Just another day with my buds: Miss Lion, the Librarian and Sir Panther, the Predator. 

on homes and things that feel like home

If this is home sweet home, then this is the roof of the provider of foods for my home sweet home. And, if you're catching onto the (attempted) theme here, then you'll understand that what I'm wearing makes up a pretty standard uniform when leaving my home sweet home. 

Standard is piles of jewelry, an over-sized sweater, jeans & my marants.

 I can conquer just about anything in this outfit...except maybe whole foods on a sunday. If you must brave the throngs, head straight for the roof parking. In fact, I think I can almost see my home from here.

Running around with the leaves and trees and weeds...winter may be gearing up to rear its brutal head, but I'll take four seasons over one any day.

How I hadn't been to the largest japanese supermarket in the US before last weekend is criminal...Walking the aisles was like christmas; my arms were quickly full with packets of wasabi nori, red bean filled mochi, japanese crackers (the kind with the peanuts inside!!) & many more impossible to find snacks. 

These ladies weren't messing around, and who could blame them? It made me hungry for the homemade mochi my beloved grandpa used to make for my mom & I, or the amazing japanese cooking courtesy of her cousins.

Even if you aren't into specialty japanese goods, they not only have beer & sake for super cheap, but an electronics & makeup section as well. Oh, and a food court. Ramen. Katsu. Red bean stuffed buns. Crust-less loaves of bread. And if that still hasn't sold you, there's always the classic burger (teriyaki flavored, of course).

I like this outfit because it reminds me of a recent girls' trip to nyc. After tragically leaving my favorite karen walker's on the train, we headed straight to barneys to replace them. I was drawn to the shoe department, and walked out of there with sneakers, instead of sunglasses. The sweater was the result of an inability to properly read my mom's iphone, fortuitously resulting in us stumbling upon a gorgeous boutique in williamsburg, brooklyn.

If you happen to be in williamsburg, be sure to check out joinery, where you will be greeted with a smile & beautiful handmade, locally designed items, in a rustic space.
