And the Living is Hot

It's really really hot outside (and inside my apartment). That is all.

And the Living is Easy

My first NYC experience was a hot summer weekend spent running around doing touristy things. My second was an even hotter summer weekend spent doing less touristy things. Now that I live here, there's something comfortable about New York in the summer. It feels simultaneously more like an place I am visiting and more like home. My favorite part is that there is so much going on that weekends can turn into a mini summer vacation: hot, dirty and full of adventures.

Ease

This skirt is probably one of the most worn articles of clothing in my closet. Dressed up, dressed down, cold weather, warm weather. I feel like there is some sort of merit in buying pieces that you can wear time and time again, that never feel old or exhausted.

In Transit

Lately, I've been neglecting the whole "record my life in pretty pictures so I can show the internet" thing. But not because I am bored with it or have no interesting content ideas, but because I'm enjoying the moments I'm living so much and living way more of them lately. I have found time to take a few instagram photos along the way, quick photos taken in transit too or from a place. So much of time here is spent getting somewhere else, and these photos are a reminder that sometimes that's when you see the most beautiful things.

Color, Pattern, Doors

Somethings start with a dream, a wild idea that you had once and think about constantly and finally get motivated to act on. Last weekend my roommate Allison and I did just that. We painted the doors of our apartment. Not without struggle though. For those of you not in the city, temperatures on Memorial Day weekend were the hottest they have been all year: 90 degrees and sunny with high humidity. Being proper New Yorkers living in an older apartment, we don't have air conditioning, nor did we have any fans yet. We were sorely unprepared for this sudden spike in temperatures. Unwilling to let that stop us, we sweated through our project with sheer will and determination. And it was definitely worth it.

Oh, and of course my door is in repeat.
