Helloooo!

Welcome to my blog.  To get things started, a little bit about me...

I grew up in good ol' Oklahoma and graduated from Oklahoma State - Go Pokes! I moved to NYC shortly afterwards to follow my dreams of working in footwear.  Six years later I'm still here and working in product development in luxury men's footwear.  I live in the middle of Manhattan with my sweet husband, and I love the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple.  But, at the same time, getting away to relax, breathe fresh mountain air, and look at the stars is a must for my sanity!  Luckily, my husband has a little cabin on a pretty lake in upstate New York, which gives me the perfect balance between the city and the country.

My day-to-day postings will be about all of my experiences as I split my time in the big city and the tiny Catskill town.  You might find recommendations for world class restaurants or recipes for fish on the grill.  You might see a picture of me with designer Betsey Johnson or a picture of me holding a 16-inch rainbow trout.  And don't be surprised if I refer to my favorite resort in Barbados or the cutest bed and breakfast in Sullivan County.  I hope you enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

xo,
Ali

  2. Hey Ali, saw your update on FB about "Life in the City & the Sticks" and was intrigued by the title - very clever and suits you too.

    Can't wait to read about your latest adventures in NYC, the mountains or wherever the road takes you and Gino!
