This last weekend was spent away from the city in the beautiful Hamptons. Despite it being a relatively short trip (3 hours) from the city, it has to go down as one of my favourite places I’ve visited so far this year. A big thank you to Michaela for organising the fabulous house and most …
Happy Friday Everyone! I haven’t been this excited a weekend in a while. After such a long, hot week in the city I am so excited to be heading to the Hamptons for the first time this summer with a few of my closest friends here, Lorna, Erika & Michaela. Today was spent appreciating Irish …
New York is a great place to be at all times of the year, but I have to admit that Summer is definitely my favourite. I spent 3 summers here before finally moving over for the year this year. One of the tricky things about New York in the summer is the heat – dressing …
This past weekend was the first one in ages I’ve had the whole weekend in the city with no major plans – and I couldn’t have been happier about it! I caught up with friends, lounged around in the sun and had lots of food and drink.. my favourite kind of weekend. It kicked off …
Settling back into the normal work day routine is never easy after a week off, especially in the summer. I think it’s ingrained in us Irish to feel shame being inside on a sunny day. Being back and knowing it’s only for the short term as I head back to Ireland in September makes me …
Here we are again… wishing the week away until Friday. This weekend was a busy one as usual – very different to the weekends I have at home where I just take time to relax. Especially because I am only here for one year, every weekend I try and fit in as much as possible …
As move in day approaches, there is no better time to take a stroll around my new neighbourhood than now.I’ve had a busy day of packing and unpacking and I couldn’t be more excited to move in on June 12th. In the meantime I’ll be staying with family in Connecticut & travelling to the Dominican …
Saturday morning in Miami was spent exploring the amazing Art Deco region, where our hotel was. On second thought, it wasn’t the morning – more like half an hour because it was SO hot. It was literally 32 degrees Celcius (90 degrees Farhenheit) from 10 0′ Clock in the morning, so we ran straight to …
I’m so excited that in June I will be moving from Queens into Manhattan for the summer! I have been living in Astoria, Queens for the last 8 months, and I also spent my J1 living here. There are so many great restaurants and bars, lots of trains (N, Q, M & R), it’s reasonably …
I thought it would make sense to do a post on what I spend 5/7ths of my week wearing – workwear. In Manhattan I think it’s fair to say that most offices expect you to dress professionally. Coming straight from college and part-time work, I really lacked in this department of my wardrobe so I …
