sidewalk art

These little reminders were written all over the sidewalk in my neighborhood last week. I know they made at least one person smile. Such an unexpected way of being encouraged!





a new home in nyc!

My big, exciting news that I couldn't wait to share is: I'm moving! Not from NYC, though. Just relocating within my neighborhood. I'll still be on the Upper West Side (how could I ever leave this wonderful neighborhood?!), but just more uptown. I'm moving into a beautifully decorated and homey apartment (thanks to DIY expert, Hannah Flora. I'm moving into her room when she ties the knot!). I am so excited to have a new space to design and decorate...which has perhaps caused some slight insomnia over the last month or two...

Take a look at these photos of the common spaces [courtesy of my new roomie, Bethany].

I'm moving next week, so I'll be sure to update with pictures of my new space!

mr. president was here!

Not only was he in New York City today, he was on my BLOCK! It was a spectacle, for sure...but pretty neat thinking about the president being right outside in my neighborhood!

what I assume to be the president's motorcade!






























































the street entirely blocked off with the police force. (this is before the sanitation trucks full of sand arrived)
