gone fishin’

Heading to New Orleans for a few days!  Very excited!  Hope to eat lots of good food and listen to some awesome jazz.  Be back soon…

pineapple juice @ grays papaya

Heading home after the gym today, I was craving some ice-cold pineapple juice from Gray’s Papaya up in the Upper West Side.  So I stopped in for a cup of it.  I like their hotdogs too which is what they are known for, but definitely their juices are really tasty (they have pina colada and papaya as well, among others).  Pineapple is by far my favorite.  It’s so ice cold and I always drink it so fast that I get momentary brain freeze…haha…very worth it though.  Love the brown mustard there too!  Must have been high fashion day today too because I saw 3 women with Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Burberry purses with the clothes to match those high end bags.  Goes to show no one is too rich to stop in for a a plain ol’ hotdog. 

They have their “Recession Special” there which is 2 hot dogs plus a drink for I think $4.25 or so.  2 yrs ago, it was $3.75 when I moved to NY and much more worth it then (considering the price of the drink alone at regular price is $3.75).

alexander mcqueen diamonds

These crazy diamond, crystal like prints are showing up on designer Alexander McQueen’s line of clothing and I think they are pretty eye-catching.  Caught the dress with the more pinkish tones in a magazine and thought it was pretty incredible and beautiful.

mousey brown

This woman walked up to me today while I was taking out the recycling (just rolled outta bed in my pjs and slippers…haha).  Told me she loved my haircut and it was exactly what she had been wanting and wondered where I got my haircut.  I told her Mousey Brown in Brooklyn. 

It’s an awesome place and I never come out disappointed.  Thanks Andrew for making my hair look so good!  Highly recommend this place ladies.  The do email consultations too if you want beforehand so they can figure out what works best for your hair.
