Sweet Sundays: Award Fun – Yay!

26 Dec, 2009  |  Uncategorized
Happy Sunday dahlings!

Fabulous Jen from The Dating Jungle bestowed upon me the lovely Happy 101 award!

Jen – a New Yorker transplanted in L.A. – blogs about her dating adventures & her career as a Hollywood writer! If you haven’t checked out her blog yet, be sure to head over there – ASAP! ;-) Heart you tons, Jen!!

Ze Rules:

  • Copy the award image in the post;
  • List 10 things that make you happy (try to do at least one of them for today); &
  • Tag 10 bloggers that brighten your day (those tagged should link back to Midtown Girl :)
10 things that make MG happy:

1. Sunday mornings with an extra strong cup of deli coffee & the NY Times Fashion & Style section (of which, in this Sunday’s paper, Lady Gaga is the main topic).

2. Midtown Pups kissies, every time I come back to my apt.

3. Writing about my bullshit dating life – whatever makes you dolls happy, lol!

4. My parents.

5. Filling up online shopping carts with stuff I absolutely love & THINK I NEED and then checking these online carts a week later to find out my items are sold out – Say NO to impulse buying (or at least I try to anyway..sheesh!).

6. Finally getting over my OCD complex of the “it’s so new & I’m scared to use it & ruin it” attitude I have (or had) with my designer bags/shoes/coats. What’s the point of having fabulush things if it just sits dormant in my closet… sooo ovah it.

7. My apt decor..I love it – howevz, I bought a reproduction of a french lighting fixture for my living room and now I want the small crystal chandelier I originally had my eye on…the bling is calling MG dammit!

8. I finally ordered a new pink iPod Nano (listed in my stocking post on Jaime’s wonderful stocking post series here) after losing my older Nano in my apt (still not sure wtf happened)..where are u UPS?!?

9. Still figuring out my NYE plans, but I am happy that I have a few options avail to me.

10. I am happy, more than you lovelies could know, that I have met/chatted/tweeted/blogged with sooo many amazing people since starting Midtown Girl.

I am uber-Happy 101 to have you dahlings in my life, on a daily basis!

Sunday kissies,

Sweet Sundays: Award Fun – Yay!

24 Oct, 2009  |  Uncategorized
Happy Sweet Sunday Bloggy Lovelies!!

I was given the lovely Kreativ Award by darling D of Dream Sequins & adorable PenPen of Penny Lane !!

Upon acceptance of this award, I have to list 7 things about myself…

7 Little Tidbits About MG:

I used to be obsessed with Bluefly. I’m talking – fantastically obsessed. I mean to the point where I would set my alarm clock (cell phone) to get up at the exact time Bluefly would update their daily inventory. Insane much? Thank god, I don’t do this anymore – it was completely effing up my internal clock. For shiz.

I have a weekly ice cream fix. Good thing Baskin Robbins’ is a 15 second walk from my apt. Mint Chip Double Oreo Cookie is my current fav but vanilla soft serve will suffice any day.

I am one of “those chicks” that carries her dog in her handbag while running errands. I carry Midtown Pups in my LV bc she loves it & So.Do.I.

Yea, I said it…now what? LOL!

I am a Foodie. Not only do I love trying out new types of cuisines, I have to try out a new restaurant at least once a month to get my foodie fix (or I’ll get the foodie-jitters). My current fav is David Burke Townhouse, of which I went to for the 1st time during NYC Restaurant Week (Resty Wk is one of my fav NYC events of the yr).

I am now a Lover of all things Vintage. In fact, I’m gonna do a post of my recent vintage buys. The Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show, which I went to about a wk ago, almost killed me. I’m relieved that I got there in the last hour, bc had I not, I would have been relegated to eating Barilla Protein pasta for the next 2 months. And as a Foodie, that would have been pure torture.

Btw – I am currently engaged to Vintage Givenchy. No wedding date has been set…as of yet.

I love, love, love Home Decor. I am still contemplating on being an apt owner rather than renter bc I want to paint my walls a light lilac with a cream trim…but I don’t want to waste my time doing so if the place isn’t mine!! And I am still looking for my dream mirrored coffee table to go with my fabulush couch & tufted wing chair….where are you dream coffee table?

Lastly & most importantly – I never start a project unless I know I will put my heart & soul into it.

Nothing is worth doing unless you are passionate about it. Nothing.


I pass this Kreativ award to the following AWESOME Bloggy -Buds:

Sunday kissies,

p.s. Don’t forget – the MG Bday Giveaway ends tonight @ 12 Midnight EST!!! Enter HERE to win a $100 F21 Gift Certificate!

The lucky winner will be announced tomorrow - XOXO

Deer Award from a Dear Friend;-)

2 Aug, 2009  |  Uncategorized
Why does it take me forever to post some things up?!?!

This lovely & ‘deer’ award was given to me a while back by the wonderfully honest and forthright blogger JustJen! You guys have to read her latest post – real life folks!

Deer Cupcake Award

The Rules: Respond and rework. Answer the questions on your blog, replace one question you dislike with a question of your own invention, and add one additional question.

What is your current obsession? My new pink Blackberry – how did I live without one for so long..WTH.

Where are you right now? Bryant Park (they don’t call me Midtown Girl for nothin‘ folks!)

Do you nap a lot? What’s a nap? LOL – very rarely.

What’s one of your favorite movies? Pride & Prejudice. I heart anything with Keira Knightly.

What’s one thing you’re looking forward to? Hopefully finishing a very exciting project I have in the works…shhh!

Who was your childhood crush? Joey McIntyre from NKOTB (stop laughing).

What is your current favorite Song? Waking up in Vegas – Katy Perry.

What person has inspired you the most! Unequivocally, my mother. She is the most amazing, dedicated, tenacious person I know & I am who I am bc of her greatness. XOXO Mommy!

What in life are you waiting on? Nothing! I make my own choices in life & work the paths that occur, accordingly (yup-yup!)

What is your favorite thing to do on a weekend night? Walking midtown pups while on an evening coffee run to the corner deli.

Why did you start your blog? I wanted to share my online dating stories with those who could relate/give advice/laugh with & learn from my experiences of dating & being single in Manhattan.

If money was not an issue, what is one thing you would purchase for yourself? A condo/co-op in a lux high-rise on Madison Ave. (A girl can dream, can’t she…)

I tag: all of my dear (deer) readers whom I look forward to hearing from and reading about on a daily basis… you guys rock my bloggay world..for shiz.

Have a wonderful Monday!

kissies,

p.s. – I still have to do P.A.P. & Otin’s wonderful awards – luv you guys!
