MYNY

I'm super excited about my most recent collaboration, with Coach and their MYNY Poppy campaign. This officially made me realize I'm a New Yorker. I'll always be a Floridian, but I've been living here for more than three years! This feels like home, now more than ever.

I picked the Tyler Moto Jacket because I have been on the hunt for the perfect motorcycle jacket for over a year. Kismet! It's super soft and fits beautifully - and it has a teal lining. I love that I can push the sleeves up, zip it up or wear it open. Naturally, I paired it with an overtly feminine skirt and bows. As much as I want to think I can be Joan Jett, even in a leather jacket I am still a girly girl. But hey, if I can't be Joan, I'm up for playing her love interest in any future videos. Joan, what do you think? Do I have a shot?

Food, Fun, Friends!

Someone in the universe took pity on me and my ancient phone. Last week(ish), I was invited to a leisurely day of food, drinks, Minx manicures (!!!) and a little bit of tech discussion at Meet at the Apartment, hosted by HTC. Though I admit I was drawn to the event mostly by talk of free Minx manicures (I'm cheap, I know) - it was also pretty exciting to play with their new Droid Incredible. Even more exciting - we got to keep them! It's no match for my free upgrades and hand me down, crappy phones (note my sarcasm), but it's alright;) Unfortunately, I don't have Verizon, I have AT&T. I have a lot of issues with AT&T, but most of my family and friends have it. Does anyone have feedback about Verizon? Specifically, people in NYC?

Aside from being hosted by some really wonderful people, I also ran into a lot of familiar faces. It was reminiscent of a slumber party, complete with cupcakes!

Minxy Little Thing

My little manicure pays homage to two great blogging ladies, Greta Guide and Wendy Brandes, the queen of Minx manicures. See how the ring finger's nail is different? That is lovely Greta's trademark. It was a coincidence that they did them that way (it was a time issue), but shhh...I've actually copied her nail trend before.

This is only my second experience with Minx (I had a full set a year or so ago), but I think they are so much fun!

(p.s. Minx are little decals that are shaped and applied to your nails with heat)
