hello friends! feels like it’s been ages since i’ve posted. truth is, work has been SUPER busy lately… so i’ve been spending my early mornings trying to catch up and my evenings passing out around my house (you know, face down on the floor right around 6:30). it was really nice to semi-unplug over this [...]

this january, husband and i made a trip to one of our most favorite cities to celebrate new year’s- nyc, of course. on one particularly cold and snowy day, we visited the american museum of natural history (night at the museum! say whaat!). he is more of a science person than me, but i still [...]

these images completely blow me away. they’re the work of rune guneriussen… and you can see many many more beautiful images on his website, here. contrary to what you may think, he actually creates all of these installations and photographs them. no photoshop stunts- just real life magic. i love how the lamps and books [...]

today, fantasy me is probably fantasizing about wandering around NYC, discovering fabulous new eateries, eating cupcakes, and wandering through art museums. real fantasy me is sitting in a nice, shady spot on my porch (my for real porch), hanging out with my new favorites: i would also be hanging out with this guy: and drinking [...]

happy spring! today i am dreaming about someday seeing this: tulip fields in holland. aren’t they amazing? can you believe that something like this exists? for real? my mother’s side of the family hails from holland- my grandmother’s dad actually came over on a boat and went through ellis island in NYC. my parents visited [...]

was a pretty great day. which means that two years ago, yesterday… i am so lucky to have someone who reminds me who i am. sometimes, i forget. enjoy some sunshine today, loves

ok ladies and germs! you can now own a little piece of jewelry to wear around your pretty neck (or gift to someone else? it is the holidays, you know) -handmade by yours truly. remember this? i made more! (2 are available, to be exact.) yes, it’s true! only $19, and $1 shipping- so $20 [...]

so, i love kate spade. everything the brand does is so completely beautiful and fabulous. can we talk about the windows and ad campaigns? let’s be serious. this is especially weird because i am typically a black-white-navy-grey-tan-brown type of person, and the kate spade look is pretty typified by insanely bright splashes of color: my [...]
