So I guess I should fill you all in a little about me and this blog, I am a New Yorker to the nth degree, but because of my job, I find myself living in the beautiful (seasonless) Southern California. I refuse to give up my New Yorker mentality and as the seasons change will lament how I am missing them. I am obsessed with all things preppy and my closet is filled with J.Crew, Ann Taylor, Kate Spade and Anthrolopogie. I love sports and I am definitely one of the guys, I relate to Robin Scherbatsky from How I Met Your Mother and Jenny MacArthur from the League, one of the boys, but not losing her identity as a kick ass woman.
So here's a little Q&A sesh about Headbands and Bagels:
Why did I choose Headbands and Bagels as the name of my blog? I am obsessed with everything Classic and Preppy and am constantly inspired by the city I grew up in. I love to shop, play and eat (bagels & pizza are not as good anywhere but NY - It's the water, trust me).
What are you going to blog about? Anything I am passionate about! I love TV, shopping, cooking and eating out, DIY activities (I promise to share some things I did for my recent wedding), travel, and surviving in a male dominated Engineering world. I may like science, but I still like to dress up to work everyday (Jeans are a usual outfit staple for 90% of our company).
What do you do in your free time? I am a recent newlywed, so I spend a lot of time with my hubby. That doesn't mean I don't get together with my girls and sisters on a regular basis. I am really active (but not skinny); I play company softball, kickball and dodgeball. I also watch way to much TV. It is my guilty pleasure.
You said you have sisters, were you in a sorority? Yes! I am a member of Chi Omega and still get together with my awesome sisters (we plan girls trips every other year). I am not a stereotypical sorority girl, but I love my sisters and all my babies.
I should also note that I have a baby sister who is also a Chi Omega. Guess it runs in the family.
Quickfire Time!
Guilty Pleasure: TV. My DVR is always full.

Anything else we should know? I am a die hard sports fan. I love my New York Yankees and NY Giants with a passion (it is where my New Yorker really comes out). I was an intern for the NY Yankees back in high school and college and will stand by them for life.

Lovely to meet you at the blogger brunch! I swear by Kate Spade cases too, although I've recently made the switch to the cardholder style. Let me take you to a Laker game, we can compare teams and phone cases :)
ReplyDeleteYou're on! That would be so fun. I have to say lets go Clippers right now!
DeleteNice meeting you at the brunch! Hopefully we can collaborate on a 30 day clothing challenge.
