Here are a few shots I got from a quick dinner + drinks at Vandal in NYC. So many photo ops at this cute and trendy place - almost wish I could go back with a more focused eye, but the conversation with old friends over those frose's certainly deserved my undivided attention!

I live in a more "suburban, urban" area and I forget how much of a city girl I am at heart. Yesterday's quick run downtown has inspired me to get out and explore on a whim a bit more. After riding around for just a short period of time, I scouted so many locations that would be great for photo ops! Can't wait to get out and draft a SS17/18 location scout list!
What better way to blow off some mid-week steam than at this homey little lounge for a few craft cocktails? I love the exposed brick and lighting combo as it creates such a warm and glowing atmosphere - (I grew up in a home with exposed and glazed brick walls, so much nostalgia!)
In the spirit of Nothing is Ordinary, and as demonstrated above, a photo "opp" is liable to occur anytime, anyplace. With the curtain draped like so behind the palms and foliage, this botanical garden shed is obviously an ideal background for an impromptu photo session.
It's that time of year when things are just prettier, more festive and full of charm. Snow, poinsettias and glowy fairy lights! Hope everyone has a very Happy Holiday season!
xo.
Honestly, these mini roses died because I forgot to give them more water - so they dried in their natural shape. I cut the stems and kept them in the vase and voila! Desk decor!
Discovered yet another light mural by David Guinn! Love his work - see Electric Street
"Kintsugi (金継ぎ, きんつぎ, "golden joinery"), also known as Kintsukuroi (金繕い, きんつくろい, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise"

Brazilian steakhouses are one of my favorite dining experiences - Between ordering fancy wines from an iPad, unlimited helpings and a rather exotic salad bar...what could be better? And that authentic Pão de queijo, woo!
I have a natural inclination to pink neon.
Every so often, when I am working on the Immortal Floral series, my home transforms into a tropical dream filled with excessive amounts of colorful flowers and exotic botanics. Over the summer, when these Gladioluses were in bloom, I wanted to get as many color varitions as possible. Pictured below, their massive stem spans, totally engulfing my living room. Their colorful petals really pop against the grey and neutral background and accents.
