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 ...

Kleinfeld Bridal: Day One

With a huge blister on my heel and my day two outfit chosen and ready, I'm sitting down after my first day of my internship, eager to write about that happened! So... Even though my commute into work is only about an hour, I decided to leave an hour and a half early this morning, and I'm glad I did! I had the wrong bus time so I missed the first bus, stood at the wrong track and therefore missed a train (it comes to a different track during rush hours apparently), and then was held for about five minutes in station when I got onto the transfer train. After all of that, I was still somehow about 15 minutes early, so I wandered around Trader Joe's and borrowed their bathroom. I arrived to Kleinfeld around 9:55 (I was asked to be there at 10), and then waited around until 10:30 when the other two interns that were starting today showed up. I guess I got the wrong memo! I didn't mind waiting though, I let my eyes wander around what I could see of the dresses on the floo...
