The boyfriend and I have our first NYC apartment! I’ve been subletting since I moved here and even though it was nice place to set up base for a few months, it definitely lacked a personal touch. So when it came to finding an apartment of our own, we wanted to make sure that it was a place we could call home for the next year or two.
Well I scoured the city, trolled Craigslist, and scoped out a dozen apartments during my search. And just when I started to lose hope, I found this gem: a fourth floor walk-up in Gramercy with new renovations, great living space, and two amazing closets (well … for NYC). From the search, to the application, to the fees and deposits — it’s been an exhausting process. But now that’s behind us, we get to focus on making this apartment and this city our home!

So much to be thankful for this year. As always, love, family, and friends are at the top of the list. Without them, I doubt I would have been as determined to pass the bar exam, or brave enough to move to New York, or resilient enough to make it through Hurricane Sandy.
I’m also grateful for all the opportunities I’ve been afforded this year: a new city to call home, an exciting job that I truly enjoy, new friends to share incredible experiences with, and of course, you — a growing group of readers and supporters who share an overwhelming obsession for style, life, and culture. I couldn’t be any luckier. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I fall deeper in love with NYC every time I step out the front door. There’s always so much to do, be it shopping, eating, aimless meandering, or all of the above. Last week, the boyfriend came to visit and it was the perfect time to check out some notable sights, but also to explore more hidden gems. Here’s a collection of my most recent NYC adventures via Instagram.

Sweets and drinks — a common theme in my life.
