P A R T Y // O N


It's the end of an extremely long day. The stresses of traveling and being away from home for a month never quite dawns on you until you're just a few hours away from taking off.  Left LAX last night and arrived into Beantown this morning at seven in the morn. First stop- getting breakfast with my momma and Boa.

-spinach & bacon benedict from Martin's Coffee Shop
If any of you just so happen to be in Brookline, MA this is one of my favorite cheap eats. They have a huge selection of breakfast foods and everything is yummier than the next :)!

I love being able to say that I'm from Boston because simply put it's one of the most beautiful cities I've ever been to. The minute you walk outside you are thrust into old world charm: you're surrounded by history, beautiful brick buildings, and adorable little alleys. Speaking of which...I had an impromptu little photo sesh. Enjoy!

I love it when my momma photobombs :)


my guy takes some rad photos <3

Last documented food adventure of the day: Otto Pizza


-raspberry lime soda paired with a slice of apple/bacon/red onion & mashed potato/bacon/scallion

Officially the best pizza I have ever had to this date. I've come to realize that I'm a huge fan of thin crust pizza. I love me some pizza with a crunch and some creative toppings. Otto is a must if you're in the Boston area.

Look of the day: 

Looking forward to my last day in the Bean before heading off to NorthFork NY. Good night world.

t h e d e t a i l s

It's been forever since I've been on here, but while I was gone I was able to do a bit of re-vamping in terms of the site itself, my own personal site, and generally have time to figure out what direction my internet life was going to go.

Yesterday was the last day of Dwell on Design and I couldn't be happier to have been able to make it. This year was my first time going, but I can tell you now that I'll be going every year. I felt like a kid in a candy store: pretty colors, odd angles, funky textures, and brilliant creatives everywhere. The most invigorating thing about going to events like these is when you leave utterly inspired and motivated to keep creating.

1. that wooden one person seater is the most comfortable thing my bottom has ever sat on: it's made up of individually loose blocks of wood over cushioning. Think wood meets Tempurpedic.
2.  Vintage serving utensils with painting handles. Isn't this the best idea ever!? Martha Stewart has an amazing selection of craft paints at Michael's. 
3. Mini model of 3D on 3D. Remember those childhood 3D books? Add that to some rad architecture and there you got it...the future.
4. I love fun storage solutions. 

1. Some intense neck candy
2. Yummy patio furniture
3. T E X T U R E
the bestie and I
we obviously couldn't resist taking a photo in front of dwell's backdrop ;)

and of course after roaming around the convention center for hours we were all extremely hungry...so we hit up the Kitchen
 (left to right)
1. Mac n cheese with crusted gruyere...I died a little
2. Buttermilk chicken-crave worthy

I'm leaving for Boston tomorrow, North Fork of Long Island in a few days, and taking the boyfriend to Shanghai from mid-July to the end of the month. I wish I could just jet set for a whole year! Can't wait to keep y'all posted on life in July :).
