hotchkiss dinners

So one of the greatest parts about living in New York City is that I get to be close to so many friends that I haven't seen in a long time. I feel blessed to have made so many great friends over the years and while I am not the best at keeping in touch it is great to know that I live so close to so many of them right now. My favorite new tradition my high school friends and I have started is Hotchkiss Dinners. A group of about 5 of us from Hotchkiss started doing monthly dinners about a year ago or maybe 9 months ago, I can't really remember. We rotate who will host the dinner at his/her apartment and we decide what we wanna eat and cook a great meal together. It is such a blast!!! Our group is starting to grow and I just love it. I look forward to these dinners every month. I can't express how amazing it is to get to relax with great friends, drink lots of wine, cook delicious food and just laugh. Last night we had a dinner at (Chris) Ingram's apartment. The menu consisted of caesar salad, garlic bread, spaghetti & meatballs, and a white chocolate cheesecake with strawberries that I made.


I want to make a special shout-out to my love Kevin for cooking most of the meal last night, I helped of course. He is an amazing cook and I love him so much!

look i'm famous... sorta... ok not really

I have been working hard lately to wear more of the clothes that I own and to find different ways to put outfits together. I have gotten a lot of inspiration from the Fashion Blogs that I follow - thank you girls out there for being so fashion savvy! Last week my friend Tim, who I work with, took my photo to submit to his friend's blog: workoutfits. Here I am (well it was yesterday). Notice the new shoes! I didn't actually wear them with the outfit, I wore my timbs to work to combat the gross snowy slush, but the shoes arrived right before I headed home so I had to try them on. I am in LOVE!!! Thank you Seychelles for making amazing shoes:)

I'm a newbie:)

Phew, my very first blog post. I have to admit I am a little nervous and am not really sure where I will go with this blog. Let the adventure begin... feel the fear and do it anyway!
