i'm passionate about design. i love the beauty of food. photography. architecture. graffiti. fashion (and of course the list goes on). i also love new york and how this city has coloured the way i see the beauty around me.

it’s been a slow day at the office today so allison and i decided to take a field trip up 5th ave for some competitive shopping. i came back with some goodies: a photo book about polaroids for me, a someecards postcard book for a friend and a sweet treat!

it’s unusually warm in nyc today and i’m taking advantage of the fine weather to sport my new jacket. here are the specifics:
- jacket – mackage
- t-shirt – madewell
- jeans – gap (i was skeptical about all the hoopla surrounding the new gap jeans – i am a premium denim loyalist but i have to say that i am uber impressed – these jeans are phenomenal. so much so that i think i’m going to get a black pair as well)
- sneakers – tretorn
- scarf – a gift from my aunt in india
- necklace – you can’t see it but it’s the one i’ve been wearing since monday
happy friday y’all!

aisha and i stumbled upon a mackage pop-up store in soho last night and i may or may not have bought this jacket. for those of you that aren’t familiar with this canadian brand, you will thank me for enlightening you – they make the most stunning coats that are perfectly tailored and uber fashionable, in my humble opinion. i bought my first mackage coat three years ago and have been hooked since. check out their site – you’ll fall in love. promise.

aisha and i finally made it into a timmies here in nyc. yes. canadians like canadian stuff. upon sipping her coffee, aisha proclaimed ‘it tastes like cigarette ash but it still brings me home’. oh canada!
i just received an email from a new contact at urban who buys hair accessories and her email signature states that she’s the ‘beauty, hair and wax buyer’. this puzzled me and i promptly pulled up their website to look for said wax products. so what did i find? candles. a handful of candles. i was expecting something much more interesting! can you tell that i am amused by simple things? things that distract me from work.
