beach time! yay! i love the beach - any kind even in new york!

to avoid getting burnt to a crisp or worse WRINKLES i wore this huge hat which i LOVE and want to wear everywhere now (but i don't).

could the beach possibly be a bit more crowded this summer because of these little guys?

wanted to bring emma but she kinda hates the heat and direct sun - baby doses for her.

simone's
i drink cappuccinos from time to time

vintage mexican dress

Long weekend at home:::

marigolds live by the front door in the sun for now

my contribution to thanksgiving (i sliced)

mom's new bead project... she is taking classes and making bracelets and necklaces

scout turned 2 this november. he is a full grown boy now.

but he can still scrunch into a pretzel to nap.

gOODiNTENTIONS

bugs bunny carrots and pretty dark greens rotting away in my fridge.

hornitos!

have you ever had? yum. made mojitos with hornitos at work today - crowd pleaser for sure! didn't know i liked tequila until today.

proally gained about 5 lbs in austin. i only ate food that looked like this. had the best veggie soft tacos EVER and the best salsa that i've ever tasted. i miss it already. mexican is 1 of my favs.

obsession:

just me:

getting cold out. and i love it.

opening ceremony with joe (not the guy in the middle).

my new blazer! its been collecting dust in my closet since may. spontaneously got it from zara when the sun first came out this spring. tried to hold out for a vintage one but i had to give up the impossible search.

checked out A.P.C too. click here if you want to cry like me. its surprising how quickly you can rationalize spending $700 on a coat that may not be super warm and $500 on ankle boots that may not last FOREVER. left empty handed but inspired for fall which kinda was the point.

went home for mom's birthday:)

she got carrot cake because it's my favorite.

and my aunt rasheedah was there visiting. she took me to mosque when i was little. wish i could remember!

and of course i hung out with my favorite dog. scout.

terry richardson

aka t-bone. saw his photos this week.

joe and i grabbed a bite in china town first. who gets soup when its 85 degrees out?

then back over to soho for the show

why would jen brill actually be here? and knowing she wouldn't be - why would i secretly (or not so secretly) keep looking for her and chloe in their "outfits" blending into the crowds of cute sweaty girls?

proally the best $15 i spent all june: lovely loafers (would have only spent $3 to $5 elsewhere but we all know how nyc thrift shop prices are LAME)

how was ever able to button this plaid shirt? maybe less falafel. 

i've been drinking huge cups of agua and moisturising like crazy... and i can FINALLY see a difference.

new jeans - they're just ok but i needed them so badly that i've been wearing them almost everyday.

looking for another pair to buy with the next pay check because i'm down to nada.

Another week of rain left with me with wasted tickets to Explosions In The Sky (you can listen here). i really needed to be to be at this show - so sad. so ok, on a less miserable, the constant rain and clouds make feel as if my life is slowly slipping away note - i saw alexa chung in the ele at work, ooooooooooo! lovely and very thin, like not there skinny but still lovely. she remains on my celebrity fashion crush list: here.

AND since i've been feeling so anti-sandal, i got new boots that i saw on freepeople.com but they are too dark and too big so i'm returning.

have you seen the series 16 and pregnant yet? Ekk, scary stuff - you will run for the hills. 

peonies are back and ready to be bought by me and live in my apartment. bought a bunch and spread them around 2 here, 3 there. my favorite flower of all time definitely or for now at least! then i went home for mother's day and saw what my lucky parents are greeted with everyday outside of their back door.

me - at home taking pictures of myself always

scout & my birks (my feet are 195 years old, have i told you that recently?)

we all made tacos - its was pretty fun. contemplating my own taco night.

and just to loop you in on my boring daily wear here are some pics from last week (sad for me, life is too short to be so boring looking but sometimes - like when it rains or is cloudy EVERY SINGLE DAY i just don't care).

its getting annoying how much i need new jeans. vintage shirt and japanese canvas sneaks.

wearing the hell out of this bag - but its 2nd, 3rd and 4th hand tho - will fall apart if i don't give it a break.
