Real Life Girl on the Train x MZ Wallace

Real Life Girl on the Train x MZ Wallace

PHOTOGRAPHY: AMANDA ELLE If you thought I was going to tell you that I’m an alcoholic that stalks people while riding the Metro North train, I’m not. Instead, I’m talking about MZ Wallace. Polar opposite I know, but trust me they relate. Plus, the truth is my life is way less dramatic than the movie anyway. Today, I’m going to give you a glimpse into my life as a commuter (aka real life girl on a train every day), and how MZ Wallace has saved me from becoming a real life hunchback of Notre Dame. It’s 7:52 a.m. and we’re waiting for the train.…

A New York City Perspective in the Eyes of a Westchester Girl

So you want to live, work or visit New York City? Today I’m offering you a New York City perspective in the eyes of a Westchester girl (aka me!). If you’re new here let me tell you a little bit about myself. I work in the Meatpacking district in NYC. I reside in Westchester County, in a town that is on average a 35 minute Metro North train ride to Grand Central. I’ve never lived in NYC, but I think about it often.
