Lady Lamb and the Beekeeper

I saw her last night open for Beirut in Portland, Maine and I was pretty much in awe as soon as she started singing. She began instrumentless in the middle of the stage State Theater. She has such an intense, haunting, beautiful voice. She lives in Brooklyn now so hopefully that means I will get to see her again very soon.

Hello again

Yikes, first post in a month! I have had a very very busy past couple of weeks - I moved to Williamsburg last Saturday with my boyfriend. I still don't have internet, but there is a super cute cafe near my new place called "2nd stop" that I have been going to quite a bit. It reminds me of a coffee shop near my grandparents house on Cape Cod, which furthers my feeling that I'm on vacation and that this is only temporary. It has been an amazing change so far. My block is so quiet and breezy and there are so many trees. I missed Brooklyn so much!

CHARTREUSE

So happy that this shade is turning up in clothing form. This morning after a lovely Balthazar bench breakfast with my old roomie Caitlin, I walked to Opening Ceremony to be reminded how much I love Cacharel in the form of a Chartreuse cotton dress. Cacharel has become one of my favorite favorite labels in the past couple of years because of their crazy cute liberty prints and color palette. Once all my apartment business is taken care of, and I can loosen up my pockets a little bit, I really hope it still is in the store.

and for good measure, my sixteen year old self (note I am much older than this now) in my chartreuse painted bedroom (it is still this color!)

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.
