in a new york minute.

I love big cities but the speed, soot and intensity of New York always freaks me out a little bit when I see it after a long absence. Apparently, all I needed to get back in the swing of it all was an indulgent dessert and a window seat in a Soho coffee shop… Then again, cupcakes seem to solve most problems, don’t they? But I digress… I suppose what came of this photo diary were not the sirens, steel and concrete that seemingly define New York, but rather the pretty little corners of this chaotic city that are there if you just look for them…

May all of you carry your rose-colored glasses with you wherever your road takes you…
XOXO

say good morning to the night.

… the latest portraits filling my mood board… golden confetti showers, out-of-print books, mythical princesses, russian dolls, seas of cream-colored clouds, heirloom-inspired lingerie by Claire Pettibone, chandeliers strung from a ceiling of lavender silk, and everything washed in filmy pastels…
