“Before I die I want to…” polaroid project. What do you want to do before you die? I’d have trouble summing it up on the bottom of a polaroid. Submit an entry or see what others’ dreams are - from very big to quite simple.

This year’s holiday card featured signs of Christmas cheer found throughout NYC. I had a lot of fun finding the colors of the season in the most unexpected places.

Past year’s cards can be found here and here and here and here and here.

My parents sent me this wreath at the office, so I strapped the sucker to my back and biked it home. Totally worth the schlep - my apt already smells like Christmas! Bonuses on the way - Park Ave lit up and a singalong @ strawberry fields in Central Park.

Ahhh. There are few feelings like that of dropping a bazillion handmade Christmas cards in the mailbox. When else do you get to sprinkle a little love simultaneously on everyone you know around the world?

My new apartment has antique crystal doorknobs like this! I’ve always wanted them, so this was a big ~~selling~~ renting(?) point for me.

This morning Eric made the decision to use egg nog to make our french toast. After eating more than enough to negate our morning run, I concluded that he made a very, very good decision indeed. Recipe here

Does anyone have a good cowl neck or hooded scarf pattern? I need some motivation to get back into knitting, and a little project would certainly help! (image via new fashion world)

Hectic commute Friday, stroller parking lot edition. Right after this, I passed a dog walker with a herd of about 10 pups ranging from Standard Poodles to English Bulldogs and a gaggle of screaming pre-schoolers whose moms could all pass for Diane Kruger’s twin, decked out in huge sunglasses and wrapped in Prada and Burberry.

Just another morning on the Upper East Side!

I really have no desire to ever go to Vegas. But, if for some reason I end up going someday, you’ll find me not at the casino, but in the neon sign graveyard taking lots and lots and lots of photos! A high school friend did her post-wedding shoot here and it was amazing. (this photo via w. scott chester)

One in every color, s’il vous plaît. (Roland Mouret dresses via Refinery 29.)

Note to self: High tail it back to the thrift store and see if that bright blue silk minidress that you stupidly let go last week is still there. For $12.99, it gives these a run for their money and costs ~~hundreds~~ thousands less.

Eric and I have started a tradition on Sunday nights where we cook (a recipe that will yield good leftovers is the only requirement) and watch a classic movie. It’s a good remedy for the “Sunday night blues,” and we’ve picked it back up now that Don Draper and crew are back on hiatus.

Someday maybe I’ll get around to posting every movie + food pairing, but for now, I’ll just share my recent favorites:
[food]: Pasta pan-fried with butternut squash, sage and pine nuts
[classic movie]: Some Like it Hot

Try either (or both together for maximum enjoyment)! You won’t be disappointed.

A sweet reminder to hop off my bike once in a while and take a second to notice the things, like these benches, that I pass every day @ Riverside and Central Parks (via even cleveland)

To the people who still send real cards out:

receiver:

When doing your holiday cards, take one and send it to this address:

A Recovering American Soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue NW
Washington, D.C. 20307.

If we pass this on, think of how many cards these wonderful special people would get.

Cozy entryway. My aunt and uncle where we stayed for Thanksgiving last week have a dutch door like this. I think I might just have to add it to my wish list for future home features… (via you are my fave)
