Hurricane Sandy left us in the dark

Hurricane Sandy hit the tri-state area late night on Monday, Oct. 29th. Robert and I headed out early on Monday to get some things for the house. 

On our way out. 

The stores were pretty busy. 

Rain was coming down...not so hard though. The wind was picking up. 

Good ol' Smart Water to the rescue!

I made some chocolate cookies to pass the time. 

I decided to work out too!

When everything was said and done there wasn't too much damage. Our roof top door was ripped off its hinges. 

And we were left with no electricity, hot water or cell service. Robert walking up our 5 story building. 

Through it all though we are good to go! Robert and I have been playing cards by candle light and reading lots of books. 

Today, Wednesday, October 31st we rode our bikes up to 63rd/Lex to Equinox to take a hot shower! HA! #Makingitwork. 

We hope that all our friends on the east coast are doing good and are safe!

Love- Robert and ML

Work it!

It's Friday and today I completed week 5 of 8 #etc bootcamp @equinox. It's been a bit hard getting up when it's still dark. I ride my bike to the gym which takes about 10 minutes.



Feeling good! Came home hungry and made a whole wheat tortilla with nutella peanut butter with bananas. Yum!

FASHION'S NIGHT OUT= YEARS OFF YOUR LIFE

Last week marked the 4th year of Fashion Night Out. What started as a good idea...bringing people out to shop and boost the economy has turned in to a cluster F%*K situation. The streets are filled with 14-20 year girls who can't walk in heels and thugs who think they are fashion people all of which are going in and out of stores getting free booze and freaking out over anything free! I was down in Soho to go by the Vans store and Lacoste to support my co-worker Mr. Mickey. I could barely handle the crowd. I was standing by the bar and I watched a bartender hand 14 year old girl a drink like it was kool-aid. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Hello she definitely does not look like she's 18 not let alone 21.

Everyone agrees that it's no longer FNO it's FASHION NIGHTS IN....I just wonder how much longer this will last.

Ok...venting is done.

I Hart You- Wedding

This weekend Robert and I flew up (with Lola) to Syracuse for our friend Molly and Seth Hart's wedding!



Robert custom made Seth's tux. As well as the groomsmen's vest and ties.



What did i wear you ask? Well I did a wardrobe change from the church to the party so I wore TWO outfits!

First one: Bottega Veneta dress.


Second a Helmut Lang dress with Jimmy Choo shoes.









My man wore head to toe By Robert James of course.

Love!!

WEEK 7 #ETC

I'm on week 7 out of 8 for my #etc (boot camp) class. So far I've lost 6 lbs and my body fat is 17%. My trainer said that's on the lower end of what a 20 year old should be...I was like "Could you say that again!" We have one more week to go. I'm going to be sad to not be a part of a team but have made some good friends from the class. I'm going to keep the momentum up!

WEEK 4 OF BOOT CAMP COMPLETE!

Week 4 of #etc Equinox's boot camp is complete!! I'm starting to get in the habit of waking up early even on the days I don't have #etc. I tried to do this no carb diet this week...I don't suggest it. I got really weak and tired. So it's carbs in the day and not after 8. YEAH! I have lost 4 lbs but no body fat...not cute! I have 4 more weeks to go. I'm going to up the cardio. YAHOOOO!!

WORK IT: WEEK THREE

I joined this #etc boot camp at my gym and today I finished week three! I have 5 more weeks to go.  I've never been a "gym" type of person but I LOVE IT! There are 38 of us in the group and we meet every M/W/F from 7:15-8:15 am. It feels so good to be a part of a group of people who all have the same goals.

I'm not sure how much I've lost and to me it doesn't really matter. I feel super good, I'm getting up early and I'm addicted to working out! YEAH!! Here's to a fit and skinny body for the summer....LOVE!
