vertically

July 12, 2016

We tend to travel horizontally, but sometimes we need to go vertically.  Part of life is going by a schedule, a daily routine but what do you do when you get bored? When you feel like it’s time to take a new direction? You take a step off your usual path and find something new, something different.

I’ve learned that while we’re young we should take advantages of all the opportunities that are put forth for us. They may not be right in front of you but with a little wandering and searching, they’ll find a way to you.  Now that I’ve graduated, I know never to settle for something that’s not making me happy or that’s not offering me what I deserve. With the days and months of being a little intern, I’ve learned a lot from those above me. I’ve also learned that those “above” you can teach you nothing.

My striped shirt gave me a little inspiration for this post, it being vertical lines instead of your typical horizontal lines. I paired it with some white shorts, a pair of heeled sandals, and a DIY necklace. I’ve been obsessed with chokers this few months so I decided to buy leather cording from Michael’s, measured it, cut it and viola, a necklace!  I’m not much of a DIY person unless it’s really simple but I’ve got an idea in my head and I’m hoping I can step out of my comfort zone to make it happen.

I've slacked a lot in the month of March. The weather has just been sucking and has been making me feel so uninspired and unmotivated. Well since I haven't posted in a while, here's some pictures from the other day! Oh and sassy picture for a sassy title, hehe. 
The day started with brunch at in LIC. The eggs benedict had sausage and some type of tomato. It was pretty tasty, minus the tomatoes since I'm not a tomato fan. Kyle got a man-mosa, which was beer which orange juice instead of champagne.  He said he should've just gotten a mimosa, girly drinks for the win! Kyle bought a groupon deal for MoMA PS1, and it was pretty interesting in there. The reflection art was so damn trippy, I stared at it for a good five minutes trying to figure out how? At first I thought the artist actually just put everything to create that a mirror effect, then I realized I saw a mirror, but then I wasn't sure if I saw a mirror or not. I don't know if that'll make any sense to you, but it was just trippy! Definitely want to go to MoMA next. For dinner we had reservations at Hakata Hot Pot. I've been wanting to try Japanese hot pot for a while, and decided to finally give it a try. The place was TINY. I know most St. Mark restaurants are tiny, but this was one of the tiniest I've ever stepped foot into. It's a little different from Chinese/Korean hot pot because you don't really choose side dishes to put in a pot, it's kind of a set dish, but it cooks in front of you in a hot pot. It seemed pretty healthy to me since there was a lot of cabbage and bean sprouts, but then I think the pork belly cancelled out the healthy. I'm not a huge cabbage or bean sprout fan but with the special sauce they gave us it was pretty yummy! After a few bites, you can add noodles and dumplings which was a good add-on. Can't end the night without dessert! I tried the creme brulee "dough'ssant" from Chikalicious and it was so so so good. That's all I have to say, so go try it for yourself. I'm actually craving it as we speak.
In a little over a week I'll be straight chilling in Dominican Republic and I simply cannot wait 8)
