All of my holiday photos this year are from around 5th Avenue, so mostly the boutiques and department stores. Have a fashionable holiday!

Not Quite A Beach Trip
Surprise! I actually went somewhere. I missed the entire fall season outside of New York (not that we had one) and it’s not quite beach weather any more, but it was still a nice trip.

Central Park in the Summer
A Night Walk Under the Trees
It’s been a while since the trees were blooming, but these days I’m a bit slow at this blogging thing. I really like wandering around a park with tall trees or a quiet path through the woods. A day trip to a forest is considered to promote good health and stress reduction in Japan, and one of my favorite apartments ever was basically inside a park. That and the two windows I had were probably why I liked it so much.

Hello Easter
It’s mid-April already.
Somehow.
I feel like the past few months took a very long time, but not that much time has actually passed. For example, I got a haircut two months ago and was completely convinced it was more like four or five months ago. And it does feel like February and that haircut were four or five months ago, but of course, they weren’t.
A long winter, perhaps.
Seems like everything is beginning to even out into something spring-like. Maybe it’s time to wake up and put some pink ombre in my hair.

Summer Photo Diary
Somehow it has become summer here again. I had just become used to crisp mornings, but today the temperature climbed past 80 and is forecast to be even warmer tomorrow.
I have no fall photos yet, so here are my snapshots from the last days of summer.

The Beach Weekend
Good Tidings
When current events turn sad, I often shutter the blog for a while. Social media, too. I don’t like to say that I retreat from the world, but in many ways I do. I like to press pause for a while and spend a lot of time thinking. I like to ponder apocalypse planning (although this could also be caused by excessive episodes of The Walking Dead and Homeland).
If you celebrated Thanksgiving last week, I hope it was everything you wished for.

Happy Halloweekend! + Neighborhood Decorations Tour
Boo! Happy Halloween! In keeping with tradition, I put together a costume from the contents of my closet. You may remember this one from last year– I’m Frida Kahlo. She’s a favorite of mine, and I’ve always found her work deeply thought-provoking.
In addition to my Frida outfit, I also took a short walking tour through the neighborhood. We have a lot of excellent decorations this year. Everyone went all-out!

Weekends + Other Days
I haven’t been taking many photos lately, but I have stepped up my selfie game. It’s been a cold October, so for the fall wedding of the weekend I wore a wool coat over my dress. I almost wore boots under the dress. It was cold enough that it would have been a good idea.
