{ roof garden }

I've never had much of a green thumb...

back in California I had visions of a lovely rooftop garden

but my plants always withered away shortly after purchase

that was until my lovely AP biology teacher roommate

brought them back to life. THANKS S!

Living in NYC, I crave green. 

Green grass, green rolling hills, green vegetables, anything green.

so H and I decided we'd make a rooftop garden attempt

One quick trip to Home Depot

and we had our seeds, soil and cute gardening gloves. 

We planted, and watered

and then I got busy but I watered when I could 

and then I got busier and kind of forgot about our garden

but last night we decided to garden again and...

there was a garden! on our rooftop! success! 

We did it! Our garden certainly could have used a little more love

but what love we did give it paid off!  

mixed greens, cabbage, beans & cute little carrots. 

we harvested, chopped, cooked 

& had a lovely rooftop garden feast.

I'm truly amazed what a little seed, sun and some water can do. 

There will definitely be a next time & you're all invited for the feast!

{ borg night finale }

yes the borg wall is still up

mostly because I've been too busy to take it down

but since it's still up, I thought I'd share a few

of my favorites from borgs last night photo shoot

it was quite the affair.

a good friend earlier this summer told me I needed to experience NYC by bike...

She was right. There is nothing better than cruising around with your favorites

with the wind in your hair & the river to your side on the perfect summer night.

The only thing missing was a helmet. So we took a trip to the most perfect

little bike shop adeline adeline because safety is first but looking cute is important too!

 summer is magical in new york

where else could you watch ghostbusters on the deck of the USS Intrepid

on the perfect summer night? 

only in new york baby, only in new york.

{ obsession }

i can't get enough of this song

if a guy sang this to me 

I'd probably marry him 

even if he told me he wrote it himself

i'm a little obsessed right now.
please listen...all the way through.
I think it's worth it. 

{ f is for family }

F is for family....

we had a little family reunion in the mountains

and my favorite part was sitting around looking at old photos

hearing stories about my grandfather and the brothers 

it was everything I could want in a reunion 

and as my family says, it's always happy hour somewhere... 

 they certainly always know how to the get party started...

the one thing I love most about about NYC is the people

I have friends doing all kinds of interesting and brilliant things

this of course happens on the left coast too but more so in NYC

like friends who grace the pages of marthastewart online! hah!

I can't wait to see Greg in this picture instead of the random sir below!

{ polo & the prince }

one of the many perks of living in the big apple...

free polo matches on governors island

lovely people, lovely friends

& prince harry...yes, THAT prince harry. 

it was quite the perfect day 

but those lovely people & my lovely friends

were sweating like waterfalls 

cause it was hot

real hot

& humid

welcome to big apple summers...
