Friday Fancies

Ever since I laid eyes on Jonathan Adler's soho boutique, I knew it was love. I made the wrong decision of walking in, and walking out without my paycheck. Oops! Can you blame me? It was the chevron carpets....and the metallic wallpapers...and the retro dining sets...

Okay. I'll stop fantasizing about my future home...after I share my Friday Fancies.

I'm drooling over his detailed metallic ceramics and mod pillows. However, my wallet can probably only afford a new planner. Sigh.

Happy Weekend! What are you all up to? I'm thinking I'll get lost in the East Village in an attempt to find affordable alternatives to my Jonathan Adler cravings.

Falling in Love...

For those of you who know me well, you know that fall is my absolute favorite season. I dream of cool days, hues of red and orange, comfy sweaters and any excuse for 2 lattes a day. Well, this past weekend it was WAY too hot for my liking - highs near the 80s. But, I didn't let that get me down, and had the most amazing NYC weekend.

Saturday I finally ventured to the Brooklyn Flea. It has been on my bucket list since I moved here, but unfortunately, I wasn't as blown away as I expected. I did however satisfy my current obsession with tusks, yes like an elephant tusk, and I bought a super cute one for my newly built leaning shelf (pictures to come in future blog post).

What I wasn't expecting at the Flea was insane amounts of food. My friend Dani told me I had to have a "cemita" - essentially a mexican sandwich the size of my head. WOA. Note: I only consumed half to save room for dessert.

Sunday morning I indulged in brunch at Cafe Orlin in the East Village. I wish I had a picture of the pumpkin pancakes because they were out of control good. I felt so productive this weekend and even though it was blazing hot, I still love NYC.



Fresh flowers I picked up -- notice the Missoni for Target mug?
