saturday morning musings.

Wrote a story this morning, based off these flowers. They smelled so incredibly good, and it made me wonder why all things that are in the process of dying can't smell as good. Now, I'm off to the city to work on a freelance project.
Ta-ta!

love you, mean it.

I spent Friday writing in the East Village, before heading out to celebrate my friend Annie's birthday. Annie, thank gawd you're back from Argentina, NYC wasn't the same without you! While I was out celebrating, I had the pleasure of hanging out with two contributors to this site, such awesome ladies.
Also, I want this outfit SO badly. Purple is the new awesome. But it for me, puhlease?

lady barrow's tours of europe are for book lovers.

Worked in Carroll Gardens yesterday, and I'm still dreaming of going on a trip with Lady Barrow, want to join?
Also, these made me smile, and as did this. And, for a slow, sultry song that totally matches today, listen to this.

working in ass-toria.

Hung out in Astoria yesterday with my friend Devi, sipping cawfees, making Indian food, watching Indian movies and of course writing.
Check out this and this, for some smiles & inspiration. That first link is SO good.

the work day, in the BK.

Inside writing, meeting up with friends and talking future plans and loving this site my friend Luke pointed out to me.
So so so good, and very Luke.

birthday part 2 (into the weekend we go!)

Walks around Beacon NY with Einav. The whole day was full of smiles and laughter and small town charm.

27th birthday, part 1.

I'm back from my birthday adventures, one year older and full of great memories. Woke up early, opened packages from my mom & aunt, then met up with my friend Einav for a full day of upstate fun. We took the train to Beacon, Ny, ate delicious sandwiches, gazed at art at Dia:Beacon, and wrote stories on the train ride back to the city...so good.

birthday girl.

Today, I'm skipping "work" and heading up the Hudson to DIA:Beacon to celebrate my bday with my friend Einav! Can't wait for all the art and small town homeyness and the magic of feeling 27 to hit me! If you need me I'll be celebrating, check back manana.
xx.

writing in Harlem.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of heading up to Harlem to work at my friend Artem's start-up company. The boys were kind enough to invite me over while I was working on some ad stuff for them AND feed me one of the best meals I'll have all month. They actually have their own private chef! The food was delicious, as was the company. And, today I'm off to get my hair cut for the first time in 4.5 months, w00t!

things I'm loving.

It's my birthday week! And, I've been noticing that I'm surrounded by some truly lovely things...good books, good letters, and good music - what more could a girl want for her bday?
Also, I'm loving those dolls up here. (scroll down about 3-4 images)
