My Top 5 NYC Instagrams

Times-Sqaure-New-Years-Eve

August marks my 4th Anniversary as a resident of Manhattan and I’m hoping for many more years here in the Big Apple. So in honor of the city that I’m proud to call home, I’ve put together a collection of my favorite Instagrams that best describe my magical NYC experience. I’m also obsessed with Instagram so be sure to follow me! Above is a photo of Times Square last New Year’s Eve just when the clock struck midnight.

Socialites in Sepia

Friends always make friends feel beautiful.  Amy and I kicked off the weekend with another one of our famous socialite photo shoots.  It came out so well that I had to share it with the world.  Even as 20-somethings living in New York City, I guess you never really stop playing dress up.

Hats off to us!

We Should Have Been Models

Spontaneous photo shoots are good for the soul.  They can be done alone, with a friend, or in a group.  If you’re having an insanely bad day or an insanely good day, they are the perfect pastime to use as a means of rediscovering your inner model.  On a bad day, however, your photos may be a little more artistic and emo in reflection of your mood.  My friend Amy and I rediscovered our inner models over the weekend and it was a beautiful thing!

Taking casual photos also serves as great practice for being photographed by the paparazzi.  Every socialite has to be comfortable around multiple cameras.  This particular photo shoot is so Zooey Deschanel meets Rachel McAdams.  Like Cher epically reminded us in the movie Clueless which is required socialite viewing, you can’t trust mirrors so you always need to take a picture of that day’s look.  Thanks to digital photography, you don’t have to use polaroids like they did for instant photo gratification in 1995.  These photos were taken on Photo Booth software which only further brings out the magic of Apple technology even more.  Maybe next time we’ll dig up a Cher style polaroid camera for the sake of nostalgia.
