New York, New York PaperCut
Since I have a very exciting return visit to my favorite city looming, I started a new New York papercut today. It is based on a NYC papercut I did a few years ago as a gift. Obviously, it is not finished but I am happy with today’s progress. (My fingers hurt a bit though!) I’ll post photos when it’s all done! For now, I have a huge mess to clean up!
Part of the madness.
Not finished, but today's progress.
Boys, Take Notice
A few style cues from the genius that is the Sartorialist. Love, love, love - xx.

Holly Miranda - Ex-Factor
It must be said that the original version of Ex Factor from Lauryn Hill cannot be outdone; however, Holly Miranda does a damn fine job trying. Check out the Black Cab Session.
And…”Waves” from Holly Miranda. Stunning.
Sebastien Schuller, Your Music is Lovely
I will always be a sucker for distant, pretty voices. Loving this track from Sebastien Schuller.

Inspired in Brooklyn
I found these images on seesaw yesterday, which led me to the original New York Times feature. I am absolutely loving the sort of clean but antique vibe to the Brooklyn apartment/home office - thinking downtown studio meets midwest farm house. I will be stealing some of these elements, starting with the cork board collection.

New York, New York
I have been a total blog-slacker this week. I know this…but its sort of justified. On top of trying to purchase my first house, I was preparing for my extended weekend trip to NYC this weekend. My last visit was so fantastic that I had to get back out right away. I think I’m going to make a habit of this. See you Tuesday!
In the deep chrome canyons…
…of the loudest Manhattans.
I was happy to break some news to my dear boyfriend yesterday. I planned a trip to NYC to see a band we love, do some shopping, do some Anthony Bourdain inspired eating. So excited. I do love New York.
Here’s a new piece inspired by our trip. I got funky with my exacto blade, dug up every NYC lyric I could find and took some inspiration from the filthy 80s New York scene to bring you this:
