The Shop

New Shop Item + Sunday Funday

June 3, 2012

In previous posts I have discussed how New York is full of the really ugly and the really beautiful, the shit with the “creme de la creme” (here and here). Today was another prime example. You have this tiny little pocket of beauty which  is this “Golden Swan Garden” surrounded by dirt, grime, and homelessness.

But, you know what? I guess that’s life! When is something completely pure and wonderful? There is always another side to the coin. That is why there is always unrest and dissatisfaction in the world. That is why we keep growing and changing and advancing.

I am always looking for something new and more that makes me happy. For right now, this great summer shirt I found recently makes me happy! I feel as if I glow as I walk down the street.

It’s the little things that add up to make one big thing; little happinesses build up to make a great big happiness inside. It’s what makes life worth living for!

Peels NYC in the Bowery – Yum!

Enjoy what you have and have what you enjoy!

“Honk!”

Life is too short–live it to the fullest. No regrets! Cliche or not–these are the truth!

(Thanks Mom for the pics!)

Central Park Kinda Day

May 30, 2012

After a very brutally hot and humid 3 day weekend, today was beautiful! It was cool enough to walk around and not feel like I was going to die. It wasn’t really muggy…. It was definitely the perfect day to make it to Central Park.
I was lucky enough to see a few of these little guys running around! They were not scared at all, completely tame.
I found a big bush of these pink flowers with these humungous bumble bees eating off of them! Once in a while you will catch a glimpse of a stray bee in New York, but I have NEVER seen SO many in one place here! It was pretty amazing! I got close and none of them bothered with me they were so enthralled with the flowers!

This red skirt (which I would almost call a burnt orange-red color) reminded me of the skirt in my “California Girl in Red” post from Sunday, so I had to get it! That skirt was great! I am happy I was able to find a similar one to add to the shop, since the first one sold.

Some days you need a little “communing” with nature… even if the city is five feet away from you! I can’t imagine how anyone could survive living in a city without some sort of park and nature in it!
Days like today are what makes New York Springs amazing! They make it worth dealing with all the crud!
