Tuesday Tunes: I Love Ameri-cuh and NYC

It's hard to believe that the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, a field in Pennsylvania and countless Americans were forever changed eleven years ago today.  I remember it like it was yesterday, and I never could have imagined that I would be living in this great city six years later. These songs always remind me of how proud I am to be a New Yorker, to be an American and of that day.  Also, there was a touching article yesterday in Forbes magazine, Fifty Important Lessons New York Taught Me,  that can be applied to just about anyone, click here to read.

America by Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel 

New York State of Mind by Billy Joel

Fire & Rain by James Taylor

Overcome by LIVE (I listened to this on repeat for weeks after 9/11/01, warning its a tearjerker)

Empire State of Mind by Alicia Keys and Jay-Z (obvi)

I'm Proud to be an American by Toby Keith

NYFW: Fancy Footwork

Any day of the week, the streets of NYC are a fashionistas very own catwalk.  But today, with Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in full swing, celebrities, editors, buyers, bloggers, and stylists flocked specifically to Lincoln Center in their Sunday best and we were there to take it all in.  With so many people, it was evident that visitors were doing their best to stand out in the crowd but it was the shoes that really stole the show.  Here's a peek at the NYFW Lincoln Center runway at Tracy Reese and DVF.

Tuesday Tunes: Loosin' Up the Ears for Lolla

What's better than thousands of sweaty people jumping around for twelve hours to blaring music?  Nothing!!  We're heading to Lollapalooza in Chicago this weekend, and I could not be more excited!!! Here are some of the tunes I'm most looking forward to hearing.  Turn them on throughout the weekend if you want to have a piece of the fun.  Since I'm double excited, it's double the fun with ten songs instead of five.

2) Right Thing To Do by Sbtrkt (ft. Jessie Ware)

3) Take a Walk by Passion Pit

4) Lost in my Mind by The Head and the Heart
