It's Finally Friday!

1. My December Birchbox came yesterday! So excited about the $50 Rent the Runway gift card, as I have a lot of parties coming up! 

2.  Last Friday was Z100's Jingle Ball and I was invited to attend the All Access Lounge, Concert and After Party. It was pretty awesome. Post to come!

3. This week I scored some last minute tickets to Jason Mraz at Madison Square Garden. If you haven't seen him live, you're missing out!

4. I also made myself a fabulous fruit salad!

5. Hurricane Sandy's damages are still effecting a lot of families. A group of us from work got together and volunteered our time, which is so little to what most have been doing, but it felt really good. People were very appreciative that we were there.

Glamour's Women of the Year

Every year Glamour magazine publishes a special Women of the Year issue. Along with the release of the issue, they hold an awards show at Carnegie Hall. This year, I was invited. 

When we walked up, the red carpet was spread out and photographers were swarming. I wasn't sure who was being honored, but while standing on line to get in, the amazing Anna Wintour was standing behind us. I tried not to freak out/take 100 pictures, but the fact that she was standing in the same line as me, was a surreal moment.  As we found our seats, the awards show began. Many of the winners were women most of us love. Lena Dunham was awarded with The Voice of a Generation award, Jenna Lyons (who I love) was awarded with The Fashion Original award and Annie Leibovitz with The Visionary award. The one that stood out the most to me was Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. She won the Lifesaver award for her Oscar winning Documentary called Saving Face, where she tells the story of women who have been attacked by their husbands with acid. When they presented her the award, she brought up one of the women she featured in the film. Everyone started crying as she spoke words of wisdom and strength. It was as amazing as it sounds.

On the way out, they handed us really great goodie bags, and I left feeling extremely empowered! Women really do have more power than we're given credit for.

Happy Friday!

1. This week I had a meeting at the Rolling Stone office. After what seemed like forever I was given a tour of their famous Hallway of covers. They have every cover from the first to the most recent. It was really cool! 

2.  I do not cook. Ever. So this week I learned how to make spaghetti. Lame I know, but an accomplishment for me.

3. I'd like to thank Details Magazine for putting this beautiful man on this month's cover.

4. In NY, there's always something going on. So when I found out about this free Q&A with Matt Damon and John Krasinski, I just had to go! The audience was able to interact with them and ask questions about their upcoming movie, Promised Land.

5. My girlfriends and I had dinner this week, and as I turned the page of the menu, this little guy was sitting there. It's fate.
