Wow was I over committed this week. I had 3 shoots, saw friends, had too many cocktails, too many deadlines and my apartment is in a full-blown state of chaos with dust and piles everywhere. But, thankfully we are nearing the end of all my apartment work for now and I cannot wait to start to see things come together more fully. Isn’t it amazing what a coat of paint can do!? Excited to show you guys more!

This weekend I’m looking forward to doing Friendsgiving and hopefully starting to put my apartment back together and get a bit more organized. 

I hope you enjoy this week’s roundup and have a wonderful weekend!

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• Did a little staycation at The Ludlow Hotel to shoot some upcoming campaigns while my apartment is worked on! 
• Got to meet up with my internet turned real life friend Jessica of An Indigo Day! She was visiting from Atlanta and we shot something together in my neighborhood that I’m excited to share!
• Finally went back to Bemelmans Bar – it is one of my all time favorite spots in NYC and I hadn’t been since they reopened this summer. It was so good to be back.
• I spoke for a class of Communications majors at Youngstown University in Ohio! I spoke about my work as an influencer, how I’ve built my brands and how I work on collaborations. It was fun to be back in a classroom – albeit virtually! 
• Ate one of my favorite burgers in the city at Au Cheval.
