Paper Wreaths

Thanksgiving and Christmas are fast approaching and I am slowly getting into the spirit of things. Here are some really cool paper wreaths, I love the recycling aspect of them and they look cool too. From Apartment Therapy (of course). xoxo

My commute

I have always tried to keep any commute to work very short or at the least, a nice walk. In the past I have ridden a motorbike through the streets of Saigon (always stopping for my morning 'breakfast' of pho soup). I have taken the not so exciting bus to work in Singapore and have walked up one flight of stairs when I worked from home. And I have almost always walked to work in New York City. I love the walk, right straight through gorgeous Central Park. I feel like it calms my mind before work and gets the blood pumping at the same time. Here are some shots of my commute this morning. 

Love this

I saw this on Design Sponge and just loved the painting. 

blue stockings

I've grown to love the colder months for a variety of reasons, but mainly because I get to wear tights! As a serial dress and skirt wearer tights bring me unbridled joy.

Maira Kalman

Maira Kalman's illustrations along with the stories warm my heart and brighten my day, especially gray ones like today. I love the absolute positivity in all her brightly coloured pictures of life threw her eyes. Her weekly blog in the New York Times is called And the Pursuit of Happiness. How delightful is that? For more of her lovely work, check here.
