Beach Day

Last sunday I drove out to Far Rockaway with a group of friends from all different walks of life. I put my shells on, ate cherries, splashed in the water, and reinvented fun in the sun. It was a good day.

This was at the crowded entrance of the beach which we quickly moved far away from; however, for some reason I'm particularly proud of this photo. New York beaches are a crazy scene!

Until next time Far Rockaway!

Painted House and Garden

I don't think I need to write much this post.

I was just walking down the street in the middle of Philly when I saw this house/veggie garden.

Fun fact: Philadelphia has more public art than any other city in the US, and someone told me its 2nd in the world behind Venice, but I might need to check some statistics on that one...

...regardless this garden is so magical...imagine it in the fall when all the vegetables are ripe!

Home Office Update

Another Week at the Anthropologie home offices is coming to a close....summer is going TOO fast. Every day this job & this city fills me with such joy. I'm so grateful for kind people, rooftops, breezy summer days, and just being 20 years old. Honestly what a gift it is to be this young and doing what I love in a city I don't know. So thanks for that universe.

My sister, Sophia, visited for a day and I made her snap a couple of phone pics on this couch (something I've wanted a picture on since I interviewed back during the year :)

& a couple a phone pic outfit details....

Hope everyone out there is having an amazing summer :)

Philadelphia Week 1

Wow! Its been an amazing first week here in Philadelphia! I've fallen in love with this city...it sorta reminds me of Brooklyn but it has such an old rich history...I just can't get enough. I just got an iphone so heres my first round of phone pics....ever.

I have to say...even though I'm a real photography kind of girl I am blown away by the convenience of having a camera in my pocket at all times. I find myself documenting the little things in my life so much  more!

neighborhood houses are so old and gorgeous

cool old churches everywhere make me feel like i'm in Europe

sparkly sidewalks!

cute Mopeds at work

Anthropologie's headquarters are in the Philadelphia Navy Yard...one day i'm going to lug my good camera to work and do a proper post but heres a little sneak peak of our home office space...I am so spoiled!!

The offices used to be old navy ship warehouses and now look like a museum, fusing modern interior design with original features like rail tracks that go inside... 

:))

an old train cart

yup thats a giant Buddha/fish pond inside a building

I'm a huge fan of these umbrellas all covered in scrap fabric..so pretty!

me on my second day of work....I know I'm making a serious face here but on the inside I was freaking out.

beautiful terrariums are everywhere

and I swear the offices are glowing at all times....its not real

Penn's Landing

Blue doors in Old City

This amazing art is by Kate Henry....I saw her stuff in a Philly gallery and am obsessed....I mean if there is one thing I love its animals with clothes on...and if there another its when its turned into a sewn composition...so cute!

my neighborhood has streets and streets of old mansions that are stunning with perfect gardens out front

this house is out of a dream!

and this was the car parked outside...i'm mean really who are these rad people

and of course I have to end with a yummy breakfast shot

more pics and adventures to come! xxxoxo

Israel Photo Diary 2012
