I guess this is when you know you're in the right profession: when something so simple and meaningless to most people provides so much beauty and inspiration to me.

fall
This is what I love to look at on fall weekend days.
merry christmas (early) to me.
favorite night of the inds year
It's tonight! And I can't wait! It's my favorite industry event of the year - Color Invasion - and I'm hoping to get some more fun pictures like this again. Fingers crossed!
speaking my language...in korean
This picture came from all the way across the world in a Korean library from my good friend Anna Curl. I got very excited to see this! I wonder if I could read it?!
weekend 1 update
I am so behind on posting these pictures that I'm not yet sure if it's worth it. But then when I take a look again at how cute they are, how could I not post them?
At the end of September, I made a quick trip home and it just happened the be the weekend of Monica and Tate's birthdays. Brent, Mayce and McKay organized a surprise party, and I was lucky enough to get to partake in the festivities! I wish you could have seen the look on their faces. Both were shocked, but Tate's response was priceless (no shock there!).
We did a full blown birthday party with pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey and all!
I still can't believe where I ended up on Saturday night! I don't need to say it, the picture says it all. But it was a fun "girls night" with just Monica, Mayce and McKay! No matter where we ended up, I enjoyed the time. And I can always enjoy a good SEC football game, there were just no Roll Tides coming from me. So glad I got to make this quick trip!
[ps - there are a series of
anthro beauty
ο»ΏBesides the fact that I have the square flower pillow on the far left currently on my bed, I love this display! I love the sideways turned portraits to add visual interest and something unique. Of course, I love all of the colors in the bedding, the wallpaper and the vibrant portraits. I especially loved the layer effect they created in the "mantel" overhead. If you're around the Anthropologie on 5th Avenue and 16th Street, take a peek. I couldn't stop snapping photos!

color issue
My friend Maggie sent me this new blog saying it seemed "right up my alley". Indeed it does! It's called Color Issue and it's new, but it looks like something I'm quickly going to be in love with. (I'm also trying to win the giveaway from last week, so check it out!!)
I can't wait to see how this blogger is inspired by color, too.

5th year
I've lived in New York for just short of 3 1/2 years. However, I moved here for the first time in the summer of 2007 and started then what has continued as a serious tradition. In October of 2007, I came back to NYC to visit Pamela and LA (who were stationed here permanently by that time, since they had already graduated college) and we did a spontaneous and impromptu Central Park photo shoot during our day in the park. The leaves were changing and the park was absolutely glorious. And every year since then, the three of us have marked a date on our calendars weeks ahead to make sure this fall tradition doesn't die out.
What seems like an event that just started last year has reached a milestone. Today is the 5th Annual Fall Central Park Photo Shoot! I'm headed out now to carry on the tradition (with Katherine joining this year!) and will be back with some wonderful fall photos.

glitter & oxfords
two of my favorite things, all together in one place. I saw these today and couldn't resist snapping a pic of their fabulous-ness! I'll take all three, thanks.
marimekko 5th avenue
I recently discovered earlier in the week the new flagship Marimekko store on 5th Avenue. (In my defense, I think it is fairly new?) And, boy, was I ever thankful for this discovery! I have been familiar with the popular Marimekko patterns and colors for quite some time, but this store was even more beautiful and robust than I was expecting. The window display doesn't do justice to the rich, bold, vibrant colors & patterns that are just inside. Check it out if you're in the area!

lookout new york
tonight.
If you're in the neighborhood and looking for something to do, you should stop by! Dewey's is on 5th Avenue between 25th and 26th Streets. Hope to see you there!
it's fall y'all
With temperatures yesterday in the high 50's and just barely 60's today, I think it's safe to say that fall has arrived! Usually I don't greet this season with much joy (I'm too busy mourning the loss of summer) but this year I am quite thrilled. I'm excited about the crisp, cooler weather and all of the fun activities that come along with the season!

the big 6-0
Today is a special day because someone in my family is turning 60!! My dad passed that milestone over a year ago, and now it's my mom's turn! I hope she has a wonderful day filled with lots of hugs, happy birthday's and hi-fives from those around her. I wish I was there to celebrate too!
