The roof @ The Met





That's Jordan and I making a heart in the reflection of a giant heart statue. So creative! I just love the met. So much amazing art to see and the view on the roof is stellar!




Walking through Central Park on our way to The Met.

Celebrity Spotting in Central Park



Twas a lover-ly little ride through the park. Even more great was the fact we totally saw HEIDI KLUM with her kids in on our way into the park on Friday. We contimplated following her for a bit, but then Jordan and I decided we weren't complete creeps and we should probably move on with our lives. lol. She looked killer though. Better than on TV with both agreed. Project Runway here I come!

Anyone recognize the man behind me????? Cash prize for his name!!!




Taylor and I went for this tour type boat ride one day and this man and his mulitple secret service guys joined us. We can't figure out who this mystery man is... any thoughts?? let me know!!

Coney Island





What a good time! Angie and I started a dance party! Jordan showed off some special moves on his own before taking me out for a spin. It was a blast to say the least. There are some... um... unique people down on Coney Island, certainly not what I expected. It was fun to see and speculate, a very good people watching spot.




Vespa Rides Down Fifth

Jordan's good friend has a vespa, Jordan is basically in love with it. He's in constant consideration of buying one. So we took his friend's out for a little cruise. IT WAS LIFE CHANGING. So nice on a summer night to cruise down fifth and around our neighborhood. I totally fell in love with it! Hopefully Jordan gets one (wink wink) shhhh don't tell Mom though, she's anti!

In Brooklyn Again

We always have s good time walking across Brooklyn Bridge. It's gorgeous at sunset. There's a really cute little creamery right on the water on the brooklyn side and it lovely to enjoy ice cream on the water and look at downtown all lit up. These are pictures of our favorite mexican resturant that's over there. It's called Alma... its YUM!!!





Typical New York TImes...

Jersey Shore... east coast beach




John Mayer Colbie Calliat Concert







It was basically awesome. The venue was great, right on the water. Only thing that wasn't ideal was that it rained on us. BLA. Jordan and I came prepared though with blankets and umbrellas. We made a little tent and it turned out to be fun. Jordan even slow danced with me, to a Colbie song. Definately a great summer night!

Re-union Re-union Re-union union union!!!

I'm so excited!! I can't wait to see you guys!!! I miss my family! I totally love the reunions regardless, but being being away from everyone all summer has been rough. It's hard being across the country from everyone, althought I'm really glad we're all settled on the west coast. While I love Manhattan I'm really a west coast girl at heart and I can't wait to settle over there and be close to everyone!

I'm so looking forward to enjoying nature and good family time. I hope everyone is coming! See you soon!!!

ARRIVAL...



Classic Spenz!!!




Oh the babies!
















Sure love you all so much! I was so grateful for this reunion! I had such an amazing time visiting with everyone. I'm so lucky to have such wonderful brothers and sisters who inspire me so much! I talked to Trev a lot this reunion about how grateful we are for our family and how important it is to both of us to learn our family history so we can continue of tradtions when we have families of our own. I look forward to passing on stories to my future family!!!

Gossip Girl



A taste of my job...

I'm going through the inventory book and notice someone has checked out a lot of clothes in a recent order. When I look at the rented to... it says gossip girl clothes dept. UM TIGHT. There's no normal here in New York, Everyone I know has some stellar job... such successful, talented, smart people. It's amazing! I brush shoulder with some unreal people. I guess it's really true

If you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere!!!!

More date nights... its resturant week people!

So there's

Ruth Chris
Butter
Paperdella
Serendipity ...

We did a lot of eating this week!!! My favorite thing to do in NY. So during resturant week, a lot of places do a pre-fixed menu for a flat rate. It's great because you can go try things/place you might not normally. I LOVED IT. Big GIANT thanks to Jordan for taking me on so many great dinner dates!






Jordan's Birthday... 26 meets 21

Well this weekend we celebrated Jordan's bug 26. THE GOLDEN BDAY. We started on friday evein by meeting on the brooklyn bridge. We walked across at sunset, which in my opinion gives the most gorgeous city view of anywhere I've ever seen. On the brooklyn side we met up with a few friends. Two of Jordan's roomates and their dates. We went to a really good mexcian resturant called Alma we'd seen on Vanity Fair's "Summer in NY" list. It was great food and had a gorgeous view of downtown manhattan.



Then on saturday we had a few adventures. We started with brunch at good enough to eat. Which was killer... ew had strawberry pancakes with fresh strawberries and strawberry butter. lol. YUM! Then we went over to the Chelsea piers and hit a flew balls and the driving range. I learned something new... haha. We had the best coconut shrimp and the grill there, with pineapple sauce, again YUM.



After a little relaxation we got a dressed up for dinner reservations at La Esquina! This was my favorite part of the day. So we walk into the this little taco shop in soho and there's a lady in all black at this unmarked dark, we tell her our names and that we have reservations, she checks a clip board and says, "You can go ahead on down" as she reached for her walkie talkie. We go down some stairs and blank hallway and then get ushered through the actual kitchen and a few more turns to the resturant. It feels like we are in a spanish prison somewhere! Everything is all candle lit! We had some pretty divine food here too!!






Then there was b-day festivites. I had my room and decorated and I made a cake for Jordan. I sang for him too!! Then we opened presents and after we basically colasped of tiredness. All in all it was a pretty fabulous weekend!!!
