Cheers To If You've Been Wrong In All The Right Ways.....

2010 has been life changing, eyeopening & exhilarating

I've been crazed, dazed, missed, dissed, i've wished,cried, screamed, & danced among other things

What will 2011 have in store for me & all the amazing people that have made this year for me?

The surprise of what can & will happen next is the fun part, ...right?

Last new years I wished for my baby cousin to survive her second bout of leukemia, sweet Julianna is back at school with a full beautiful bob of red hair.

I'm still thinking of this year's wish...

Cheers to more laughter, excitement, love, change & whatever life may throw at me.

Happy New Year, May All Of Your Wildest Dreams Come True.

XOXOXO

Crazy.Beautiful.

2010 has been life changing, eyeopening, & exhilarating.


This year has taught me:

Our obstacles are our greatest teachers.

To take nothing for granted, nothing.

You can't change how others act, only how you react.

That nothing is handed to you, you gotta work your tail off to get to the top.

To listen to your inner voice, its always right.

& To dream as if there are no limits but the sky, you may just get your wish.

2010 has brought me:

Fits of hysterical laughter

More friends than I have ever had in my life.

To a amazing city that I now call home.

More strength & tenacity that I ever knew I had.

Let's talk new year resolutions, I was reading UK Cosmopolitan and I found a list of 75 things to do before you die, or lets just say in the new year. I won't bore you all with all 75 but I'll share some that I have done or just  thought were really funny.

Spend over $500 on something designer, because your worth it and don't be scared to let it out of the house.

Discover the reason your parents are so irritating is because they love you so much.

Kiss someone highly inappropriate.

While your at it, sleep with someone highly inappropriate too.

Do something kind for someone else when there's nothing in it for you.

Buy a pair of killer heels that you can't walk in.

learn how to take a compliment, yes you do look that gorgeous.

call your family just to tell them you love them.

raise $1000 for charity.

get your dream job, or into your dream school. Yes. You. Can.

Live in the heart of a city.

Own something from Prada.

Ask a hot man on a date, or to dance, or to kiss you. gotta take risks, so what if he says no?

See him, Want him, get him, keep him. Yes Mr. Right does exist, you just haven't met him yet.


To all the people that have made the last four months of my life Crazy. Beautiful.

Madeleine : My Paparazzi flocking partner in crime. My Reese Witherspoon look-a-like " manager".

Andrea: My Jersey Girl, I knew we would be  friends after you dragged me out of the stairwell after my big trip down in my clogs!

Nadia: You have brought much needed fits of hysterical laughter in my days.

Sara: Without you my life would lack cuteness, love blasting & singing my heart out to Taylor Swift with you in the hallway.

My To Do list is currently blank for the first time in I don't even know how long.I'm looking forward to going home for the holidays, back to longIsland only a hour away but a whole different world.To all my friends, Cheers to many more adventures & hysterical times together. Each and everyone of you have brought laughter & happiness into my life.I'm so blessed that I finally found my " Tribe". See you all in the spring, when it all begins again.

I'm Moving To Manhattan & I'm Never Looking Back.....



Every promise you've broken
You can have 'em back
Every favorite moment
Every panic attack
Every door left unopened
While I just stared through the crack

Don't know where this is going
And that's where I'm at.
And that's just the way it is
And that's just the way it is

I don't want your this... No
I don't want your that... No
I'm moving to Manhattan
and I'm never looking back
Never looking back never looking
I don't want your things... No
Don't care what you think... No
I'm moving to Manhattan
And I'm never looking back
Never looking back

Gonna hop on the next plane
And just see where it goes
Gonna empty my closet
Gonna throw out my clothes
I've got 200 dollars, a guitar and a coat
Yeah I hear it gets cold there
But I'm already froze

I don't want your this... No
I don't want your that... No
I'm moving to Manhattan
and I'm never looking back
Never looking back never looking
I don't want your things... No
Don't care what you think... No
I'm moving to Manhattan
And I'm never looking back
Never looking back
Never looking back

Never looking back

Ive learned to take it all in stride
To see the world with my own eyes
I've learned to trust the other side
Other side other side

I don't want your this
I don't want your that
I'm moving to Manhattan
and I'm never looking back
Never looking back never looking
I don't want your things... No
Don't care what you think... No
I'm moving to Manhattan
And I'm never looking back
Never looking back

I don't want your things
I don't care what you think
I'm moving to Manhattan
I'm moving to Manhattan
I don't care what you think
I don't care what you think
I'm moving to Manhattan
And I'm never looking back
Never looking back again

 Love this city, and all the crazy. beautiful things that have happened the last four months of my life here. I became a freelance intern for Pookie & Sebastian, made it to fashion week to see Milly, Many sleepless nights , times that my patience & tenacity were put to the test, how bad do I want this? Many days & nights filled with fits of hysterical laughter, thanks to my friends. Finally found my "tribe" after years of being around people that I just didn't understand, and didn't understand me. There were times I cried, screamed, laughed, either out of excitement, stress, or whatever. I still can't believe I made it here, never mind the fact that its the last week of the first semester of foundation hell. I made it! It just doesn't seem real, still. I'm here because I'm following my heart...through everything's that's happened good, bad, happy, sad.. I don't regret a minute of it.
