The New Is In

The New Is In

I’m feeling better already

I introduce to you, Sahra 2013. It’s been a long week of self evaluation and reflection and I’m here to introduce the new me. I will not accept what I know I don’t deserve. I’m ready to take the world by storm in the aspects of jobs and relationships with my new “big girl” hair. It’s time to buckle down and stop wasting time.

My inbox has been flooding with good emails this week; paid writing gigs, possible editing and writing full time job, modeling bookings, blog sponsors… I’m ready to be the 23 year old adult I am and that means losing the Ariel locks; I haven’t had brown hair in YEARS, but it’s day two and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve kept my versatile and fun sidecut and septum piercing, but we all know those are hideable and still a tribute to my fun-loving youthful side.

THIS is growing up.

I’m ready to take 2013 by storm (a month in)!

Homesickness

It’s been a long two and a half months away from my New York City; a long tumultuous few months. But pending review from my primary doctor tomorrow, I should be back staring at the skyline from the Brooklyn coast the beginning of August! For now, a few visits and this tee shirt shall suffice.

Singles Day

Mmmm Valentines Day. The day where women put plenty of pressure on MEN and expect the most out of their loves ones. The day Hallmark and other greeting cards company make use of their red dyes.

Also, the day single people drown their sorrows in wine and grimaces. Obviously, this year I’m single. I spent the day blogging and doing some work from home, breaking in my new TopShop tights in an “all dressed up but nowhere to go” type situation. And then made my brother take photos when he got home from school.

Thankfully, my Valentine’s Day ended on a better note, with a three course fondue meal with my family and some good ol’ White Zinfandel wine and a box of chocolates.

New Shoes

Back in May, while out shopping with my friend Sarah, I stopped by cheap-o shop Rainbow. I fell in love.

Gold glittering heels with red, yellow, and blue straps…70’s, glam, and perfection.

I thought about them. for months. I mean, this was back in MAY.

Until, one hungover morning adventure with my new roommate we ventured into Rainbow and GUESS WHAT!?  THOSE SHOES WERE ON SALE. for TEN DOLLARS.

Cheap, glam and amazing. They’re now mine. Oh, heavenly. Say what you want, trash talk them, but I LOVE THEM. I’ve been wearing them around the house anytime I’m home since I got them. omg.

My Birthday!

Thursday was My Birthday!! 22 years old, baby! And unlike many young 20-something’s I didn’t want to have a party at a club or bar, or go out and do shots or drink. What I wanted for my birthday was to go to Connecticut’s Mystic Aquarium.

Since it was my birthday I received free admission, and I had been looking forward to feeding the sting rays and doing a one on one encounter with the penguins. Like, I was telling everyone at work about how ecstatic I was.
Sadly, the aquarium only does those things in the summer months. While I did get to pet the sting rays and smaller sharks, everything else was a no go.

Still, I had an amazing time!

Can you tell I love jellyfish!? Also, look at these eels! They look straight out of the little mermaid!!

I had some fun in the gift shop as well, they had some “kanye shades”. I ended up getting this amazing jellyfish tee shirt as well!

After that fun afternoon of sea creatures, I surprised my parents back home! They took me out to dinner at a shockingly fancy, delicious, and well priced Italian restaurant in their town of Seekonk, MA called ‘Chardonnay’. The ambiance was great, with faux candles to set a calm mood.

With a bottle of wine and birthday cards we feasted on a Mediterranean pizza piled with spinach, olives, feta and onions; all my favorites!
I then finished off my birthday night with dessert and drinks with some local friends at UNOs.

Oh sweet, delicious success of becoming 22!

The Met

Totalllllly late. But a few weeks ago I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with a few friends to see the Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty Exhibit and peruse the museum. Strangely enough, having lived in NYC about four years now this was my first museum…EVER.

Boring little outfit post about this look I wore to work and then to the Vintage Twin Trunk Show and then shopping and then to a bar. Really, this is an all purpose look that works for so many places to go!

Please pay no mind to my unpainted nails…They’ve since been painted.

Palace Playland

One extremely hot day of vacation, the BF, siblings and I hit up the downtown arcade and amusement park, Palace Playland. We splurged on all-day bracelets for the rides, which definitely worked out their worth with the log flume ride alone. With our bracelets we rode each ride a few times, and bumper car’d for a solid half hour straight.

 

After being worn out by constant motion, we moved on to the arcade and played a ton of skee ball, basketball, and motion games, winning a solid 656 tickets, used for bracelets and candy 😀

Now, for what I wore:

Wet seal tanks

Express Shorts

Charming Charlie’s bag (NEW!)

DB sandals
