By the time this goes up, I will be high in the key, with ample magazines and snacks. My flight go-to? M&Ms and gummy bears. Yeah, I’m all about getting sugared up at 35,000 feet! While I had planned on scheduling a few blog posts here while I”m gone, I scrapped them. Blogging on [...]

Summer Staples

Sunscreen, ice cream, sandals. This weekend, summer kicks off and I am ready! The city comes alive in the summer and the streets are filled with laughter. Ok, so the actual sticky-humid summer weather is less than ideal but you know what, I’ll take it. If you see a girl with frizzy Monica-Gellar-Humid-Frizz-hair, that’s me [...]

From the Cannes Red Carpet

The epitome of Hollywood glamour and beauty, the Cannes Film Festival is the only film festival that truly captures the utter spirit and sophistication of movie magic. I also think it’s the only film festival that I wish I could somehow sneak an invite to. Can you imagine it? In the most gorgeous location in [...]

Blueberry-Filled Pie Bars

When I picture summer, I picture these bars. Simple, colorful, messy, juicy. That’s summer to me. Sure, I adore rich flavors like chocolate, peanut butter and caramel but give me fruit and I’m your gal. Which, go figure, is why summer is a favorite of mine. All the fresh produce and bountiful markets. It [...]

New York Diary: Recent Highlights

aboyce18 — Mon, 21 May 2012 14:00:12 +0000

I officially fail when it comes to bringing my camera around town with me. Bulky and heavy, I hate lugging that thing around. However, trying to generate content for the blog about my New York adventures can be a little difficult without a camera. Fancy that! Anyways, I didn’t want to completely kill this series [...]

Inspired: Summer Hair

Suddenly it’s Friday. Friday! When did that happen? Time is moving at a much faster pace and while I welcome the weekend, I get a little panicky at the thought of it rushing by so far. This time next week, I’ll be in sunny California again, soaking up the sun and spending time with my [...]

Well-Built Home

aboyce18 — Thu, 17 May 2012 14:00:48 +0000

Last weekend, in a post-graduate school completion high, I started dreaming about building a home. Somewhere. Anywhere. What would it be like to come home and feel relief and calm? Not that the place I’m living in now doesn’t do that – it does. However it isn’t my home. To find treasures, to create [...]

New Series: Color Combinations

aboyce18 — Wed, 16 May 2012 14:00:11 +0000

Embracing color has never been my strong suit. In fact, if you peer into my tiny closet, you’d see an abundance of black and white. Staples, I’d like to call them. However, with a new found attitude towards adopting a more personality-filled wardrobe, I’m slowly but surely adding in more pieces of color. Hence this [...]

Fresh Strawberry Scones

aboyce18 — Tue, 15 May 2012 14:00:30 +0000

I have this trait, a personality flaw that I’m starting to realize. I do favors. A lot. For others. It can be kind of exhausting and while I enjoy helping others out, it’s a bit much. Don’t get me wrong, being an empathetic and caring person is really important . But I also think [...]

A Weekend Outdoors

aboyce18 — Mon, 14 May 2012 18:59:36 +0000

Things I did this weekend: I shared a gourmet meal (hello Shake Shack) with a fine fellow and marveled at how beautiful the stars were from Madison Square Park. I successfully cleaned out my fridge – watch out, closet: I’m coming for you next. I finished my graduate school semester. Only one more summer session [...]
