NYC Adventures: Lower East Side with Sarah

February 28, 2013 by findingpaola

Two fantastic days. One week. Barrels of fun, inspiration, and pure LOVE! I was able to reconnect with one of the first faces I met when I first moved to New York recently. I never know how I lose touch with people, but it happens, but I’m learning to realize that we always reconnect no matter how slim the chances. I spent an amazing Wednesday night with Sarah at her job in the Lower East Side right at the end […]

2013: The year of the sparkles, kisses, and fire!

January 3, 2013 by findingpaola

It’s 2013! Although many might think of it as the year of the Hamster, it’s really the year of Sparkles. The year where possibilities are endless. The year where the true meaning of family, success, happiness, health, and love stands. At least according to the note cards I filled out with colorful pencils before everyone showed up. And based on the way my party turned out, I will also add that it’s a year a long, meaningful friendship. […]

Quality time

May 15, 2012 by findingpaola

I knew Mother’s Day was going to be epic from the way the day started. I overslept so I knew I was already running late. I got dressed rapidly, barely thinking about what I was going to wear. I grabbed a burgundy sheer dress I purchased for the fall last year from my closet and threw it on. I really love clothes I can just wear throughout many seasons. I decided to pair it with light colored belt and shoes since the dress is already […]

red hat, red lips

We know it’s spring, but the cold weather has not completely disappeared. Most days are cloudy, rainy, and/or extremely windy. It’s still safe to layer with a blazer and accessorize with different hats that normally wouldn’t be safe for the hot seasons. I’m actually loving it! Warm enough to show some legs, but cool enough to layer. I wore my favorite hat on Saturday to bring life to my otherwise very bland outfit on my way to a cinco de mayo fiesta. I also decided […]

Gwar! One crazy time.

May 2, 2012 by findingpaola

If you asked me what I did this past weekend… OK, even if you didn’t ask, I would tell you anyway. My boyfriend woke me up at the crack of dawn Saturday with one thing in mind– book sale! From the moment he picked me up the night before, he wouldn’t stop raving about how excited he was about this book fair where you can fill a brown bag with whatever books you find for just five dollars. He actually didn’t get me […]

Paolita Lolita

April 11, 2012 by findingpaola

I purchased this flag shirt for my brother a while ago, and I loved it so much, I bought one for myself. I really don’t mind wearing guys clothes if I like it. I originally bought it to wear with cutoff jeans shorts. I also pictured myself destroying it a bit, but I actually like the fit for now. This skirt was bought maybe in high school at one of the first flea markets I’ve been to in New York […]
