thailand

a few of my favorite photos from my trip to thailand last September. the heat today in new york reminded me of how tropical and hot it was there, and how exciting it all was.

pride

this past weekend was gay pride in new york! even though i'm not a part of the gay community, its really wonderful how much support and love the city provides. love is love, no matter if its gay or straight. all you need is love, right? and to top it off, two days before, we found out that the bill for marriage equality was passed in new york! perfect timing for a huge celebration. this post goes out to my favorite gay, michael. thank you for being such a unique presence in my life! and for hooking me up with free clothes ;)

my banny

this is banny, one of my amazing dogs. he is big and fat, and so lovable and sweet. he always makes me smile!

bardot

some favorite Brigitte Bardot quotes:

"It is sad to grow old but nice to ripen."

"What could be more beautiful than a dear old lady growing wise with age? Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it."

"Do you have to have a reason for loving?"

april showers

It's a rainy spring here in New York, but the warmth is welcome considering how icy this winter was. The trees seemed to bloom overnight, and I got a few photos yesterday, a quiet, misty spring day. I'm so looking forward to summer, wearing next-to-nothing and feeling free and effortless. Spring is always inspiring to me, it seems to be so much more of a new year celebration than January 1st ever does. I've been working so much these past few months, which has been great, but exhausting at the same time. I keep daydreaming of beaches and sunny vacations, and summer parties on my rooftop....i am obviously in desperate need of summer and some sun. In the meantime I am spending Easter weekend with my family, who I haven't seen in months, so it's a much needed mini-vacation weekend. :)
