life, by Linley: Summer in the city

My first week back in the city has flown by! I started a new internship at KCD and I love it. As a PR intern, my main responsibilities involve the showroom and maintaining the samples and sending them out to magazines, celebrities, etc. Everyday is kind of like a reality tv show.....lots of big personalities, but it keeps my long days interesting. Unfortunately it rained almost everyday last week, so no outfit pics. I promise they will come!
One of the perks of working in Chelsea is eating lunch in Chelsea Market every day! I'm quite drawn to the Lobster Place's salads and soups, but I just discovered a pie place! I've only tried the Thai chicken curry one but it was delish!

Friday night, I went to a surprise party for my friend Tina! It was at Butter, but we ate quite late, so I got an appetizer and a side instead of an entree. I got crab cakes with potato gnocchi. And I tried some of Melisa's duck, which was really really good.

After the party, I wasn't feeling very good, so I planned on relaxing this weekend. Instead, I ended up having a lot of fun on Saturday with my friends! First, I met up with Joe and Johnny in WSP where we watched light saber fights, and a gang of little kids on skate boards (they were actually very good). Then David and Gian called, inviting us to go to Shake Shack with Gian's family visiting from the Philippines. The line wasn't too bad, but while we were waiting for the food, a thunderstorm passed by, leaving David and I stranded in the middle of the park, while everyone else ran under the trees. Afterwards, Gian's dad took us to Big Gay Ice Cream shop where I got a cinnamax ice cream sandwich (cinnamon ice cream and snickerdoodles).

And then I ended the weekend with an afternoon of shoe shopping! I found lots of deals thanks to the Memorial Day sales. Not exactly the beach weekend I was hoping for, but super fun nevertheless.
