There’s no place like New York City, especially around the holidays. My boyfriend and I went for my Birthday (December 23rd), and Christmas Eve. There was so much to do and see, so we choose the top holiday spots, along with my some of my favorites. December 22, 2016 – Park Central Hotel We stayed at the Park Central Hotel in a premier room located in Midtown. It was convenient because it was three blocks from Central Park, about a half mile from Times Square, and located right between the upper east side and the upper west side. Times Square I’ve been to Times Square manyRead More →

When and why did you start blogging? During the fall of 2016, I created A Girl in LA to document my life working in fashion PR. I planned to write about what it was like working behind the scenes (not just the glamorous accepts of the job) and talk about the nitty-gritty aspects of a PR girl. A few months in I realized that I wanted to write about more than just that. What started out as a hobby was soon becoming something I could see myself doing as a full-time career. I gave my notice to the showroom I was working at and neverRead More →

In light of the leaked SCOTUS majority opinion draft that was published by Politico a few weeks ago, which essentially declares the overturning of Roe v. Wade, I couldn’t sit silent and not address this. A few years ago, I vividly remember discussing with others that a women’s right to choose could become a lot more complicated. Some disagreed with me and said that Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, (a 1992 decision that upheld Roe) were “settled law”. If Roe is overturned, it means the Supreme Court is saying that the decision should be left up to each individual state, undoing 49Read More →

After taking enough trips from my apartment in NYC to my family’s beach house in Connecticut, I’m finally satisfied with the way I pack my travel makeup case. For years, no matter where I was vacationing, I’d end up bringing way too many products. There were multiple nail polishes (just in case I felt like doing a manicure, of course I never did), a ton of eyeshadows in every color you can think of, and many other products. I finally realized that I would never use most of these, so I simplified my packing and stuck to the basics. Below is a list of theRead More →

Ever since Euphoria premiered in 2019, I’ve been obsessed. When season two was announced last fall, I was ecstatic—my Sunday night TV show was coming back after a long hiatus because of Covid! I had so many questions after season one’s ending and, of course, I re-watched it during the pandemic. Aside from the intense and realistic storylines that cover topics like drug addiction, sexuality, domestic violence and friendships (all involving teens)—the gritty drama stands out for its bold take on makeup and fashion choices. Recently, I watched a video where Euphoria’s makeup designer, Doniella Davy explained her thought process for creating the cast’s iconicRead More →

When I think of Y2K, I think of a much simpler time. Other than AOL there was no social media or streaming services. Communication was made via pagers and in the year 2000 I got my first cell phone (which was teal and by Nokia). I listened to music by going to the local mall and purchasing CDS or I downloaded songs on Napster and Limewire and made my own playlists. Friday nights that I didn’t spend at a football game or a house party, I spent hanging out at the mall. During this time, I transitioned away from my preppy Abecrombie & Fitch styleRead More →

When I was in my teens, I’d go into a shopping mall and stock up on fast fashion. I thought that spending $100 and getting multiple items was absolutely amazing. After years of wearing my new purchases once or twice and having them rip or shrink, I began to rethink my approach to shopping. In my early 20s, I transitioned away from fast fashion and into good quality clothing and accessories that would last a long time. For basic or trendy items that will be out of style the following season, I still shop at places like Zara and H&M because I value their quality.Read More →

Ever since I visited the Flour Shop and tried their famous Explosion cake, I’ve been obsessed with making one of my own. When A Girl in NYC (formally A Girl in LA) had its one-year anniversary, I went out and purchased all the ingredients to commemorate the occasion. Unfortunately, it looked a lot better than it tasted. Since then, I’ve made my fair share of cakes to celebrate Birthdays and just because. This has taught me, like with a lot of things, the more detailed the design, the more practice you’ll need. When looking for a recipe, I look for step-by-step instructions from mixing theRead More →
