The Business

At 1:30, I am…

Sydney Oh
Fashion PR, New York

…heading to Montauk for a weekend with Alternative Apparel! So pumped for activities like yoga, paddle boarding, spa treatments, biking, karaoke, DIY projects and much-needed relaxation.

Lindsey Jacobs
VIP Services, Los Angeles (almost New York!)

…moving to New York! Two HUGE suitcases and 17 pairs of shoes later I feel like the typical twentysomething year old moving from the hills to the city. As Carrie Bradshaw once said, ” Girls move to New York in search for the two L’s.”  I, like Carrie, have discovered my love for labels at an early age working at the Starworks LA office- the other L, to be continued….

… desperately trying to get everything done before I go away to Ibiza on Monday, woo hoo! First point of call after getting home is  to go for a run, I need to get this body bikini fit in exactly 4 days (mental note to start earlier next year!). Half an hour later and following a series of heart palpitations it’s time to pack- does simply throwing anything remotely summer-y into a case count? Let the countdown begin, two days and I’ll be off on that plane with two girlfriends for a serious weekend of fun. Adios Starworks Family, until the 16th, I’ll send you a postcard.

At 1:30 today, instead of attempting to avoid ‘carmageddon’, I am driving to Malibu with my twin sister to pick up our friend for her birthday. We are going to Las Vegas to watch my friend Ronnie’s band, Big Talk, play their first show. Check them out! They are baller.

This weekend I am celebrating a friend’s 30th birthday and a group of us are driving up to Indian Head Canoes on the borders of NY, PA and NJ to stay at an “Adirondack-Style Deluxe Cabin” until Sunday evening. We will embark on a Delaware River rafting adventure nestled between the lush forest mountains of the Poconos and Catskills.  We will pack our swimsuits, bug spray, some music and a cooler full of booze for the day.  Can’t wait to be one with nature!

 

Summer Fridays: At 1:30, I am…

Every week, we are checking in with 3 of our colleagues from each office about their plans when they head out on Summer Fridays…from NY to LA to London!

NEW YORK

…going straight to my garage to pick up my car and drive out to Upper Black Eddy in Buck’s County, PA. I am staying with friends at their country house which is on 3 beautiful acres. Over the weekend we will play with the dogs, play golf, go for runs and bike rides and maybe even some tubing on the Delaware. On Sunday, I will definitely take a quick jaunt to nearby Lambertville, to check out some of my favorite mid-century modern furniture stores there.

Sharon Ainsberg- Partner and all-around cool chick!

LOS ANGELES

…heading to Kate Somerville on Melrose Place. Their treatments and products are my favorite- I’m completely obsessed! Later, I’m driving down to Laguna Beach to celebrate a friend’s birthday. I’ve only been there once since I’ve lived in LA but I love it there. Beautiful beaches and a charming downtown make for a fun weekend and a great quick getaway.

LONDON

…going to have a picnic lunch with my good friend Emilio Pimentel Reid Style Editor of ELLE Decoration. Only it’s raining in London right now so we’ll most likely be heading indoors. Oh, the joys of the British ‘summer’!
