Summer evenings

When the summer rolls around, this is how we typically spend our evenings, well, in the weekends at least: good food, good drink and good friends. We are so fortunate to have such an incredible roof space that, strangely enough, other residents don't use quite as often, so it's usually pretty quiet! Even better, since our chatter can sometimes get animated as the night goes on ;-)!

These evenings are always the perfect chance to chill out, and probably one of the only times you'll catch me in shorts and a tee! I must admit, this sailboat one was too cute to resist, especially since I'm always inexplicably drawn to anything nautical! Not that I've ever even tried my hand at sailing... Perhaps I've just spent too much time watching the boats whizz by on the river. Thanks to the lovely Nadia and Abigail at Arrojo whipping my messy hair into something MUCH more acceptable this week, I'm even sans hat in these photos! I'm ever appreciative of a style that is easy to manage in the summer and these gals totally nailed it!

West side views

Dress and flats: J.Crew, Hat: Reiss, Bag: Kate Spade, Cuff: Tory Burch, Bangles: C.Wonder, Belt: vintage

The walk along the lower west side of Manhattan is one of my favorites. I'd like to think one day, I'd live close enough (we're on the east) so that I could run down this stretch everyday, even though I'm not a runner! We even discovered a mini golf AND free canoeing around here- score! Duly noted for later this summer.

What are your plans for this summer?

Must see in NYC: Thierry Cohen


Ever imagined what the night sky over NYC could look like without pollution? Last weekend we took a trip to Chelsea to check out this incredible exhibition by Parisian photographer Thierry Cohen. The pictures were so awe-inspiring and beautiful that I just had to share! Here's what the gallery had to say...

"Cohen seeks out views that resonate for him and notes the precise time, angle, and latitude and longitude of his exposure. As the world rotates around its axis the stars that would have been visible above a particular city move to deserts, plains, and other places free of light pollution. By noting the precise latitude and angle of his cityscape, Cohen is able to track the earth’s rotation to places of atmospheric clarity like the Mojave, the Sahara, and the Atacama desert. There he sets up his camera to record what is lost to modern urban dwellers." 

By producing composites of 2 images you can see what we're really missing! The exhibition is at the Danzier Gallery until May 4th, and I highly recommend you stopping by if you're in the area.

Why so serious?

outtakes

Here's a little tongue in cheek post to brighten a boring weekday! As I'm sure most other bloggers, I seem to accumulate a lot of photos I never use... most of them are pretty silly, I seem to pull a lot of strange, crazy faces! Here are a few I stumbled across while clearing out my laptop, so I thought I'd share... :-)
