Test Shoot in the Park

On a rainy NYC day, photographer Michael Isiah and I were heading to the Frieze Art Fair but, the weather had our ferry delayed. We decided to get in a quick test photoshoot with his new camera. After a while, there was still a hold on ferries so we went from the dock to a nearby park. Everything was going great and then…

He dropped it!

We were both devastated, him more than I for obvious reasons; that was his brand new baby!

Luckily, he was able to retrieve some of the photos and sent them to me. Here are a few of my faves.

I love these shots so much! He even developed a 20 x 20 of my favorite picture (the first one) for me to hang up, he’s the sweetest. I feel like this is a sign for me to get back into modeling and acting. You never know, stay tuned. ;)

Bowlero x Michi Collection

Heading out bowling at in Bowlero in Queens, New York, I decided to throw on the newest look from Michi Collection. I actually know the designer, she’s an absolute sweetheart and super talented. Her brand was founded in 2007 and I’ve been rocking her looks for a while. She’s been about making sure the Material Girls stay fly and I love it! Check her out.

The Central Park Boathouse

Enjoying a beautiful summer sunset at the Loeb Boathouse im Central Park, NYC. It’s so serene and relaxing to be out on the water, just rowing away, and forgetting you’re in the concrete jungle for a while.

There’s also a restuarant making this a perfect little “getaway” that’s (beyond) romantic enough for a date.

View footage of my boathouse excursion on my NYC Instagram story and check out hours, pricing & more on the Central Park website.

Bastille Day 2018

To celebrate Bastille Day, the French National Day used to signify a turning point in the French Revolution and unification of the people, I threw a small picnic with an abundance of pastries, champagne and other fine delicacies.

Paris being one of my favorite cities, I always try to celebrate on my own or enjoy the festivities at the NYC Bastille Day celebration. Santé!

Golf Club at Chelsea Piers

The Golf Club at Chelsea Piers is so much fun! Learn, practice and play golf with astonishing views of the pier. I’m just getting into golf so for now, I’m mainly using the driving range but in time, I may actually get a membership here!

Two E Bar & Lounge at the Pierre Hotel

Dress: BooHoo, Shoes: Aldo, Fascinator: Amazon, (Unpictured) Ostrich Clutch: Kate Spade

One sunny Sunday afternoon, I met with a good friend to try Two E Bar’s Royal Afternoon Tea service.

The Royal Afternoon Tea service included finger foods and pastries like lobster rolls, caviar on buckwheat blinis, smoked salmon on rye, scones, tartlets, macarons and more. As far as beverages, I chose the Tropical Garden tea and the Taittinger Brut champagne. Every single thing was delicious, I even had the waiter refill my teapot it was so good!

I actually bought a Groupon for Two E Bar after the facial I bought was invalid; the business closed. I always wanted to visit this place, as the Pierre’s decor is absolutely breathtaking and I’m so glad I did, I’ll definitely be a regular here.

Til next time,

Galeries Bartoux

One Sunday after having tea at The Pierre Hotel, I stumbled across this quaint little gallery. I fell in love instantly and just had to share.

Chinese Tuxedo NYC

pants: boohoo, top: h&m, shoes: f21

I love food. Like, head over heels, mad love. So when I was invited to have dinner with friends at a place I haven’t tried, Chinese Tuxedo, I leaped at the opportunity. I'm so glad I did!

Oh. My. Everything!

They’re only about a year old but I think I just found my new favorite restaurant! Tucked away in ChinaTown, this place is breathtaking! The candles, the pink neon signs and the entire romantic ambiance was just a cherry on top of the astonishing meal I had.

I tried the crispy eggplant, spicy cucumbers, watercress salad, veggie dumplings, BBQ chicken, baby bak choi, succulent sea bass, chili crab fried rice and dungeness crab. I don’t eat red meat but I watched my friends devour the steak tartare and a cafe de chinois butter topped rib-eye steak.

Then of course, there was dessert, because there’s always room; sorbet, a creme brûlée egg custard tart and a soufflé.

Every. Single. Thing. Was. Amazing! No exaggeration. I could barely believe it.

One more cool thing about this place is the menu changes every few months. I’m so looking forward to making this place a regular and trying out new dishes, as I hear wonderful things about the scallops and prawns.

I was stuffed and satisfied beyond measure and I can hardly wait to return. Just a heads up, reservations are required.
