Dose of my “Subway Mixing” Playlist
Today’s preview, Andrew McMahon “After the Fire”
I have to admit, when I found out C. Wonder was biting the dust I was really sad! It’s probably not healthy to have attachment issues with a store, but I really did love it. The colors.. patterns.. aw! It was one of those places that just made you happy walking into! Plus it was totally my go-to for gifts (when on sale of course).
Thanks to my always-on-it coworkers, we found out that on top of the store-closing deals the stores were also selling all of their props. At that point I wasn’t even sure what things would be on sale, but being that the decor was always on par with my eye for cuteness I knew I wanted in!
As soon as we walked in my eyes were set on these fabulous colorful prop suitcases. I didn’t really have any idea what I was going to do with them, but I knew I’d figure something out!
Living small on space, every thing in my apartment really needs to double with some sort of purpose (or just really be too cute not to have). I had a couple fun first ideas, but it turned out they might have to wait for a time when my apartment is a little bitter than 370 sq ft. For now, I decided to split up the two sizes I bought and go with the stacking side table options for now.
Another thing I really love about these suitcases too is they are indeed functional, so if I need some more storage space for my ever-growing sundress collection I have 5 suitcases waiting to be filled!
A little piece of C. Wonder will continue to live on in the Osgoodby casa!
It’s been a week! Between the weather, kitty adventures, and a full schedule I am ready for the weekend! Plus, guys, it’s my Birthday + Super Bowl weekend! To say the least, I’m looking forward to a fun weekend! Before we get there though he’s a look at some of my favorite links of the week.
- One of my favorite sweets stop is hosting a pop-up cafe in Madison Square Park this weekend. They’ll be serving up some seasonal favorites as well as some fun options including hot chocolate made from their famous cereal milk.
- The Post has reported that Citi Bike is coming on up, up to uptown! The program has been very popular in lower Manhattan and it’s exciting that the Upper East and West sides will hopefully be sharing the love soon! I’d totally love to take a bike for a ride around Central Park!
- The blizzard that wasn’t shutdown the city earlier this week and while we didn’t quite get the blizzard, the city was shutdown like we did. If you’ve ever wondered what an apocalyptic abandoned NYC looks like, here’s your chance.
- Girls’ night is right! Our favorite Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester, has announced she’ll be back in the city and it’s not for filming GG (Man, I do miss that show). This time around she’s taking the stage to sing! To be honest, I’m not really familiar with much of her music yet, but have to support our girl!
- Oh! Here’s another link I’m totally excited to have found this week! Racked released their list of “20 of the best Stationary Shops in New York City” Oh yeah! I LOVE me some good stationary and cards so you can bet I will be bookmarking this link for future adventures!
