one of my favorite things in life is making goofy evite invitations. i think this particular one for my mom's upcoming shindig is a gem. :)

p.s. we just returned from a week-long trip to the motherland (a.k.a. new york city). it was wonderful. you can see pics from the journey on my instagram feed (i'm 'bauwau'). x

this is from my instagram feed (@bauwau). i finally enlarged a pic of the manhattan skyline that we took (via greenpoint) for our wedding invitation suite. got the idea via a desert fete long ago. just need to hang it.
anyhoo... gettin' on a jet plane and headin' to ny early tomorrow morn. haven't been in a full year. plans: eat luke's lobster. get haircut (for first time since last feb). see a few shows. eat good sushi (can not wait). eat yummy ramen. eat eat eat. see friends (yay!). go to the park. visit the met. visit the moma. visit shops galore... can't wait. xx

p.s. i absolutely can't shake m.i.a.'s born free, featuring suicide's martin rev. such a good song.

p.p.s. did i mention i haven't packed yet? it's 9:37pm. i leave the house at 5:45am. ...

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).

yesterday...

we stopped by creatures of comfort (finally!) & chatted with the sweet sisters of duo.
