Henna

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm constantly drawing henna on myself, and pretty much anyone who will let me get within 5 ft of them with my henna kit.

Its so relaxing to just draw endless patterns, and I love the feeling of peeling off the hardened paste and seeing how the design turned out (its kind of like the excitement of opening a present).

Here are a couple of resent self tats :)

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 :)

Strawberry Pie & an Anthro Birthday Party

Last Sunday was baking day. I went to the store/farmers market and got all my strawberry summer pie ingredients.

It was one of my mentors birthdays on Monday so I basically ate one whole pie myself while watching the bachelorette and brought the other to work for a classic Anthropologie birthday party.

My 4th favorite thing about work behind getting paid to collage/draw prints/be creative, pet dogs (cause everyone brings their dogs to work),  and work in a fairy world, are the parties.

Every day it seems like some group of people is having a party with amazing food and even more amazing decor. Last week I was put on tassel/spinach & artichoke dip duty and cooked and made tassels for most of the morning, aka I love where I work.

Party mid set up

My mentor loves fancy drinks so everyone was told to bring a different beverage as a gift.

And of course I tasseled everything :)
