Pretend shopping

Went to Maryam Nassir Zadeh on my walk home from Tompkins Square Park today (a Sunday ritual of dog park stalking and the amazing plant stand at the farmer's market!). I love this store so much. I don't have much else to say really...

Care about the moonlight and holdin' you tight

My boyfriend and I are moving in together and while all I should be thinking of is saving pennies to get a good place, I just want to start stockpiling beautiful furniture and pretty things to put around our new house. The desktop of my computer has just become a mountain of inspiration photos. Craigslist is scaring the shit out of me at the moment, and I'm terrified that we will have terrible credit scores and bad bank statements and I just want the looking and saving to be over so I can settle in.

(Disclaimer: I apologize if any of these photos are not meant to be reposted/I am happy to give credit where its due! x)

moving sale!

I am going to be doing a massive closet overhaul in the next couple of weeks... I am moving and really really need to save a bit more money before it happens (july! scarily soon for me). I apologize because I know these aren't the most exciting of posts, but either way, just wanted to put it out there ... click for ebay xx

Gold in my weird neighborhood

This morning when I was walking home to my apartment in the deep part of the lower east side (if you consider it the les still/chinatown/projects area), I decided to take Henry street, which I never do, but because I don't think after years of living a block south of it that I have ever walked on Henry. And when I turned the corner I came across a storefront with no sign and the window full of beautiful cactus plants, and I peeked in and saw an array of gorgeous leather shoes and bags. After some digging, I found out it is called ABK and the owner, Alya Kazakevich hand makes all of the leather goods. I am going to try to go back today with Luke. It is odd and really exciting coming across anything like this south of Canal street. A little treasure on my end of the neighborhood

ANAISE/the cutest new e-shop

Today was the launch of a very beautiful new e-shop called ANAISE. In July my boyfriend and I are moving in together and I am crazy about these cups and pretty tablecloths. Luke and I were actually talking about tablecloths just yesterday (we were!) and these are the top of my wishlist. The selection of dresses and everything else is so wonderfully curated. I don't have much to say besides you should check it out and spread the word!

My wishlist at the moment:

Akiko Graham custard cup $14, with the aforementioned linen tablecloth $60

crazy cute Loup voile cotton undies $36

Fog Linen butter knife $7 and A Détacher dress $649

most perfect onepiece from Mociun and a small leather shoulder bag by Tannis Hegan
