Paper Lovin'

Recently, I had the pleasure to photograph the lovely little Park Slope paper store known as Paper Love. The store couldn't be brighter; the products couldn't be better. Park Slope is full of fantastic local businesses and this is certainly one of them. 

Now if you will excuse me, I need go write a hand-written letter or two...

Bread Alone

My Valentine's day was fabulously lazy. It included a trip to the Farmer's Market, some time at the library, and a walk in the park. And when I spotted this bread--locally made from a bakery called 'Bread Alone'--I couldn't help but snatch it up. The heart won me over! It was crisp, fresh, delicious, and something you don't often expect from bread... cute! 

I hope everyone had a charming Valentine's Day!

Brighten Up

My postings lately have been few and far between... yet there is a reason for it all. I am in the middle of moving to a new apartment and that has (quickly!) taken over my life. 

But in the vein of a new place, I thought I would showcase my new space: here is a little arrangement on my desk, which is nestled right by the window and is as cozy as can be. The flowers (thanks to mon petit ami!) really make this little spot interesting and dynamic. 

Now if only I could get him to bring me flowers every week...

A Taste of Home

Coconut cake. Homemade chocolate sauce. I cannot eat this creation (or even view this picture) and not think of my family. My grandmothers sure know how to make it; my grandfathers sure know how to eat it. And so this seemed to be the perfect post to honor my grandfather who passed away this Christmas. There was always a clean plate at the end of his meal--and especially at the end of dessert time. He has passed so many traits onto each generation of our family and one thing is for sure...we all got his sweet tooth. With each little treat, we will always think of him.

Happy Eating

Time for a little holiday break. Although the holidays can be full of travel and traffic, they can also be full of family and food. So I'm hoping to really focus on the fact that we can all come together--traffic and all--to celebrate and give thanks. May your Thanksgiving be full of good times and much too much food. Here's to happy eating!

Quiet City

The city is slowly getting more and more quiet... which I'm sure will soon be changed by the upcoming holidays. But for now, it's certainly a welcome calm.

Bake Away...

Feeling under the weather? (Answer for me: yes). The best thing to do is bake the day away. Pick something easy so you can sit back, relax, and smell the fruits of your (not too tough) labor.

Rise and Shine

Oh, how much better my day is when it starts with a leisurely (and pretty!) breakfast. It can be simple--as this one certainly is--but there is nothing wrong with simple pleasures.

Happy Colors

Here's what I'm loving right now: my new Vivienne Tam dress that is absolutely, positively bursting with colors. (And even better, it is absolutely, positively NOT breaking the bank since I snagged it at an outrageous sample sale!). It seems more like a canvas that is covered with bold paints than a simple silk dress...thus why I like it so much. I hung it up on my living room wall merely to take some photos of it, but I'll be leaving it up until I wear it. I know, I know--it's just a dress, but it comes across as a work of art! 

Have a colorful weekend!

Catching Up

I've been a bit behind on my blog this week due to an increasingly busy schedule. So today, I'm adding a couple extra posts to make up for the idle blogtivity (...blog activity=blogtivity...perhaps?). 

These are undoubtedly some of my favorite items. They happen to include an overflowing cup of Starbucks, a trusty notebook, and the new Domino Book of Decorating. The first item keeps me going for hours; the other items keep me entertained for hours. A perfect combination!
