Camera Stolen!

Good Morning!


My camera was stolen, which is why I haven't updated. I'll be getting a new one this weekend!


So, in the meantime, I leave you with some inspiration:


Happy weekend!

Who. What. Where.

Hi All!


Based on your comments, I've decided to start a new weekly post called "Who. What. Where." This post will review and discuss NYC restaurants, bars, clubs, events, etc. that I've recently been too! NYC is non-stop and there is always something going on in this city.


Today, I'd like to introduce you to Bistro 61:


Bistro 61 is located at 1113 1st Avenue - 61st Street. 




It's a fairly small restaurant with an amazing atmosphere: tinted lights, interesting artwork, exposed brick walls and wooden furniture. I absolutely fell in love with the place before I even sat down to dinner!

The restaurant also has some funny perks, for example, the menus are shaped like old records, which I thought was fun:


The dinner menu has a huge selection ranging from mussels to pasta to burgers and soups. I opted for the Bistro61 burger, which was AMAZING!! 


I definitely recommend these European-inspired bistro to anyone visiting New York City!

Check out their website!

What do you think of the Who. What. Where. ?

KIU and have a great weekend!

Easy and comfortable outfit!

ADDO Art Gala













Last Tuesday (5/31), in the East Ballroom of Price Center, ADDO-- a multi-functional/purposed venue that accommodates all mediums of art-- threw a social called, “ADDO Art Gala.”
Open to submissions from UCSD students (both grad and undergrad), faculty, and staff, the event featured a cross-pollination of artistic disciples- including paintings, sculptures, installations, a clothing swap, films, and performances.
The music (including artists 'Pense', 'The Monster Inside Me', and 'Yeti DJ') combined with the exquisite artwork set a killer ambiance- and the limitless buffet with sparkling cider and hors d'oeuvres added a nice touch. Samara Rice threw an amazing clothing swap for all the shopping addicts out there (you know who you are) that featured some great items for sprucing up any summer wardrobe.
In case you didn't get a chance to make it down, here are a few of our artistic selections-- the model with the antlers looks eerily like Kelly Framel from 'The Glamourai,' no?
