose my place. All Photos seen below belong to me, and are not borrowed from any other sources. It was a night to be remembered :)

Food Pilgrimage- Lunch @ The NoMad Hotel NYC

Last year, the most eagerly anticipated hotel opened up in the Flatiron district in Chelsea called The NoMad Hotel. The name alludes to the popularity of the "food pilgrimage" around the triangular shaped area right above Madison Square park. Right above the park, one can find rows of food trucks in the triangle square during the summer. Around the square are popular restaurants like Shake Shake in the Park, Eataly, and Eleven Madison Park. Steph (weffieweffers) and I decided to ball out a little, and have a naughty long lunch to make the week feel brighter.

California Dreamin: Part II- Napa and Sonoma

On Saturday Morning, Allan and I woke up bright and early to drive out to warm and sunny Napa/Sonoma. The Bay area was actually pretty chill and brisk, so I was pleasantly surprised when the weather got so much toastier closer to the wineries.
I love this picture and wanted to start the post with it :) Wedding setup at Brix restaurant - Napa, CA

California Dreamin: part I - San Francisco



In July, I went to San Francisco on a business trip for a conference and stayed through the weekend to enjoy the city. Allan came all the way from NYC to keep me company through the weekend. It was my very first business trip, so I was happy to have someone to roam around Northern Cali with.

Puppy Playtime with Leo

Every Monday, we take our precious baby angel to puppy class at Petco. This class ends up being the highlight of my week and makes me feel so happy/giggly afterwards. Like a human baby, socializing your puppy is really important for the pup's development and emotional happiness! I learned this the hard way with our old Yorkie.

Freakin' Weekend

This past Friday, my boyfriend Allan and I went on a journey to the Upper West Side for our Friend Jon's housewarming gathering with close friends.

Jon (handsome gent below), recently got into COLUMBIA LAW and moved away from his fabulous pad in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Jon is such a smarty pants, that he got into every single prestigious law school he applied to but, still chose to stay in NYC and be with his friends and family.

BREAKING NEWS -Alcatraz Prisoner on the Loose!

 Leo's Daddy brought him the cutest Hoody from San Francisco :)

BBQ in Williamsburg - Fette Sau

Last Saturday, my boyfriend and two of his friends took me to a BBQ joint in Williamsburg called Fette Sau. It was AMAZING! I ate so much, I practically had to roll myself out of there. Definitely not surprised that some people consider this place the best BBQ joint in NYC. From pork ribs to beef briskets, sucking your fingers every minute is a necessary gesture.


Pork Ribs, beef briskets, sausages, pickles, potato salad, and buns. Em em good!

Passion for Prada - Part Deux - Pretty in Prada

Here is the follow up post for Passion for Prada - Part I ~

In May, the Prada Store in SoHo (575 Broadway) decked out their hardwood stairs with beautiful sequinned dressed and feathered headbands just in time to promote the new Gatsby Movie. Costumes designed by Catherine Martin and  Miuccia Prada has so much beautiful detailing in each piece, I had to refrain from wanting to put my hands all over the garments~!

Passion for Prada - Part I

As many of you may already know, I have an addiction to Prada. In this post, I want to show you my new Prada Babies I have acquired since this past May. It's a small collection for now but, we are a growing family ;)

Splurged and bought myself a beautiful Saffiano Lux Double-Zip #Prada tote

This little baby is a classic. Dress it up, dress it down, for work, or for play, this bag is so easy to wear because it goes with just about anything! The only drawback is that this bag is a bit on the heavier side because of the high quality leather and gold hardware. I like this bag better than the bigger and softer version (single zip tote), which usually shows the outlines of the stuff you carry in your bag. My double zip lux version  is great because the material holds up well enough to keep it's form, even if you have a whole bunch of junk in your purse.

BadGal RiRi - Diamonds World Tour 2013 @ Barclays Center

This past May, our fabulous friend Steph pulled some strings and got us #INCREDIBLE seats to Rihanna's concert at the Barclays Center.
I had been waiting for this moment my entire life...to see BadGal RiRi!

Before I recap my summer in NYC so far, I would like you all to meet my precious baby angel, Leo!

Breaking hearts since Feb, 2013

Breaking hearts since Feb, 2013

His full name is Leonardo, and he is a long haired miniature Dachshund. Leo is a dog and his life is amazing! He spends 24 hours a day doing beautiful dog things. As time goes by, you will see lots of Lil' Leo running around this blog. He really truly is my bundle of joy, and every time I get a little sad, this monster cheers me up :)
