this wee blouse is a bit racy for me, but hey it’s spring time. i usually wear this scarf to go to bed, but made an attempt at transforming it into a turban. i should really watch a tutorial. pardon my sleepy eyes. same old–same old, crazy busy. but it’s friday and my freezer is well stocked with ice cream.

it won’t be long until this coat gets put away so i figured i’d throw it on and head to the park for a bike ride with the husband. most days i wear skirts or dresses to work but its so much easier cycling with pants. my navy blue vintage oxfords purchased for eight or nine bucks may very well be my most worn piece of foot wear. love those shoes. i considered putting a pop of red in this outfit somewhere but then decided to monochrome. while we were taking these pics there were two people, a guy and a girl. i’d like to think they were dating or in a band together but anyways they were sitting by the pond playing mandolin and singing. the woman had an incredible voice and i’m a sucker for string instruments…couldn’t stop dancing. outfit details: jacket vintage, blouse vintage, . . .

last saturday i had the pleasure of spending the evening with kathryn of kitsune-kun and her husband ryan. we went to the brooklyn flea which is held in the old williamsburg savings bank during the winter. it was so fun to take them down to the vault which now serves as a space for vendors selling vintage rugs, clothing and nick nacks on the weekends. there were so many tempting items but food was the most important part of the agenda. the brooklyn flea has some great food vendors. we feasted on delicious papusas and then headed to fort greene park for a stroll. we were freezing after the park and had some tea and hot chocolate at a cafe close by. kathryn is as lovely in person as she is on her blog. the conversation just flowed and flowed. i enjoyed showing kathryn and ryan around town. they . . .

on new year’s eve my friend texted me that she would be wearing a pretty insane outfit for our night out. josh and i were still doing some last minute cleaning as we wanted to go into the new year with a spotless apartment. i didn’t even think about what i was going to wear. i noticed a lot of sequins online for new year’s eve outfits but i wanted to wear what i already had. i totally forgot that i had sequins in my closet. for my birthday josh went into my etsy favorites and bought me a few things. this dress from custard heart vintage was one of them. it worked out well because i wanted to follow the brazilian tradition of wearing white/ light colors to go into the new year. while i haven’t experienced new year’s in brazil yet. one of the traditions . . .

getting up to the roof is no small feat. there is an alarm system which prohibits us from accessing the roof from the staircase, so we have to get up there by climbing through our window and walking up the fire escape. our building was built in the 1940′s. i’m unsure when buildings were required to have fire escapes but this is certainly an original. it is pretty rusty and its a fairly steep climb. on our journey up we’ve once frightened a small child who was looking out the window (we are on the 5th floor of a 6th story building). we get barked at by a this pitbull that lives behind one of the smaller buildings and step over a squirrel’s habitat. once we get up there the view is lovely and there’s certainly an ease to taking photos without an audience. these shorts . . .

happy new year folks! welcome to the year of the dragon. i just got back from eating delicious hot pot at grand sichuan it’s my friend’s new year’s tradition and it’s always a good time. two things that i’ve been wearing more of is basics and pants. i remember ashley mentioning that many bloggers where skirts and dresses. i’m certainly guilty of that. i’d like to change that this year. i’ve been cycling to work in this ice cold weather and pants have been a necessity. this getup is certainly inspired by the clean outfits that julia wears. typically i’m drawn to high contrast but it’s funny how i’m suddenly inspired by clean looks. our apartment is also painted white and i’m sure this is also influencing my style.
