Today I made eggplant parmesan for the first time. I’m still collecting family recipes and trying new things out in the kitchen. This collection of photos are inspired by my favorite color, and new favorite dinner. :) They leave me with the same happy feeling of pasta, merlot… and Ryan doing the dishes.
I haven’t been on vacation in about four years, and I’m dying to visit the Netherlands, where my Dad’s family is originally from. I never knew that tulips actually grew in fields like this, but seeing it gives me a whole new appreciation for this everyday store bought flower.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated with vintage umbrellas. It seems that even on the rainiest of April days, they can make you have a little ‘spring’ in your step. Being that it’s supposed to rain for the next few days in New York, I think the thunder storm will make me sleep easier… that, and this cheerfully whimsical image.

Ever since I bought this nail polish, I think my nails have constantly been painted this color. I’m in love with the color, which is unintentionally similar to my wall paint color… and even a little similar to my cat, Smoodge. :)

I’m sitting with the windows wide open… as open as they can possibly be. I love the smell of spring, especially now because it’s mixed with the smell of our neighbor doing laundry. (yum!) It seems like overnight everything is blooming here in the NY area, so this post is inspired by the amazingly exciting color of forsythia’s.

Growing up, the gigantic forsythia bush on my quiet suburban street was always my manhunt hiding spot of choice. This polaroid warms my heart.

There are few images that actually give me butterflies. This one somehow does it… the stripes and modern crib mixed with the vintage dresser are so chic!

Probably not an interior I’d have in my own house, but I love the industrial look of the cinder blocks with the old school velvet chair.

This long with the striped ceiling were shot from the same house belonging to Jenna Lyons, Creative Director of J.Crew and was featured in Domino last year. My all time favorite bathroom was also included in this house, but I’m waiting to post with a bathrooms post. :)
