Island Coral

Bright pink on a dreary day. A return to cold weather means a return to sweaters and scarves. I don't mind.

Spring Air

I managed to snap this shot last week when NYC was having absolutely perfect weather: slightly chilly in the mornings, but warming to a glorious sunny day. The cherry blossoms have arrived ahead of schedule and other flowering plants have followed suit, including this tree in my backyard. It's not just the plants though, this warm weather has caused the entire city to bloom. Even though the weather has gotten back to more normal March temps, people still seem lighter and more eager.

MIA

Promise I'm not dead. Here is photographic proof.... well I guess these could have been taken by anybody. You'll just have to trust me on this. Went to SoHo for shopping, sight seeing and last minute exploring. Here is some Marimekko fabric I can't afford. And I also found a place called Gatsby's across the street from a place called Firefly. :)

Most of my time has been spent in the basement print studio of my fancy new offices. I'm still working out how to fit in a social life and personal time around my work schedule (hence the scarce posts lately). Social life usually wins. I'm starting to see why New York is the city that never sleeps. // Sometimes I get sent on errands on beautiful days. The weather has been fantastic! 

Aforementioned social life has been mostly making new friends and going to bars and eating delicious food. I'm not complaining, it's been fun.

Lingering Autumn

As a designer and color lover, I am loving all the super-bright spring colors that are hitting the stores right now. A chance to deck yourself out in unusual colors? Count me in. I've bought a couple new pieces, but I'm having a hard time styling them. I can't seem to shake the lingering cold weather and these warm, caramel colors.

Settling

 A restaurant that only serves mac and cheese... otherwise known as heaven. I've yet to have a mediocre meal in this city. // McCarren Park! Scoping out my springtime haunts

Oh Williamsburg. You are ridiculous sometimes. // But you get bonus points for having murals of robots.

Palette

Maybe it's my new surroundings, but I've been feeling inspired to try some wacky color combinations lately, which is a nice change from the usual.
