Astoria Park
This is it. If you call the number to order tickets and mention my name, you’ll get a special discount.
Come on people - 3 hour open bar, dancing, exhibitions open, neat lighting (donated by Stortz Lighting), dessert from Baked by Melissa, and most of all: the feeling of doing good (while dancing the night away and celebrating my last event at MCNY!).
Please join me in saying goodbye.
After party details to follow for those that actually come through. . ;)
Today’s Thrift Store Find (sort of!): Jill Stuart Cocktail Dress
This dress was featured in Coach’s 65th Anniversary book (styling by Angela Hastings, who I had the fortune of meeting at Astoria Market!). Thank you Angela, I won’t ever regret this purchase!

My dear sweet friend Chelsea has some pipes and writing skills that I am now officially addicted to.
HEY! Check out this new song I made.
Today’s Thrift Store Find:
80’s formal dress - just in time for the new year- $180
I stumbled upon Antoinette - who was having a little holiday sale (everything in the store was 10% off). This little number was on the mannequin in the window.
Lexie, who runs the store, sells all pieces that belonged to her mother and aunt. This place is NOT to be missed. More to come from this store very soon.
Lexie, I’ll be back to raid the cocktail dresses in no time.
In this moment: I am happy.
Not just because I am staring down at white puffy clouds from 30,000 feet (the skyline leaves me breathless every time).
I just wept silently, for my heart is brimming with joy.
I have done it.
I moved. I survived. I’m living. I’m working.
I’m doing what I came here to do. Rising above it all forces perspective. I am humbled by this elevation. I am beyond grateful: for the support that got me here, the experiences I’ve had, and the friends that surround me.
I feel with no regret:
Every experience, every mistake, every misstep, every late night, every tear, every effort I’ve made has led me here - Right to this moment.
I could fall asleep and never wake up, but I’d fall asleep with a smile on my face.
What beauty there is in this feeling.
I don’t want to lay down - settle - rest. I’m hungry for more. I’ll push myself farther. I know something big is coming.
I’m ready for it. I’ll work hard for it. And, even if I don’t move beyond this state of being, I’ll be content to feel this way indefinitely.
I don’t want to waste a single second of this. I’m ready for the next page.
