“Hello, my name is Anthony Bourdain and my new show ‘The Layover’ is even more legit since it appears my shirt was purchased on location, removed from its packaging, and put directly on my body.”
For me, the wrinkled shirt adds to his charm.

Nothing says ‘Classy Christmas’ like a fiber optic Santa.

Shopping Cart Showdown.
This indecisive Libra needs some help making a shopping decision…
I’ve been inspired to buy (I know, tis the season for giving…facepalm…I’m using a bday gift card, does that make it better?) a chambray shirt to wear with black leggings and tall boots, to casual down some frilly skirts, and possibly wear with super dark wash jeans. Or maybe to just get crazy and mix...

Holiday Decor: Le Bernardin style
Festive frosted twigs and……disco balls?
What once was old, is new again.
And here I thought the real Holiday decorations Chef Ripert referenced were the brown liquor bottles sparkling in the background.

Veterans Day.
I’m incredibly lucky to have the benefit of such brave men and women who fight for my country, freedom and ideals.
Words can not express the gratitude I feel towards you and your families for your brave and selfless service to our country.
Happy Veterans Day.
Carrier Classic.
The beginning of Basketball Season is always an electric time for Tar Heel fans. Especially this year, since it marks the close of a truly hellacious football experience.

It’s also incredibly nerve wracking.

Great teams carry great expectations and I hope they’re ready for an entire season of high quality basketball.

re: Internet S.O.S
Picture of the dress if that helps!
Late to the party? I desperately need silver strappy heels that aren’t prom, stripper, rhinestone crusted, or mixed with clear plastic as an accent.

Internet S.O.S
I need silver strappy heels to accompany a bridesmaid dress. Have you ever tried to shop for silver strappy heels? It’s like a freak show. Gross prom shoes followed by 17 inch stripper heels.
PLEASE, I beg of you! Help me find some decent silver strappy shoes.
Ideally I’d like to spend less than $50 since I don’t necessarily consider them a wardrobe staple (I’ve...
Nats game.
First game of the season…ahhhh, feels so good.
I was late thanks to work, but luckily a cold beer was waiting for me when I arrived thanks to my oh-so-thoughtful roomie.
We missed over half of the (ridiculously fast) game thanks to a snails pace line at Ben’s Chili Dog. Let me just tell you, all the salt built up from the long line completely melted once I took the first bite into...

Closing Thoughts.
You’re a fun team…have taken years off my life, but you’re a fun team.
Closing Thoughts.
I curse you during close games when I have no clue what you’re doing, I question what vault you think all the saved Time Outs are going to…but it’s all with love.
You always class the joint up Roy.

Thank you Marshall.

A Jersey Shore Tribute.
It’s been long enough now…I have accepted that our season has come to a close. But wow, what a great season of ups, downs and twists at every turn.
As the boys at the Shore would say: “I’m not mad at this at all.” Great season boys.
Real talk.
Shopping for Charity.
If you cared about the cause, like REALLY cared, why wouldn’t you forgo the purchase and send 100% of your money to the cause instead of 5-10%?
'Winning' Bach. Party: Friday - Sun Up
Landing in New Orleans to feel the warm dense-with-humidity air does something for your soul. We were alive at the first step. You’re greeted not only by the warm air, but also the sounds of New Orleans Cajun music and the smells of well spiced seafood.
One airport meet up with three other girls, a cab ride with a true creole local (understood roughly half of what he said), and a quick...
'Winning' Bach. Party: Summary
Y’all…I can’t even sum up how much fun this past weekend was. 7 girls (btw, perfect size for a bach party) hit the bayou’ for one awesome time.
We threw beads, consumed many a bevie, laughed until we were very literally sore and ate some fantastic food just for starters.
Dearest New Orleans, you are an EPIC location for a bachelorette party. You have my heart!
Dear 'the 80's': Eat your heart out.
This little FIBER OPTIC diddy is on it’s way to me right now in preparation for what is certainly going to be an epic bachelorette weekend. Watch out San Diego.
GPOYW.
That’s me and my tongue @ PatO’s.
I can’t wait to tell y’all about the ridiculous NOLA bachelorette party weekend I just returned from.
Really?
My work life is pretty crazy right now. I have a ton on my plate and I’m dishing out projects left and right. I just sent an email with a cheesy joke to try to lighten the mood.
Seriously, Leah? Seriously?
This is my life.
Lesson Learned.
It’s important for you to keep up with your friends love situations so you don’t have to put your foot in the mouth.
While trying to plan a weekend trip to DC for Subject 1’s bday, a summer beach trip came up for discussion. Subject 1 asked whether this would be a ‘couples-type’ of weekend (she believes she’s the last single girl left on the face of the planet...

Bachelorette party this coming weekend in New Orleans. Small group of 7, lots of fun girls. We have most of our plans (Hotel in the FQ, Commanders Palace brunch, ACME oyster house dinner, UNC tourney viewing, Pat O’Brians, Cats Meow, Hotel Monteleone for drinks, Cafe DuMonde etc.)
Any suggestions from the tumblr world of things we should add to the itinerary?

Weekend Plans.
Friday: An evening with my babe.
Saturday: Trip to the museum (on a groupon) with my roomie to soak up some knowledge. Any suggestions or advice?
Saturday night: Out on the town with the roomies. Watch out G’town.
Sunday: Packing (blech) and a drive back to NC for the week. Dinner and Superbowl watching with the rents. High possibility that I’m asleep by halftime. Sorry Fergie.
Heads Carolina, tails California.

My blood pressure, our team’s turnover ratio, and the probability that I will lose my voice after every game are all greatly decreasing based on today’s news.
My take: He’s not starting for a reason. That being said, he has the right to do what he needs to do in order to be happy. I thought he made some good improvements over the season, but facts are facts…you’re...
House Dinner.
We have close friends that live two blocks away. We hang out every weekend, see each other during the week and decided that even those instances were not enough. The answer? We organized a house dinner, a T-St. block party if you will. Their house of 4 girls and our house of 4 girls get together on a weeknight once or twice a month and share a meal, chit chattery, cocktails, and games.
We swap...
Real talk.
Not that I’m at all involved in this, but this Facebook status was my tipping point.
Note to all: Stop spewing forth passive aggressive bullshit on Facebook. We’re adults, it’s pointless, and you look silly.
Just stop.
