Day 2 Apt Hunting

Holy Moly I feel like I have walked a hundred miles already. It's funny how you will walk in circles and circles and feel like you are so far away when you look at an apartment but when you plot it on the map you are right where you want to be. We looked at a number of places and found a darling little gem that the more I thought about it would be perfect. It has some negatives (no closet or storage space to speak of and quite tiny) but the charm of it was undeniable. Amazing moulding, an old fireplace facade, built in shelves, sweet little street right in a vibrant little neighborhood. It was at the top of our list after a full day of checking out places. We decided to head back to the hood after dark and find a little place to have dinner to see how it felt in the evening. Would it feel safe, would there be street life, etc. And boy did we hit the jackpot. The hood is perfect, not too crazy but lots of people walking around, close to subways and not a bad walk to Trader Joe's. A California girl at heart has priorities. We found a little cafe to have dinner and were beside ourselves when we found the back garden to sit outside. It was perfect. Even down to the fireflies flitting around. Yep, I got my heart set on a little studio in Greenwich Village. Let's see how this pans out.

{You've come a long way, Baby}

I have been living in the Rabbit Hole for almost 2 years now. It has become my safe haven from the storm of this city. Don't get me wrong I love this city but it is nice to have a little sanctuary to retreat to when all the hustle and bustle starts to overwhelm. I love sitting at my window every morning to write and watch the parade of neighbors stroll by. I have come to "know" some of them, not personally but just by virtue of seeing them on a regular basis. But that will be another post. This is all about the Rabbit Hole. As I come up on the 2 year mark, I took a look back at where it all started. I remember walking into the apartment with my mom and my broker and falling immediately in love with this little space. I am so thankful we were able to pull off the painstaking process of actually getting the apartment. It has been such a great place to live. And there have been some changes. So here are the before and afters of the last two years.  It was so bare and crisp...

Henri Bendel

I am in Love. It happened quite suddenly although I met him years ago. We rekindled our affair on Fashion's night out a few months back and now it's official, I am head over heels. :) His name is Henri and I love everything about him. I want to be a Bendel Girl for the rest of my life. All illustrations by Izak Zenou who does Incredibly beautiful work. Oh to be THAT talented....swoon.

Gray hair coming in HOT

Has anyone else had to come to grips with how much gray hair you actually have in the last few weeks? NO? Just me? Ok. I needed some color before we even went into shelter in place but a move, a job in Boston and then a complete shutdown of all no-essential services (Um that depends on who you ask) thwarted my getting into Kay’s chair in FiDI. SO here I am, easily 3 weeks past due and oh hey look at all those grays! The funny thing is it depends on where I part my hair as to how much presents itself. I have a lovely little patch right on the top of my head just past my hairline. So there will be no trendy mid parts in my foreseeable future. But if I go just a bit off center to the left you can barely see them. Although I am getting more and more around the temple, ear area so there is that.      I don’t even so much mind my grays. Yes it signals that I am not “young” anymore, well not in the 20-30 years young, but it doesn’t make me feel OLD. I like how I feel when I’v...
