Hi! I was totally going to post this yesterday, but I got home late and while I was trying to write this post, I was falling asleep. So I waited to do it for today. So, yesterday I went to Coney Island beach with my friends. I took some really amazing shots of random things and my friends all day because I don’t really like New York beaches. All the…

happy summer
Read moreHi! You’re all probably at the beach or a barbecue or getting ready to watch the firework display. I spent my day reading and taking photos for my Summer of Love class. It’s the first day in about a week where it isn’t raining! It’s just been really hot and humid, which I suppose is okay since it’s not hot, humid AND wet. Apparently we’ll be getting a heat wave in the…

citylove: london, england
Read morelondon, england I haven’t done one of these posts in a while. If you remember, last summer I went on a Eurotrip. I came back with so many photos and memories, that it took me a bit to document them all down in my smashbook and even my blog. So far, I’ve only talked about Venice and Paris. Well, since it’s been raining all week here in NYC, it seems…

my summer of love
Read moreSo, because of Hannah Clare of Monster Serenade posting about her love of summer, I not only have some really cool tunes to listen to, but I’m also taking this art journaling/photography class, “Summer of Love” run by Kara Haupt of I Just Might Explode. For the art journaling part, we’ll be creating an art journal from an old vintage hardcover book. Living in NYC, looking for a vintage book…

empire records: open ’til midnight
Read moreEmpire Records has to be one of my favorite movies ever. I could literally rewatch this movie a million times and not get bored with it in the least. It’s your typical early-90’s teen movie, the feel of it borderlining between your classic, The Breakfast Club and your cult favorite, Dazed & Confused. I have an affinity with both of those movies (not to mention I’m a huge John Hughes fan, as…

creating original content
Read moreHey. So, I’ve been a bit uninspired lately. I have a small notebook with blog post ideas written in it, but as I look back at them now, they don’t seem too inspired. I think the whole direction of how I want my blog to go is just not the direction my blog is following. I think the root of it is the seemingly lack of original content. Granted, all…

on indecisiveness
Read moreHi. If you’ve noticed, I changed the layout of my site again. Why? I don’t know. I never know. Most of the time, I just feel like changing it. Do I ever need a reason for doing anything? This brings up the funny subject of making decisions. I’m horrible at making up my mind, especially for certain things over others. Like, I never know what I want to eat and…

book expo america 2013
Read moreI feel like I fell off the face of the planet for a bit and went to book nerd heaven. Seriously, I feel kind of jet-lagged. For this past three days, I’ve been getting up hella early to go down to the Jacob Javits Center, as I signed up to volunteer for BookExpo America. (Think Comic-Con but for writers and books.) I was signed up for all three days of the…

art journaling + collage
Read moreAwhile ago I discovered art journaling. Essentially, art journaling is like keeping a sketchbook, except each page is a finished piece. Plus, it’s mostly a mixed media type thing. Most people use actual sketchbooks for their journal, some use composition notebooks, and then others make their own journal from different types of paper, which is always so cool to look at. For me, I just used an old day planner…

it’s the clichés that cause the trouble
Read more“You’ll get over it…” It’s the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life forever. You don’t get over it because “it” is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart…

citylove: new york city
Read morenew york, new york I can’t even begin to explain to you how much I haven’t really seen in my own city. I’m always amazed at how diverse New York is, but I know that there are a lot more places and things that I haven’t even seen yet. I was in the car the other day with my mother and we were driving back from somewhere. It was a…
