The Soloist

Saturday, August 09, 2014

 I bet you think this post is about my newfound guitar skills...
or this awesomely placed water bottle...

but this post is about how very little summer clothes I own and it may or may not having everything to do with the ever-growing spread of my hips or me spending the majority of my time at work? Either way I can’t seem to commit to summer-wear and my best bet, because I’m almost always running late, is a dress. Yeah, I know it’s quite lazy but you have to admit it dresses/rompers/overalls are a one and done kind of awesome.

When I am short on time throwing on a dress is a quick fix that allows me extra styling/makeup time. I wore this dress to meet my boyfriend for lunch and he thought I looked so tomboy cute it didn’t even bother him that I was late. Hence the dress serves as a timesaver and a distraction, which is a win/win situation. During the workweek when getting out the bed early is the most difficult, I opt for printed dresses in breathable fabrics. Once the weekend rolls around I put on a floral sundress or a body-con maxi dress. Sometimes I have a vision I feel compelled to bring to life and sometimes, usually after three wardrobe changes, my boyfriend is just like “just put something on”.

I have been wearing these air max 90's a lot lately but that's probably going to change because I just snag a cool pair of Diesel trainners and they are so euro-cool, I CAN'T EVEN.

Keep The Receipt

There’s this funny idea that all NYC bloggers are living the sex and the city life and I am sure there are a few…

I am not living the Sex and The City life; I am actually living in the Bronx and aside from my hour commute to work in midtown and to my sons’ school in Soho, I am quite alright with this borough. I was born here, Thanksgiving 1988 my mom gave birth to me in our apartment on Courtland Avenue. I have only resided in the Bronx so this is will always simply be home to me. I think the Bronx gets a bad rap because it is the only borough that has not jumped on the gentrification train... I am not going to discuss gentrification but I will say I agree with a lot of what Spike Lee has to say.

 There's something refreshing and nostalgic to know that all these changes are taking place around New York but the Bronx is still the Bronx: still blaring Big Pun and Mary J Blige hits at summer block parties, still chaotic on the 4 or the D train the day of a Yankee game, still making authentic Italian food in the original Little Italy.

Sometimes I long for healthy food alternatives better shopping, maybe a Wholefoods or Trader Joes, but hey what are you going to do? I mean there’s a Starbucks 800 feet from my house, that may seem little but trust me it is big.
