 🎵hyuok - 24: finding true love and happiness
📍the wing - flatiron

Currently: I'm holed up at The Wing's Flatiron location, it's raining outside, and I'm wearing a Patagonia sweater. It's the second week of September in New York and with 23 and a recent trip to California behind me, I unfortunately have to report that the blissful fall weather I anticipated is missing in action.

My roommate commented that she would start keeping track of the good vs bad weather days a year in New York, and if the bad outweighed the good it would be time to move. I'll let everyone know the verdict.

Despite this, I'm convinced that the radical New York weather (when it's hot it's unbearable and you can't wear anything that would make your sweat visible, when it's cold it's frigid and biting--also, bomb cyclone) makes the good days that much better?

Recently:

  • I just got the AmEx Platinum card because of its 100K bonus, Uber Credit, lounge access and have become one of those people who will not shut up about how great their credit card is.
  • Attended a NYFW show for designer Taoray Wang. No where as glamorous (lol hello we were in the 3rd row and my name on the guest-list was Angela-Guest-3) as it sounds but just being around during NYFW is soooo exciting. Street style photographers causing traffic jams, being shuttled into shows, the Evian water bottles! I think 15 year old me would cry. 
  • I'm thinking about doing a blog on all of The Wing's NY locations (and LA and SF once they open??) since so many people (like 3 of my friends) are asking about it. 
  • Just paid a $70 parking ticket I got in LA while buying an overpriced almond milk-cold brew-chocolate protein-cordyceps smoothie from Moon Juice. Poetic justice for my financial indulgence? 
  • Also really really into cooking/dining/food lately because I just finished Alice Water's biography.
  • My family's visiting in October and I'm pulling together an "Asian parent friendly" guide to NY eating. Will share. 
  • Eyeing these Moncler boots for winter. Also obsessed with browsing TheRealreal lately (Michelle if ur reading this can ur dad hook it up?? lol)
That's it so far. Here's filter-less September, in square format.
