first week.

The view from my bedroom window.

It’s nearly been a week since I’ve been in NYC and today it finally hit me (during the most mundane activity) that I live here.  I’ve been patiently waiting for that moment to hit and when it did, I could not stop smiling.  For the past few months, I’ve been anxiously anticipating the big move, but for that one moment today, I felt overwhelmed with elation.  I’m so happy to be here and so lucky to have a few amazing friends that have taken me in during my first week.  I can’t wait to share all of my adventures with you, but for now, check out a few stunning views of NYC from my Instagram account.

home sweet home.

I’m finally beginning to settle into my NYC apartment.  And even though there’s still plenty of clothes to be unpacked, I’m looking to add a few finishing touches to the place that I’m subletting for the next 2 1/2 months.  I never really invested in much home decor while in school, but now that I get to call NYC my home, I headed to West Elm to get inspired.  My current place is fully furnished, but when I find a more stable location, I plan on incorporating plenty of color, patterns, and texture.
