My inner "CHO"

My latest obsession is Greek yogurt. Its so high in protein! So filling! My brand of choice is Chobani. I know ramblings about high protein yogurt doesn't make me the most exciting blogger in the world but I cant help it. I'm obsessed. It's even better with some granola.... i like to live on the Edge.

And I'm back... again

SO it's fashion week... but who gives a shit. cool events. had fun last nite. but lets get down to what really matters.
I've never been a fan of blogs being used as online journals but I'll allow myself to be semi-guilty of it just this once...
My obsession today: GREATNESS... and it should be so everyday but.. lets be honest... most times I just like to have fun.
Point is that's where i'm at right now. Greatness, not through fame or fortune (though that would be... well.. great!... the fortune.. not the fame *gag*) but through genius and self-fulfillment (and to me realization of genius would be the most fulfilling thing EVER). To burst through the social filters that I've allowed to censor me... THAT'S FULFILLMENT. To be truly, TRUUUUULY just ME. Is fullfillment.
So! from now on I'm going to do exactly what I want when I want. That's my first step. And those who know me will say "well that's already what she does".. u guys are yet to see what it truly means to be me.. the thoughts that run through my head. get ready.

In an email written to me about 20 minutes ago, a friend conveyed to me her disappointment in our professional efforts thus far since graduating college and called for us to be more proactive in deciding our fate. Almost as if she was reading my mind!
My response to her:
"That's exactly what I'm sitting here writing about. I need to journal more cuz otherwise I get mentally constipated (teehee.. constipated) and don't do shit. We certainly need to do something.
I need to stop watching TV. It pollutes my thought process. We're geniuses and we're not realizing our fucking potential. Really. While idiots and trust fund babies make millions.... We're sitting around storing our ideas.
We can be great. we can be more than great. We can DEFINE "great". And no,I'm not high... I'm just behind u.... beside u, in front on u, facing u. Wherever u need me to be!... 100%. :)"

I take it as a sign. .. the synchronization of thought. there's something in the air. Maybe its the unity that comes from being a New Yorker on 9/11 or maybe its something else.

Yesterday I met a crazy Moroccan Jewish man. He had me write down my name and my mothers name on a piece of paper so that he could take it to his rabbi's grave and pray for the cleanising of our souls at midnight. He also told me that during the month of September God comes down and I will be able to feel him all around me. Oddly enough i felt connected to this man and I believed him. (first person who has ever convincingly spoken to me about God)
I feel clarity coming on. Its not here yet. But its on the red-eye and its circling overhead.

Gettin' their design on!

I haven't blogged in a minute! Been really busy. Lots going on. I want to take this time to hi-light some up and coming designers that I am lucky enough to know. I really admire these people for their hardwork and creativity.

First is Endless Noise. It is a jewelry brand started by New York-based Iran Ortiz .


Her jewelry is eclectic, funky, beautiful and can fit into the wardrobe of any young woman this side of 30 ;)
check it out at endlessnoisenyc.com

Second, is a company started by a group of Brooklynites called Rugby's and Co.
RUGBY'S stands for "Rich, Unique, Genuine Brothers Yearning to Succeed"










I am lucky enough to know the CEO of Rugby's, Lade Ademu-John, who helped start the company while he was an undergrad at Johnson & Wales University. The company's playful design reflect his youthful, optimistic outlook on life.

April 17th's excitement

I walked all over SOho and LES yesterday. The weather was just that beautiful. Here's a picture recap of my fabulous day

This guy dressed in a full cheetah print spandex body suit and proceeded to put on one of the best public shows ever right in the middle of Union Square. He jumped over 6.5 girls (the ".5" was a little 5 year old) I was girl #3

Thats my friend CHristina. She was girl #2

Thats girls 4 and 5

These guys were playing chess and talking soooo much shit. it was hilarious. That's "tuna fish" on the right... Don't u dare call him "Fish".. its "TUNA fish"

There's Christina about to get hustled by the shoeless chess man.

Some guy hanging out in a window on Broadway

Me smiling like an out of control 5 year old

The was a ballerino having his own private photoshoot in front of me while I snacked on strawberries... yes, i just said "ballerino". so what?

really hot guy. pose ain't bad either

the end of the day. The view from Stuy Town on east 14th st.

No day's complete without a minor lil' chocolate binge

After this I was dragged, under protest, to a rooftop party where I had LOTS of fun but took no pics :(

I heart..........

These are the things I (heart) today.........

Katerina Graham

Agent Provocateur: Witches Collection: Iona

I usually don't like animal print but I love this. Especially the high neck.

Love her big hair and her style

Anything and everything Sienna Miller wears

Public Royalty. Kinda getting back into sneaks since I have to do so much walking lately.


I'm tired. So that's all today. No clever anecdotes.
oh!.. except... I hate when men stare in your face on the subway. It's not disarming, sir. It's creepy and annoying and upsetting. So idiot men of New York, PLEASE STOP!... just had to get that off my chest... now back to phase 2 :)

love, me.... Free

I Die

One last thing before I go into phase 2 of my sleep (yes, I sleep in phases).

..... I absolutely heart these

I recommended that my big bro get these rings. cuz he's a huge engineering geek and these rings are sooooo geeky and chic... I mean the periodic table reference??... hilarious


These gloves are by LaCrasia and I absolutley adore them. As Rachel Zoe would say: "I die... I die... don't u just die?!"... yes, rachel. I DIE!

"F*ck Martha Stewart!"

The first rule of Fight CLub is you're not supposed to talk about it. So I'll just show pics from my Fight Club Digital Image board. It's entitled "F*ck Martha Stewart" inspired by the Tyler Durden quote "Fuck Martha Stewart. Martha's polishing the brass on the titanic. It's all going down man, so, fuck off with you're sofa units, and string green stripe patterns. I say never be complete. I say stop being perfect. I say let's evolve, let the chips fall where they may." preach!... (sure do love my designer purses tho, not to mention my sofa unit.... ssshhh dont tell tyler)

Love the bunny slippers
