Time for some holiday sweets. And some time to sit back, relax, and enjoy them...

Holiday!
I'm grateful for a day off tomorrow. On the agenda: New York and photo-taking. Trust me. They go really well together.

Au Revoir, Gourmet...
Monday's announcement of Condé Nast closing Gourmet magazine was truly sad news. Gourmet is such a staple in the magazine world and its richness is unparalleled.
The photography always made me want to do two things: eat and take photos. I'm off to browse through the website and hopefully archive some of the images. Which means soon I will be hungry and soon I will be picking up my camera.
Gourmet, you will be missed!
Keep Calm and Carry On
I've been debating whether or not to keep up this blog. I've been putting more time into Art. About. Town. and am consumed with all things art... nothing to complain about there!Yet I love the idea of a blog as a collage of all things pretty and inspiring, and so I think that's what i will continue to use this space as. Photos, design, food, etc.: all the things that bring happiness on a daily basis.
I will keep calm and carry on.

The Art of Transportation
These pieces of art are based on vintage New York subway posters. Part industrial; part nostalgic--I love the aesthetic and the thought behind this piece of work.

City Life
Thank you, Rain, for holding out! I was able to head to D.U.M.B.O. tonight with mon petit ami for the outdoor movie overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline. It was a gorgeous night.
Okay, so it was more about the bridge & skyline than the movie itself. But with some wine, some friends, and a whole lot of view, you can't blame me...

Outdoor Living
Why, yes! I would like (okay, love) an outdoor space. In fact, any of these would work out just fine, thank you very much.
Let the dreamin' continue.

Beach Effect
Ahhhhh.
The laziness of my week at the beach is still lingering and I'm feeling the full effects of summer. I know it won't be here for much longer, so I'm simply enjoying it while I can. I hope you are too!

Gone to the Beach
Will be back soon. One of these days. But that's what vacations are for--not quite knowing which day it actually is...

Brooklyn Heights
I had the privilege to work on a photoshoot for this home today--a renovated carriage house in Brooklyn Heights. It was was so functional, so quirky, and so spacious...really, such a joy to be in. I was with a wonderful team and was happy to be a part of the project!

Love. This. Room.
I especially like the bookshelf--the books are facing outwards, as if on display. And why not show off your books? They each become a little piece of art.

Breath of Fresh (Mountain) Air
Taking a little break in the mountains for a few days and feeling the full effects of R&R.
It. Is. Wonderful.

Etsy!
Etsy has quickly become a fabulous site to buy, sell, and simply browse all things handmade. I now have some of my original prints up for sale at my very own Etsy site, and I'm pretty darn excited about it. Feel free to check it out!

Small Style
This small* 60-square-foot kitchen was recently featured in House Beautiful and I absolutely adore it.
Refrigerator and freezer "drawers" were used instead of standard units and all the appliances appear to be a bit scaled down. The whole point is for the kitchen to be cozy and efficient. Mission accomplished. I love it. You can read the full article here.
*Small by House Beautiful standards; Large by my NYC kitchenette standards.

Brooklyn Bridge
I ran across the Brooklyn Bridge today for an early morning workout--I felt part of a huge, overwhelming, magnificent city.
My love for Brooklyn & NYC is constantly being renewed.

Blank Canvas
Great foundation; room for change... This is why I love eBay. I'm longing to bid on some (affordable!) pieces and give them an update--fresh paint, new upholstery.
If only I had the square-footage to actually keep them.

A Little Bit Rustic
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend full of family, friends, fireworks and--of course--food!
Here's what my fourth of July consisted of: a trip to the Farmer's Market followed by a picnic in the park.
Not bad for a city girl.

Avedon Fashion
Heading to the opening of Avedon Fashion: 1944-2000 at the International Center of Photography tonight, an exhibit of Richard Avedon's fashion portraits throughout the years.
Oh-so-thrilled!
...But not as thrilled to tell mon petit ami, "You know that photography exhibit we're going to? I forget to mention, it's a fashion exhibit."
Oops.

Gourmet on-the-go:
Well, well, well. This ice cream may be the best--I repeat, THE BEST--I have ever had. And guess where I found it?...
On the street!
Sounds strange, I know. But picture this: an ice cream truck (think kids buying 75-cent popsicles) meets gourmet delicacy (think natural ingredients, grown-up flavors, etc.). These add up to the perfect, perfect, perfect combination that is Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream.
So yes, this gourmet ice cream truck is back in town--making my neighborhood a very, very happy one.
