Little Black Dress
Oh, the little black dress... A classic staple of every lady. A timeless piece in your closet. Always so perfect for any occasion and always so "upgradeable." Add different jewelry/accessories, different shoes and bag and voilà! No one will remember how many times you've actually worn it.
Father’s Day Gift Ideas
To the fathers in our lives: Thank you for working so hard to support our dreams. Thank you for working so hard and setting an example that things in life don't come easy - you have to work for them. Thank you for working so hard that we realize that time spent with you is so valuable. Thank you for believing in our dreams and always helping us improve. Thank you for teaching us how to change a tire, fire up the grill and all of the other things that we never thought we needed, but soon enough we realized that we actually really do. Thank you for being our biggest fan.
Advice to Graduating High School Seniors
Collage by me. Yay! You've made it! Well, you still have four more years of college ahead of you, but you have just closed a one long chapter in your life. Hopefully, your high school experience has been a positive one and hopefully one day you'll look back at those days with that nostalgic feeling. Graduating might seem like a catastrophe right now, because you're so sad about leaving your group of friends behind and afraid of stepping into unfamiliar, maybe even moving away from home... But, you know what? You are going to love college.
Flowers and Fringe
Hello my fellow Stylegazers! Yet again, I have decided to take my photos on the beautiful grounds around the Cathedral of the Incarnation. Of course, if you remember – I have taken some pics there before? (Here and here.) However, this time around the post is all about the flowers (notice my backdrop) and fringe ('cause I just can't get over the trend).
Visual Diary: Argyle Park
Hello my fellow Stylegazers! This time I have decided to take a walk in the Argyle Park – a gorgeous lake park in the heart of Babylon Village. It was a beautiful day for the most part, until the dark clouds rolled in, but hey – that’s just life. The dark clouds come and they go… All we can do is try and make the best of the situation.
In Paradise: The Sands Point Preserve
Hello my fellow Stylegazers! As you might’ve noticed by far, I really like spending time in the nature or at old estates, those remnants of a time that I never got a chance to be a part of. Cause, you know… we are always nostalgic for those eras we were not born in. The grass is always greener on the other side, am I right?
Cultivate the Soul: 10 Ways to Live a Happier Life
The moment I walked into my positive psychology class my junior year in college, I was so ready to dismiss it. The cynic in me thought – “Pfft! Come on! As if! To teach someone how to be happy is an equivalent to trying to make Mara Rooney smile in pictures – absolutely pointless.” You either are or aren’t and that totally depends on your brain’s chemistry and the circumstances you’re in. But, was I wrong?
I Went to The 1975 Concert Alone and Here’s What Happened…
Confession: I am an avid concertgoer and have been one since my teenage angst kicked in. A year after year, and concert after concert, there happen to be two things that this music addict never experienced – seeing her favorite band at the arena and going to a concert alone.
Down by the Water…
Hello fellow Stylegazers! Our long lost friend SUN has finally decided to grace us with its presence, giving me an excuse to chill at one of Port Washington’s parks. There’s nothing I find as relaxing as just being “down by the water.” The sun and wind in your hair, the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks (or as they embrace the shore), seagulls making circles in the sky and ducks, geese and swans disrupting the
Fun in the Sun: 15 SPF-Charged Creams to Keep You Protected
Sun’s out and you know what that means? Yes – FUN! But also – safety. As soon as it starts feeling like summer out (even though we should care about these things during the "cuffing season" too), the first thing I think of is unfortunately not the bikinis, but how to properly protect myself. Call me a hypochondriac, but sun, although crucial to the life on Earth, can also be detrimental to our health.
