Bridal Snob in the Making

As if the title of this post doesn't tell it all, I'm totally becoming a bridal snob. I analyze every wedding ring I see, every dress a woman wears on her day, and critique every adorable wedding engagement video I see on YouTube and Facebook. I'm just saying, if I get proposed to with a boring ring.....

Anyway, I just finished breakfast with a banana that wasn't ripe enough and am waiting for Mom and Dad to get their butts up to the Bronx! It's their 24th year anniversary today and they took off of work to come spend the day! Dad hasn't seen my Bronx home yet, since he didn't come to move me in, and neither of the pair have been to the city with me, so I'm really excited! Being able to spend the day with their daughter is a good enough present, right? ;)

Yesterday was a total chill day for me. Afer getting back to the Bronx around 5:30 PM, I just straightened up my room and relaxed until Grace came back from MA and we chatted for a while. I love girl talk. Work on Saturday was a busy day! I was placed with Judith, once again, and we ended up with great brides. Four out of the five appointments said "yes" to a dress that looked great on them, and I helped with some comeback brides of the other consultants that said "yes" as well! During the final appointment, I was pulled to help a bride we'll call Emma who was coming back from that morning to retry on a dress she loved. Her consultant, Emily, needed to leave early to see her sister's play in Boston, so I helped Emma into a beautiful Reem Acra dress that she couldn't stop thinking about it. Emma was originally from upstate NY and has recently moved to CA with her fiancée (I'm kind of jealous)!

After work, I ran back to the Bronx to change and then headed to Penn Station to meet up with a friend that I work with at the pool store over the summer. We headed into Brooklyn and had a mini pool store reunion at someone else's house. It was so great to get out of the Bronx and meet new people! We all headed to IHOP the next morning for breakfast, which was greatly regretted later, and spent the morning watching football. I was a pretend boy for the morning, I suppose.

Tonight, I'm heading back to LI with my parents and am seeing one of my best friends for breakfast tomorrow morning! More girl talk is on the menu...

Travel Guide: Barbados

Hi ya'll! Welcome to Friday. Amen, we've made it. In the beginning of February, I was lucky enough to escape the snowy cold of NYC (seriously, I missed a big snow storm that closed down my office), and headed to the beautiful island of Barbados. For those of you who know the name but can't point it out on a map, Barbados is a little island just southeast of Saint Lucia in the Caribbean. Brett's parents, Laura and Jim, vacationed to Barbados last year and were SO beyond kind enough to ask us to join them this year. A week away from work, a tropical island without sharks, and free tour guides (aka Brett's parents) -- who would say no to that?! For anyone looking to book a vacation, or anyone looking to torture themselves with really pretty pictures of a really pretty place, see below for a Barbados travel guide! The island was truly amazing, with friendly locals, beautiful beaches, and delicious cuisine, and I would absolutely return! I'm usually ready to ...

Closing the Chapter: Farewell to Astoria (and the Whole30)

Hi all! Happy weekend ~ I feel like my week days are getting longer and my weekends are getting shorter, but at least the sun has been shining, which means Summer is almost here! After a big internal debate, I decided to end my Whole30 three days early and treated myself to wine and cashew milk icecream Friday night. Caity and I took advantage of the nice weather and met up for dinner, and after that, I just kept going. A teeny part of me wishes I held out the last few days, and the other part of me doesn't regret it even one little bit. When I made the decision to begin the Whole30 (while I was vomiting into a garbage can in my kitchen with the stomach virus), I had hopes that I would learn what foods bothered my digestive system. Throughout the past 30  27 days, I have learned a ton of self control when it comes to eating (I used to have this, and then it all went away...), and have become aware of how much sugar is unnecessarily added into just about everything we eat. Becau...

Dress-Up Day

Tuesday is a weird day.... I have off Monday and Wednesday, so going into work today and having off tomorrow feels pretty odd! Anyway, I once again arrived too early this morning, so I stopped at Starbucks and had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte. I have to admit, it did make me excited for fall... We had our morning meeting out on the main floor today. Nicole and Kim (two Directors) showed off the new Augusta Jones dresses which were really pretty! I also met a consultant who has been on vacation. After the meeting, Joan paired me with Rita, a consultant who has been with Kleinfeld for over 20 years. She is from Italy and there is a slight language barrier, but she was so funny and nice and kept me laughing the entire time! While there were over 70 appointments today, Rita and I only had two brides! The day was so slow for us, and therefore boring at times. I really did enjoy working with Rita, though. Because she has been with Kleinfeld for so long, she knows everything, and freely s...
