and i'm off!
if you are reading this now, know that i am currently away in new mexico for spring break! aahhhhh, spring break! for 10 days!!
also know that i am most likely taking wonderful pictures to share with you all when i get back, so BE. EXCITED.
anyways...
all new yorkers can say that last weekend was a good representation of spring in its youth. meaning that there was sunlight, WARM sunlight, (didn't really get that quite often), and there are people walking in the streets without jackets on. and if you go to union square, there are people walking in the streets with no clothes on. so as much as you should enjoy spring, BEWARE.
last weekend, my lovely family and i walked approximately 5-ish miles just strolling along the east-side of manhattan. lower manhattan that is. we made visit to our favorite shops in the lower east side/soho/noho/downtown area.
let me explain that these photographs are not in chronological order, so i will explain each shop and/or moment with scattered numbers.
#01. a lovely breakfast of fresh bread from eataly, a ripe avocado, and a balsamic rainbow cherry salad
#10. a walk to saturdays. the hipster surf shop that sells really good coffee (??)
#09. a very bold graffiti wall in noho
#03 + #04. shop flowers and water towers viewed while walking — water towers are very interesting to west-siders i must add
#02 + #05 + #07. one of my favorite shops with the most beautiful light: project no. 8 — find your gadgetry and trinkets here! and very photogenic plants!
#06. creatures of comfort. aka my inspiration behind my url: common comfort. it is the most elegant and amazing store and has the best clothing and bags and weird rain hats. aka my kind of store. (*izzy stop using AKA*)
#08. actually a picture of the brooklyn bridge from that week (NOT SUNNY.) when the new jersey forest fire smoke had settled over manhattan and brooklyn.
until next time, farewell! and have a fantastic (hopefully) stress-free week!
