Lemon Chicken

This Thanksgiving I spent a leisurely week in sunny Arizona. 

Family, family, family, which means food and art. Not football or fights, but photography, fonts, paintings, film, dance, fashion. I always knew I came from a creative clan, but there was just something about this holiday in particular…

Exhibit A: MY BRAND NEW LOGO! 

What do you think?? My graphic designer dad and I spent an evening culling through fonts and photos until we created the perfect design. I took the photo during my recent trip to Niagara Falls and gave it the vintage filter using Picnik. The font is called "Lemon Chicken." It reminds me of The New Yorker mag, not an item from a take-out menu, but either way I love its art deco feel!

p.s. The Arizona sky offered up these beautiful photo moments that I was able to capture in between grandma's meals and catching up with the fam.

Epic Nature

 Magnificent.

There's more where this came from.

Picking apples for a day

My friends and I escaped the city on a Saturday to partake in a quintessential fall outing: apple picking!

We passed the surprisingly hot and sunny afternoon tree climbing, taste testing and quite literally losing ourselves in the orchard ("I could have sworn we parked next to these red delicious trees!?") 

That evening, we triumphantly returned to our concrete jungle with enough yummy, crisp apples to see us through until November...

In Williamsburg

At the Brooklyn Winery...blending reds to make our own libations :)

Vintage decor, laid back ambiance and tuna hors d'oeuvres.

I'll try a red, please

A North Fork wine tasting excursion on an autumn day. It was overcast and a little chilly, so I felt like drinking reds. My favorite at both wineries was the Cabernet Sauvignon. The Cabs are described as having hints of chocolate and coffee. Hmmm that might explain why I took such a liking...


Palmer Vineyards and Baiting Hallow Farm Vineyard

I'm all for new/resurrected from the 80s handbag shapes...especially when they can be hands-free and won't slide off my shoulder. Miss Parks & Rec designed the one on the left.

Man Sweaters

Confession: my coziest sweater is from the men's department. Hands down, guy sweaters are always the comfiest and most inviting to wear when the weather gets chillier. Some of the best in my collection were graciously "donated" by old sweethearts...

I'd wear these two pieces from Jack Spade with skinny jeans, lace-up oxfords and aviators as an homage to the beautiful fall light.
