#47 Dancing in Black, White & Grey

Sometimes I just feel like dancing.  There's no reason for it, just an innate need to move to the music playing in my head.  I have no shame.  Nobody should when it comes to dancing because then there's no fun in it.  Just grab a partner & let loose, it's Friday!

#46 Shiny Office

I have a strong propensity for organizing.  I tend to organize spaces within an inch of their life...you can ask any of my roommates or family members.  The weird thing about it is that I actually get joy out of the process of organizing.  Give me a messy closet/pantry/desk, a couple of hours to get the job done, a trip to the Container Store, and I'm a happy camper.  I kinda wish my desk needed a cleansing & makeover right now, so I could go gold with all the accessories...hmmm, I think the gold scissors will def be mine very soon.

 the perfect desk... 
you would need a little gold bottle of windex to go with it though

#45 Welcome Spring

Spring is making me a bit giddy and completely optimistic/unreasonable in my fashion choices.  Rompers and white jeans for all!  I've been obsessed with finding white skinny jeans since the winter before last and have finally found the perfect pair!  For those of you saying, "White jeans!?!? How the heck do you keep those clean?"  You can use some high powered cleaners without worrying about bleach spots or fading.  The only problem with white clothes is the pit stains.  I'm hoping I won't have that problem with pants...

I'm in love with this adorable romper but I have no idea where I would wear it...

Spring in the City

#44 Hipster Heaven

This weekend I took advantage of the lovely weather and went to hang out in Hipster Heaven (aka McCarren Park).  It's like going to a fashion show & being part of a bicycle gang the moment you enter.   And I can guarantee you it has the most concentrated collection of tattoos & wayfarers you've ever seen in your life.  The people-watching alone provides endless hours of entertainment and delight.   I spotted a cat wearing bunny ears being walked on a leash by a couple wearing bunny ears and white rabbit fur vests and  bunny tails.  Love it.

 

and this is just the beginning of spring...

#43 Martha Madness

Hootie hoo!  I just had an amazing night last night!  I attended Martha Stewart's Stitchfest.  I had no idea what to expect besides lots of fun crafts.  The crowd was a very ironic mix of 20-something hipster handiwomen and women that could be their mothers... I really wish my mom had been there!  I got to make my very own tomato pincushion, made a new friend &  ran into Martha herself!  We all got goodies bags full of fun things for craft projects to come--needles, thread, scissors, dye, Martha's new book, MS magazines & other fun stuff.  I'm pretty sure my roommate, Iliza, thought it was hilarious to see someone so excited about needles and thread.
