Hot day gear

Hot day gear

We’ve had a few days of sunshine and breezes here in NYC but I checked the weather report and it’s going to be hot and sticky later this week. I’ve noticed that my mood is directly impacted by the weather. On a nice day I’m all “life is good, this is the best city in the world”. On a hot day I’m all “life sucks, why do I live in a concrete jungle?”. Still with a fresh frock like this one from Whit and some pretty pastel hightops you could weather any storm…at least until the lobby doors open…Otherwise stay home in your pjs and sit in front of the AC with a good book:

  1. Gidget Dress by Whit from Violet
  2. Aerobic wedge heel trainers from Top Shop in pale pink
  3. Bianca Vintage fedora by Eugenia Kim from Shopbop
  4. Marc By Marc Jacobs Petal to the metel flap pouchette from Shopbop
  5. Too hot to get dressed entirely? Stay home and read this book:  Chanel by Jacques Helleu
  6. And, take notes in these adorable DVF vintage collection notebooks

 

Pop: Lavender polish + what we did this weekend

June 18, 2012 1 Comment

Pop lavendar polish

Pop has some really fun neons and glitter polishes but this delicate Lavendar caught my eye the other day and I decided to give it a try. I love it!

We had a really lovely weekend. The last few weekends were spent traveling so being here in the city without tons of plans was nice. Friday night Dave and I went out to dinner at our favorite neighborhood restaurant and for a long rambling walk. The air was crisp and we wandered from our neighborhood all the way up to the upper eastside. If your eyes are open any neighborhood can be interesting and full of treasures. We’re always fascinated by how one neighborhood transitions into another. We were both born here in Manhattan but never seem to tire of it. What a truly magical city it is.

Saturday we spent the day in Central Park and Sunday we celebrated Father’s Day by taking a family stroll to the East Village and having a nice brunch. It was a leisurely and relaxing weekend.

We also managed to catch up on some work (though we never ever seem to finish—there’s always more). I’m making some changes to my workspace so that it’s more efficient and so that I have less piles of artwork all over! I’ll show you some photos when we’re done. Have a great start to your week.

The Fox is Black

The Fox is Black is one of my go to sources for intrigue and inspiration. It’s nice to get a peek at the other side of LA art and culture. I don’t care about Hollywood so it’s cool to see what artists, designers and thinkers are up to on the other coast.

I love the way Bobby thinks. It was so fun having breakfast with him and Kyle today at the Breslin.

If you want a summary of their aesthetic, go see the desktop wallpaper project.  Check out their interview series as well.

I’m loving this desktop wallpaper by Paul Windle and Ann Shen
