I'm all bundled up for a blustery week in NYC. Look how pretty and peaceful Central Park was yesterday.

After gloss dominating for years, I'm so excited for the triumphant return of bright bold lipstick. Definitively girly and an accessory all on it's own. I've been rotating Clinique Red Red Red and Christian Dior Star Fuchsia.

I'm working on a little side project for school exploring the world of online dating. Have you ever done it? I'd love to hear what you think. It's short and sweet and anonymous. xo

grey gardens

I know I'm way behind, but I finally watched Grey Gardens the other night. Completely fascinating and alternately sad and sweet story of Jackie Kennedy's aunt and cousin (both named Edie) living in squalor in the Hamptons while singing, dancing and reliving what could have been.

helplessness blues

Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues by subpop

Heard this on KCRW the other morning and fell in love. Shazam couldn't match it so after some creative googling of the lyrics I could remember, I found out it was the brand new single from Fleet Foxes. And even better, you can download it for free here! Happy Friday!
