Started the week with an appointment at Resonant Healing. Acupuncture does wonders for my soul and was much needed before a busy week ahead.
Stepping out to visit an apartment. I was trying my best not to get attached to the space after viewing and was over the moon when we heard back yes :-)
Naturally my mind has been filled with design ideas. I'm excited to get into moving mode. Lots of clearing space and decorating ahead.
I stumbled into Knockout Beauty in Brentwood (had no idea there was a store so close by!) and picked up a few skincare products by Environ. I love a convo that stirs up out of the blue and had a long chat with one of the sweetest associates.
A bit of what's on my counter right now. I'm loving the Biossance squalane and peptide serum. Julia Berolzheimer talked about it last year on her page and I was eager to get my hands on it.
Off to New York to visit a few friends.
We stayed at our friends new home in Park Slope. It was beyond dreamy and felt like a mix of Paris and New York.
Dinner at Peasant which is one of my favorite spots in Nolita and then post-dinner drinks at Bar Pisellino.
I had to capture a quick pic of the bathroom. There's just something about a home that feels elevated and hotel - like.
Heading out in the morning for coffee and a good long walk through the West Village.
I had brunch with a friend at L'artusi and then met up with a few others at Palma for an afternoon spritz. The weather was beautiful and the sun was out to play.
It was on my list to check out the new Big Night store. Though it's not all my style, the curation is perfect and the idea is brilliant. I would recommend popping in for a little housewarming or birthday gift. They even have a little sundry section with cheese and charcuterie.
Back to Brooklyn to change and off to a fancy birthday dinner. Three days in the city feels challenging because the list of people to see, places to go and things to do is extensive. I was very excited to see all our friends together at dinner. A good-for-the-soul weekend indeed.
Caroline laid out all these sweet photos along the table for Christian's 30th and I am definitely taking note for future festivities.
A sunday brunch at Evelina with one of my best friends. The duck and waffle was a hit and a must try. I plan to spend a lot more time in Fort Greene next visit.
Then a backyard hang to recover a bit from the night before. I was notably sleep deprived by this point.
Red Hook Tavern has been on our list for a long time. I loved the energy, the design and the food. They're known for the burger but I thought the wedge with smoked bacon was even better.
Deane getting his New York fix.
A blurry, but calm, view by the water.
The cherry on top was a peek into the new Doen store. We passed a Fevertree truck outside that was passing out mocktails. The energy is vibrant this time of year and made for a hard goodbye.
And a peek at what was in the bag. This sweet silk shirt that I think will look summery and sweet with shorts and sandals in upcoming months.
