inspiration: this weekend

My dears, I had such a fantastic weekend and am continuing on my hunt for inspiration, only this time with a camera by my side. I've found that the fun little moments in life bring forth so many other happy memories.... I guess pieces of inspiration connect seamlessly to one another, just like we do now via blog! (Now isn't that a warming thought?) Here's what I captured in the past three days:

Yellow

Pretty flowers in our apartment! (What kind are they? I have no clue.)


Yummy risotto and crème brûlée at Métrazur, a restaurant inside the gorgeous Grand Central Station


...which by the way has a magnificent ceiling of constellations, coincidentally reminding me of the song "Yellow" by Coldplay.

Tea

I often tell my friends that blogging and drinking tea are the most therapeutic things...


So I often do both at once! I think in the first picture, I was actually typing up my previous blog post!

Paper

My roommates and I are planning a fun trip to Brooklyn later this month. Think chocolate eating and thrift shopping fun.


I also met lots of college students at a beauty event this weekend. Our contact info packet reminded me of a high school yearbook! (Thanks for helping me pick my photo by the way!) I had a blast. Hope your weekend was swell too! xo

  1. Ooh - that risotto looks divine.

    And, is that flower a calla lily? It looks a bit like one!

  3. Morning :)

    Seems like your weekend was full of smiles and new discoveries....mine was; movies & taking pictures, in which I'll be featuring later on my blog during this week. Those flowers I believe are Tulips. I LOVE anything by Coldplay...and I mean ANY-THING! Have fun with the trip......when I go out of town I plan on going to Paris someday, or Chicago...yea, Chicago a place I've wanted to revisit a while now. :) Enjoy your day :)
