A Test Post for Nikki

by Nicole Desuasido


The Hamptons is everything you imagine it to be and these pictures make me want to go back already. Anywhere I spend seven days or more becomes like home and this trip to New York was very memorable. We had dinner in NYC the night before at Blue Hill-- one of my favorite restaurants and too bad they don't allow you to take pictures inside but I'd definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area. In Montauk, which is basically the furthest end of Long Island, I had breakfast every single morning at Joni's Cafe that consisted of a smoothie and a cinnamon raisin toast with cream cheese.

These photos are long overdue. I'm the queen of procrastination and need to step my blog game up. Just got back from New York and the Philippines not too long ago and didn't take a bunch of photos as I should have. I'll post soon but for the most part you can find them on instagram. I'm a newly vegetarian and have been going over a month strong. You can follow that adventure here. Other than that my hair has gotten 3 shades lighter than I like and will be correcting that this week. I haven't seen the gym or gone to yoga, so that too is on the to do more regularly list. And to save the trouble of emails-- the lipstick color above is impassioned by MAC and that is all my hair without extensions.

Vada Sultenfuss was my style icon growing up. When I was a kid, My Girl was always on repeat and I practically memorized this whole movie by heart. Generally, I've always been obsessed with my health and wellness-- possibly suffer from being a hypochondriac like her but I seem to get this way in the beginning of the year too. Currently on a juice cleanse and can't wait to tell you all about it. Will go into detail next time.

I'm officially off the blogging radar right now so it's better to catch me on instagram instead. I'm leaving to the Hamptons this Sunday and plan to make an effort to take lots of pictures for you all. Since I got back from New York in May, I've cut my hair above my shoulders at Di Pietro Todd Salon on Fillmore and got LASIK by Dr. Manche from the Stanford Eye Laser Center-- he is THE best. Recovery has been a bitch since I'm counting down the days to wear makeup again. I just feel so naked without it as bad as that sounds but partly because my face is dramatically lighter than my body just because I never tan it. Otherwise everything else is well. Still a vegetarian and still planning on keeping this blog up to date as much as possible. Possibly a major revamp in store.

FYI, this is a very delayed blog post. I'm not as consistent as I'd like to be on here but instagram and twitter are always better ways to follow me along . Anyway, I went to Twin Peaks and Marin Headlands with Alex and his dad one weekend in April. Got lucky to see the best views in SF with the weather so nice. Found this top at Zara that happened to match his favorite t-shirt. Together with our matching Tsovet's, I think we made a very cool bershon photo.

These photos are long overdue. Went to San Diego two weekends ago for Maria's bachelorette party. SFO's terminal 2 has the best food options for an airport. Stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel in the Gas Lamp District. Rushed and had no time to shop for the trip so I borrowed Rachael's top and wore it as a dress for one of the theme nights. Jumped around to a bunch of clubs and realized I haven't danced my butt off like that in forever. San Diego has a huge nightlife/party scene. Stingaree and Fluxx were probably my favorite ones. I'll admit I feel a tad old being out but since we were celebrating and for all those who ask about nightlife questions.. there you go. Had a massage and super fun spa day with the ladies. Took a Zumba class. Ate at La Puerta for some tasty Mexican food. I was on a roll with my health conscious/no alcohol diet but was sold on the sangria, chicken tacos, guacamole and chips and salsa. Oh, and the bike rides to get to/from each club were a fun highlight for some strange reason. Maybe bc it was a weird switch up from being used to taking a taxi. All in all it was an exhausting 2 days but very fun experience!

In Montauk, which is basically the furthest end of Long Island, I had breakfast every single morning at Joni's Cafe that consisted of a smoothie and a cinnamon raisin toast with cream cheese. We visited the oldest Lighthouse in New York, went kayaking, played miniature golf and spent days and nights inside the water and on the beach. However, the Surf Lodge is probably my highlight of the trip since there is nothing I don't like about it. The food, the decor, the vibe-- it's pretty much my kind of scene and wish we had a place like that nearby in SF. I didn't really do much shopping but East Hampton is the best spot for  that and another good place we ate at out there was Nick and Toni's. After 5 days of summering, we headed back to the city and had dinner at the lovely Waverly Inn. This too is another favorite of mine and after this vacation I really appreciated what the East Coast has to offer.
