Take Me Out to the Ball Game

I don’t mean basketball or baseball or volleyball. I mean tennis. Through a few friends, namely my “Miranda” friend, I got a premiere box seat at the US Open. My friend (“Miranda”) is going to go with me and our seats are together so it’ll be super fun. Her family is also going. I usually go every year but this year will be special because I’m going with my boyfriend. Yes, I did say boyfriend. Who is he who may ask? Drumroll please! Mr. Right who turned out to be Mr. Wrong is now officially Mr. Right. He called me in the middle of the night last night to ask if he could come over. I agreed, half because I just wanted to put the phone down and get some z’s. But then he showed up with flowers and told me he couldn’t stop thinking about me! He said that everything happens for a reason and us breaking up showed him that we were really meant for each other. Isn’t that just the sweetest thing ever?

Anyway after a few hours of talking I finally went to bed and then when I found out I actually had the tickets I immediately invited him because I want to see if “Miranda” and him will get along. Fingers crossed. 

I am so excited for the US Open though! So many celebrities have been photographed there this week! Hopefully I will get to sit next to Johnny Depp on one side and Brad Pitt on the other side. Now wouldn’t that be splendid? The celebrities that actually have been seen there include Anna Wintour, the goddess herself, Christie Brinkley, and those gorgeous pageant girls, Miss Teen USA and Miss Universe.

It’s gonna be lots of fun and I’ll tell you about it afterwards. By the way, thanks for all the emails. I really enjoy reading all of your feedback and fashion questions. Keep them coming!!

The Riddle of the Sphinx

“It’s like the riddle of the Sphinx… why are there so many great unmarried women, and no great unmarried men?” – Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City.

So, I haven’t really written about my relationship with Mr. Right recently and that’s because everythings been going pretty well, at least I thought so. Anyway, a few days ago he told me about his ex who he broke up with because she was going to move to Europe, but, she’s back and you guessed it, he wants to ‘give her another try and take some time off of us.’ My Mr. Right now seems like a total Mr. Wrong. 

So, I’m back to single life, which honestly I don’t mind except I really do miss Mr., well, Wrong. The one thing I don’t like about being single though is that I am always looking for another guy instead of just having fun. I haven’t really gotten over him yet but my friends took me out to see the dating pool, but the girl to boy ratio was like 4 to 1 and it was just not successful. So my question I have to ask to you guys is: where’s the best place to meet guys? Do you have the most luck at the gym or the pool hall or the clubs?

Three’s A Crowd

She’s been called a third wheel, a tag along, a cock blocker, an outcast. Whatever you call her, you totally know who I’m talking about. Last weekend I went to Mr. Right’s house to drink some champagne and eat some chocolates. It was so romantic until my drunk friend called me telling me she just needed to meet him. I mean what was I supposed to say? No? I guess she wouldn’t have remembered either way. I told her to bring more people but of course everyone was already sick of that drunk mess of a girl. Okay, normally I love her company but after a few drinks, not so much. 

Anyway, she arrived and it was such a nightmare. I could feel Mr. Right was not happy about the interruption but being the gentleman he is didn’t say anything. The whole time I was trying to continue my romantic night with Mr. Right while keeping my friend entertained. 

I have three best friends: one of them being the drunk one – she’s a bit of a Samantha (for the non-sex and the city fans, that’s a reference to one of the main characters). he helps us get into all the parties since she works for advertising and always can reach the owners of the hot spots in New York. She’s not as confident as Samantha but is definitely is, well, let’s just say assertive. She is a wonderful friend though, don’t get me wrong. My other friend is completely the Miranda (another Sex and the City reference) out of us. She loves mystery novels and is totally independent. She’s a interior design, which I am always so interested in. Maybe I will have her do a post on her latest assignment which is a Park Avenue four bedroom apartment. Totally to die for. And then there’s my best friend out them all, she’s totally Charlotte (and yet another). She is basically the definition of preppy living in a house uptown and her family’s house in the hamptons. She works as a assistant to Linda Wells, the Allure Magazine editor. She’s plans everything.

The reason I wrote all of this is because I remember when it wasn’t the four of us and the drunk mess I was talking about earlier, the Samantha if you will, wasn’t in our little group. The interior designer, the “Miranda” was completely the third wheel. Is three always an odd number?

Update: Pick-A-Little, Talk-A-Little

David Jon Acosta from Gold Saturn just sent me a sneak peak of two new designs. Hope you love them as much as I do:

Frenemies

I’ve talked before about my high school sweetheart “Johnny” but haven’t gone that much in detail with the other aspects of high school whether it be fellow students, teachers, or just what I learned during those short four years. The blog, Where Have All The Prom Queens Gone?, really inspired me to write a post on my high school experience.

My high school was like the new show Gossip Girls except we were actually living it. In freshman year, I was nice to everyone in the grade and everyone was nice to me, until one girl, the most popular at the time, told me, “Pick who you want to become. You can be either one of the nerds or one of us.” I don’t think I will ever forget that she said that. I told my best friends, who were in her crowd more than I was, and they totally turned on her. No one was her friend anymore and all of the sudden everyone started to try really hard to be friends with me. Anyways, I guess I kind of took her spot in a way. A year or so ago, my best friend from high school, who is still one of the best friends now (“Charlotte”), told me that that bitch is now dating a rich fifty year old, married man. One word, karma.

My friends and I knew how to party. One of my friends had parents that were always gone so we would go to her place and throw parties. After one of her parties, I remember I met my high school sweetheart. I think that most girls who are in a position like I was in, dating a older boy and partying every weekend, whether in the Hamptons or New York, could easily ruin their life but college was really important to me and my parents would always demand to know my whereabouts. I think most people at my high school are surprised to see me how I am today: having seen me date  ”Brad”, who was my little piece of Hollywood drama, seeing me in magazines and movies, and still being just as outgoing and friendly as I was in high school. But then again i am always so surprised at our reunions to see the druggie now with one child at the top preschool in the city and the sweet cheerleader now, totally butch. It’s just funny what time does to us all.

Running With Scissors

The best trend that is rolling from summer to fall is definitely cutouts. In particular cutout booties. 

My favorites are from Saks and Shop bop but both are rather expensive stores so the last one is from Forever 21, which is very inexpensive.

 

From Paul and Joe – I love the swede fabric and the buttons!

These Versace Cutouts are so trendy and still timeless. I absolutely love them!

These ones are Claudia Ciuti and they kind of resemble the Versace ones above. I like this color better though because it is more unexpected.

These Forever 21 shoes are a knockoff of a pair designed by Chloé. It’s totally fashion-forward although a bit on the dishonest and shifty side.

And not only are shoes the only things that are being but here and there. Clothing has also come to love the scissor trend, like this Ella Moss red blouse and this new designer, featured on Saks, Brian Reyes’ dress.

Pick-a-little, Talk-a-little

Hello everyone! I have missed you all terribly. I must say I really need to start getting into the groove of posting again. Anyways, I wanted to share with you all two wonderful sites that I have found out about through a little picking and a little talking. Firstly, I have not really expressed with you my love for art. On rainy, unhappy days the best remedy is the Met or really any museum for that matter. This brings me to my first website I want to share. 

Mark Schwartz has created a collection of paintings all revolving around one of my favorite subjects: shoes. On his website, he shows his High Heeled Art where they are all available to purchase along with t-shirts. My personal favorite of all of his work is this painting here:

I am just crazy about this next website. Gold Saturn tees look like the belong at Urban Outfitters. They are so adorable and fun! These are my favorites although I must admit it was really hard to pick!
