I promise I will return to more posts about fashion and my life as a stylist, but lately, my life has been consumed with what’s been going on around me in NYC post-Sandy:
1 – Dents all over my car thanks to a tree falling on it during the superstorm Sandy — though after spending the past few days traveling through Brooklyn and visiting donation centers, I feel so lucky that the worst of the damage was only to my car.
2 – Trees down all over my neighborhood and some are blocking streets and sidewalks throughout Brooklyn.
3 – I organized a small sandwich-making party in my apartment this weekend to get friends to help us deliver food and other supplies to be sent from a hub in Sunset Park* to be sent out to The Rockaways and Breezy Point, which are areas that got hit pretty hard in the city.
4 – A beautiful view from Sunset Park, the highest point in Brooklyn, of the entire city. After seeing how resilient New Yorkers are and so many people chipping in for the recovery, I am prouder than ever to be a New Yorker.
