Setting the Mood: Make It Rain

By Kirsten|March 31st, 2014|Setting the Mood|

Without a doubt New Yorkers are some of the most intelligent and interesting people on the entire planet and yet all we can seem to talk about is the weather. Like yesterday for instance, what the hell was that? Thunder and flurries? Perhaps we harp on it because it is one thing all of us share no matter our occupations or backgrounds or it could be the fact that all weather, whether heatwaves, snowstorms, or torrential downpours seem to be more extreme when experienced in the city. In any case, today is the last day before April and though the icy temperatures have started to break (kind of) we always seem to forget that we are now set for another month of miserable grey skies and sloppy street puddles before real spring sets in. So, brace yourselves and get weather ready with some storm essentials. This is not a test.

Seeting the Mood: Flower Power

By Kirsten|May 7th, 2012|Setting the Mood|

Are we done? Are we done with those April showers? Cause you’ve been awfully temperamental this year, Ms. Nature. I don’t really know what your problem is, but it’s May and you promised flowers. And I’m going to hold you to that.

What girl doesn’t like receiving or at least admiring fresh flowers? The answer is a cold hearted one. Remember when Lady Malks, taught us what our favorite flowers said about us? I think there’s a lot to be said about your taste in flora and fauna. Granted, I’ve rarely met a flower I didn’t like. Although there are a few flowers that I just can not (will not) tolerate. Carnations and gerber daisies – the cantaloupe of flowers. Why don’t you just send me an Edible Arrangement?

Well, anyway, flowers aren’t just for sniffing anymore. This year, there’s a plethora of ways to wear your florals, having you looking fresh as a flower (not a daisy).
