Carlo and I had a nice Sunday in Ft. Greene with Jenny and Soren, first stop at the Brooklyn flea, which was packed. Jenny picked up some dresses and a nice bag, I picked up a portrait for the apartment. Then we went for corn and too many frozen margaritas at Habana Outpost...followed by a visit to Jen at Bonita. Back in my neighborhood we hung out on the rooftop with the neighbors and had late dinner at Lovely Day. Great company!

I really like Alyssa Norton's jewelry.

OAK is making markdowns....They just put out their second issue of their publication "oakazine". The art direction is cute, they hired some swedes to guest edit/design it but its not very original. Its like the urban outfitters copy of ACNE paper.

cute ring at steven alan. they also have nice vintage jewelry.

I pass by this shop all the time walking on Lafayette, and its so dark and intense that I find myself often intimidated. The funny thing is, I think this is one of the coolest stores in New York. Bess. It used to be a Keith Karing store but is now the home of Doug and Bess Abraham's amazing jewelry designs. He apparently is in charge of the Ralph Lauren jewelry collection, but you would never know bc this store is anything but waspy. Aside from the jewelry, they have vintage t-shirts, random posters and sculptures, and my favorite, their studded collection of jeans and shoes.They play good music too.

White Chukkas at Supreme ( along with red, blue, and black) on May 22nd. I like the red ones too.

Running out during lunch to the Steven Alan sample sale turned out to be a good idea....

Also today I was invited by Patricia from BobbleBee to meet some other bloggers including Jenny and Soren from Copenhagen Street Style and the host of the gathering, Craig from Altamiranyc. It was nice to meet you guys...

On sale at Nine West, the most comfortable shoes I've worn in a while. Get some!

I know Spring is here, but leave it to me to bid on this...

Just won these Vera napkins on Ebay...perfect for summer, after I get them washed a few times.

I finally found cushions for the chair, and on sale hehe...Muji had these pillow cases 70% off, although I had to buy the inside, but either way, I love animal print, and the khaki linen makes zebra a little more tolerable.


My bookcase isn't really a new addition, I've had it for like 2 months, but just wanted to share. I got in the Annex Flea Market in Chelsea on a Sunday afternoon. I like going around that time because the vendors just want to get rid of stuff at that point so they'll knock off a lot from the price. Sure you don't get first pick on things, but you get really good deals.

Tracy Feith is down the street from me, and I walk in there at least once a week just to see the colors. Especially with the never-ending cold. His dresses are spectacular, the fabrics, the color combinations. This guy knows his stuff, its strange we don't read much about him. His creative director came out in Vogue this month, and I met her at the store this weekend, so nice, and so freaking cool. Anyway. In the spirit of summer I'm going to try to get some T. F. Vibes in the apartment.

Acne Studios just opened up a shop in Soho, and I think these are quite nice. They have a pair of white shoes as well that are awesome, but I guess they sold out because they aren't for sale. Anyway. Acne always gets it right. and don't get me started on their publication....

My friend Kristia and I paid a visit to the Brooklyn Flea this weekend. It was packed, and a nice start, but I must agree with a few others about thehigh prices. I was totally broke, so couldn't buy anything regardless, but they did have some nice teacups with hand painted Chinese motifs that I was eyeing, the price was right, as well as some funky 1960s glasses that could've doubled as an alternative to champagne flutes. I will definitely be going back! Would love to have a table, but what would I sell???

Ryan McGinley opening tonight at 83 Grand, photos will be on display for the next month.

happy belated easter. I spent the weekend visiting my aunt and uncle in mt.laurel/cherry hill, NJ. We also took a drive around central Philadelphia, where Carlo had never been, so that fun. And amazing food! My cousin is a great cook...

I've been majorly procrastinating so here's a list of things I would like to get done in the apartment before summer. I know I've put things off, when I just received the notice if I want to renew my lease. Already!

1. paint my walls
2. set up a work area in my apartment
3. find some fun champagne flutes
4. upholster the cushions on my chair
5. find some nice stuff to hang on my walls
