reading accessories.

i adore these bookmarks by the woman behind abby try again. i'm always stuffing stray receipts, train tickets, or chewing gum wrappers into my books as a page holder, or worse yet, dog-earing the pages, but if I had some of these lovely things my problem would be solved! check out more at her bigcartel online shop. i really want the whole set of fall colors.

Whenever I crave something sweet it always ends up with a pairing of fruit and chocolate. Always.

After a long day of walking in the most amazing city in the world (if you have to ask, we aren't friends) I was too tired to cook or shell out money for an overpriced meal, so this was my dinner three nights ago. I could not have been happier.

I'm pretending that it was a well balanced meal because the chocolate is organic (Mast Brothers goodness!), has hazelnuts in it, and of course green tea and a perfectly ripe peach are two of Mother Nature's greatest gifts.

Sometimes it is nice to throw formality out the window and just eat what I'm craving and forget about all the reasons why peaches and chocolate may not be the most appropriate dinner.

Because in all honesty, it rocked.

pictures that mean something.

stuff i like this second!

It's a bit dreary in New York City this morning, but I'm not letting the steel grey skies deter me from trekking down to Chelsea Market. Once I'm done soaking up all that beautiful smorgasbord of culinary goodness has to offer I'm hopping downtown through Washington Square Park to return to a bookstore that I discovered a few weeks ago on Crosby Street. Used books for a $1?...I can never stay way for too long.

Photos of my excursions are on the way :)

Recovering Lazyholic

Recovering Lazyholic is one of my favorite blogs, and creator Erin Hanson has done it again with her new series of Deep Bullshit posters. Clever and eerily similar to many of my lazy day thoughts, I couldn't choose just one or two that I loved so I decided to shove a bunch into one post. Check out the rest here.

lucky.

I constantly try to remind myself how lucky I am. One of the ways I do that is by photographing my experiences. When I return to a photograph I am immediately reminded of the time and place, and I am grateful that most of my life has been spent in beautiful situations. This week was exceptionally wonderful. All of my shots capture the essence of the moment at hand- the richness and depth that was present, the meaningful conversations, the love between friends and family. This was just one of those great weeks that are filled with wonderful people, lots of laughter, long lazy meals consisting of all my favorite foods, and breathtaking surroundings.

Need I say more?
