two inspiring food videos i watched today...
the first is from williamsburg's farm-to-table breakfast spot, egg. incidentally, it's where my husband and i shared our first meal as a married couple (along with family & friends).


the second is a brilliant and beautiful alternative to produce storage from korean designer, jihyun ryou.


enjoy! x

a few shots from our recent trip to nyc...

sunday "dinner" with aunt mary in ct.

a trip to bird, w'burg.

i think i've found the best affordable florist in the city. he's on 9th ave (between 51st & 52nd) & does wonders with ranunculus.

ate lots of good food: pho (at cha pa's) & brunch (at five leaves)...

and dessert (at momofuku milk bar).

junky jewelry in hell's kitchen & a stroll thru the old 'hood (williamsburg).

shadows & reflections at marc jacobs

funky mosaics: east village optometrist & dolly parton bathroom (at vinyl).

pink brooklyn sunsets...

fluorescent hay bails at rodarte. waiting to interview the mulleavy sisters (who are chatting with miss tavi).

good sunday morning, brooklyn.

i am such a zombie today. we got up suuuper early to catch a flight to new york this morning. we've been dealing with lots of ice & snow lately (snowpocalypse, anyone??!) and left early enough to get to the airport safely. i am a nervous flyer anyway, but between the roads, the flight, launching my new online shop (!!!), and work, i've sort of been a ball of nerves the last few days. (ok, i've been a bit of a basketcase.) so, it was such a sweet and calming surprise to finally get to the loft we're staying at in brooklyn and see how amazing & welcoming it is. i really haven't missed the city since we've moved, but maybe i do a little now... i mean, one could get used to that view! sunsets in new york??? new york has a horizon??! who knew!? one could also get used to sitting in one's eames(ish) lounge chair, sipping on one's chock-full-of-nuts while one works... duhhhhh.
all right, i am obviously losing it... besides, we have peruvian food to order-in! yay!
