April Recap / Instagram Edition

Sunday, May 3, 2015

Happy May!! I thought I would do a bit of an April Recap - through my instagram shots - and think about what a great month April was. 


Week 1 

April started out wonderfully. The first day of April was also the first day of my Easter break and my mom and sister came to visit me in New York. My mom was the first to arrive and we went to the zoo and ate out at some delicious places. (Including Jean-Georges! Yum)


Once my sister arrived we made our way to various delicious restaurants because that is the Perry family's favorite activity - eating. We went to a speakeasy bar, PDT, Eataly, brunch at Spring Natural Kitchen, two delicious Asian restaurants, and a bar in Brooklyn called The Way Station. That was one of my favorite spots because it was a 'nerd bar' with a bunch of Doctor Who themed drinks. Their bathroom was even a TARDIS!!!! 


 We also went to see the hilarious musical - A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder - it was fantastic and afterwards we met the main actor, Jefferson Mays. 


Week 2

Week 2 of April began with lots of work to catch up on (oops) and a few busy days at work. At the end of the week, my friend Laurel and I celebrated our hard work with a delicious feast. The next day, my roommates and I all went out for a fun night! 

Week 3

Week 3 brought beautiful weather (finally) and Earth Day. Plus, we celebrated one of my fellow interns last day at Town and Country. I ended the week getting drinks with my current (and future) roommates at one of our favorite places. 



Week 4

Week 4 was an absolute blast. The five days leading up the weekend were spent working hard and finishing up papers so that we could spend our weekend celebrating. It was my school's Spring Weekend celebration. It's one of the best times of the year because we have a whole week of amazing events. This year, Brandon Stanton, the creator of Humans of New York came and spoke at our school. On Friday, we had a DJ and then on Saturday we had live music, food, and a huge dance. 

The Spring Weekend performers this year were Twenty One Pilots, who I actually really love. They put on an incredible show. The dance this year was themed as 'Magic and Mystery' and I had such an amazing time dancing all night.


Week 5

The final days of April were spent enjoying the beautiful weather and working hard. It was our last week of classes so I had many a paper to finish up. But after such a hard week it was amazing to let off steam. Friday brought my other fellow intern at Town and Country, Elizabeth's, last day. We celebrated in office with Thai from Chai Thai Kitchen. 

Post-work, I went over to her apartment and we enjoyed a beautiful view off her roof and cheered to a successful month!

 
 


April was one of the best months I've had in awhile. It brought so many fun and exciting things to experience, and the promise of so many more in the future.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Sunday, July 6, 2014

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of posting the past few days! It was a pretty busy Fourth of July weekend so I apologize! I hope you, if you're one who celebrates the 4th, had a lovely holiday!

This post is just a bit of a personal weekend wrap-up type; recounting what I did this weekend along with some pictures! I hope you guys enjoy and hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Thursday July 3rd

I had work until about 3 today and then I came home, watched some TV and walked my dog. Then my friend came over and we watched the premiere episode of The Leftovers (it was really good by the way), and then did some little fireworks at my house! 

Time for sparklers!


How pretty do these look!?


Friday the 4th 

Today was the big holiday! I woke up and watched the two world cup matches of the day (Go Argentina!) and then met up with my friend later that night. We hung out for a bit and then went to watch the fireworks that my city does every 4th. Everyone gathers on the Quad, sits on blankets, and enjoys the fireworks!


Here's my very festive 4th outfit! The sweater is from Necessary Clothing, and I'm wearing Jeans from American Eagle!



The fireworks were absolutely beautiful. I've always loved them. I think they're such an amazing feat of science and technology and pyrotechnics so I'm constantly amazed by them. I do wish we had fireworks like the ones in Lord of the Rings though! :)


The fireworks ended a little before 10, so me and friends came back to my house and did a few more fun, little fireworks! 


I always do the Climbing Panda in honor of my sister, Amanda. Her nickname is Panda and she's far away in D.C. so I set off the Panda firework in her honor!


Freckles, my dog, was very nervous and scared all weekend. This was her, curled up on top of me after I got back inside! Poor girl!

Saturday the 5th

Yesterday was a low-key day. I woke up feelings kind of sick so Freckles and I watched the World Cup games and then went on a Starbucks run! She was really happy to be going along, can't you tell! (The dress if Forever 21, the Kimono/Robe is NastyGal)


That brings us to.......

Sunday the 6th

Today is a pretty lazy day. I'm still kind of sick so I think I'll be doing a bunch of cleaning, and some more lounging around! 

Hope you all had a fun, safe, 4th!
