Sandstorm

Spent a really mellow, relaxing afternoon at the beach with my roommate and his boyfriend.
After a blissfully short half-hour subway ride to fully escape the city, we ended up in Brighton Beach. It's never quite crowded, and today the warm-but-not-hot weather was perfect for packing some snacks (and drinks) and just relaxing.
Let the waves wash your worries away.

Bushwick Open Studios

This past weekend was a fun excuse to mix and mingle with a massive amount of artists in Brooklyn.
Bushwick open studios literally opened the studios of hundreds of artists of all varieties to the public (for free). Everything from graphic to performance art filled streets, buildings and bars in a much welcome weekend of releasing the inner artist and letting our freak flags fly.

Into the Wild

First batch of pics from this weekend. My friend Naomi and I ventured to Frances Slocum State Park in Pennsylvania for a weekend of hiking, tenting, and escaping the concrete jungles we both live in. More to come - but I'm exhausted and ready to unpack and get ready to return to the real world tomorrow...
How did you spend Memorial Day Weekend?

So Glad We MET

Spent this past Saturday with my roommate and his lovely mother, aunt, and boyfriend seeing the American Wing and the new Punk exhibit at the MET.

If you haven't seen "PUNK: Chaos to Couture" yet... You should. You just should. It's inspiring and takes me back to my winter and spring in London in '09. I wish photography had been allowed in the exhibit so that I could give a sneak peek, but that was not the case.

Also, weather permitting (we braved a light drizzle of rain), head up to the rooftop garden, where the floor is an inspiring and mildly disturbing painted work by Imran Qureshi.

All in all, a gorgeous weekend despite the rain.

Bold Moves

In spite of the dreary, rainy, overall unpleasant weather that is gracing New York today, I've decided to be a bright flash of optimism in an otherwise unwelcoming atmosphere.

Super New Spring Finds

Just listed some brand new beautiful items for spring on www.shopdisowned.com.
Head over to check out my new lovely finds!
Some of them came all the way home from Ireland with me; there were some truly amazing vintage and antique finds while I was on vacation. (That's so me- to "work" on vacation)
