we saw this film this afternoon and quite loved it. i have to admit i was on the fence about seeing a black & white silent film but it was well crafted and thoroughly entertaining. the leads berenice bejo and jean dujardin were brilliant. have a lovely weekend and happy new year!
1,2,3,4 january february march april may june july august september october november december 2011 was a whirlwind to say the least. i turned 30, got married, honeymooned in barbados, landed my dream job and continue to fall ever so deeply in love with my husband everyday. i’m so grateful for his photography skills, good looks and good cooking. he truly is my favorite. i’m also grateful for my wonderful family and the new family i gained this year. i can’t imagine what my life would be like without these freakin adorable kids in my life. i’m so grateful to be their auntie. thank you all for your visits and lovely comments. in 2012 i hope to share more of brooklyn with you. i say . . .

Continue reading Christmas at the boardwalk this year i decided to doll up the frame with some trees. i enjoyed using holly and fresh flowers but i wanted something that wouldn’t die in a few days. i was really inspired by this forest and kept picking up trees throughout the year. i’m really happy with how it turned out. this collection of trees will certainly be out on display every christmas for many years to come. still so many gifts to wrap but this is a start. it won’t be long now. gonna get back to it. happy holidays!
the last few days have been a whirlwind. between holiday dinner parties with friends, secret santa and holiday parties at work, buying last minute gifts and baking goodies for my students it’s been so busy but so much fun. i’ve been in an 80′s r&b mood and can’t seem to get this song out of my head. it won’t be long now. i can’t wait to make ornaments and bake cookies with my nieces and nephews. outfit details blazer: vintage sweater: ann taylor second hand blouse: vintage pants: gap boots: vintage etienne aigner hat: h&m wedding band: bario-neal the dekalb market is an outdoor market ‘housed in a collection of salvaged shipping containers.’ we bumped into dafnei and found out she sells these amazing bags that were handmade in haiti. i’m in love with all the detailed beading work. i really want that beaded chevron clutch. the jewelry was incredible. i can’t wait to go back and pick up some handmade gifts for friends.
it’s officially cold in ny. like 26 degrees fahrenheit cold. the last time i wore this sweater to visit my parents my mom said it looked like a christmas sweater. so i thought it’d be fun to play it up. i adore isla’s primary colors outfit and was inspired to bust out some yellow and red on a cold blistery day. i ended up looking quite crazy with this getup. i didn’t care one bit, wearing yellow always boosts me up. this outfit is so matchy-matchy and ridiculously bright, but it put me in the best mood though. to stay warm i had no choice but to dance.
