i exceeded last year’s goal of reading 25 books by 5, making a 2019 total of 30. i’m going to do my best to match that this year. these are the first five of 2020. my favorite was the testaments. i wasn’t sure what to expect after such an iconic book like the handmaid’s tale, but it was a captivating and interesting continuation of the story.
also, how beautiful is this rifle paper edition of little women?

i don’t yet have the words for what has happened in the world this week. maybe i will eventually, or never. since we are home for the foreseeable future, i will be showing you little bits of the apartment and what we are up to. we are fortunate to be able to work from home, so i am going to focus on gratitude these days.

over the years, my favorite anniversary gift to give has been photo books by artifact uprising. we have been fortunate to see some magnificent places, and this ensures that the photos just don’t live on my phone. as a bookbinding freak, i love the fabric covers and thick, matte paper the company offers. these are definitely books we hope to have forever.

gone are the days i choose to run around at work in 4 inch stilettos (except for my manolo bbs of course). i tried these on at the dior boutique while waiting for an appointment, and fell in love. the 3 inch feel is so much more manageable, yet still very elegant. the black swiss dot is so fresh and looks great with tights.

we recently went to gramercy tavern for a very special anniversary. we splurged this time and got the full tasting menu – it was absolutely wonderful and a perfect way to celebrate.

a cold winter sunday was the perfect time to test this recipe i had saved for so long. it was a lot of prep work, but the end product was worth it.

flowers from the market, lipstick that came in the most stunning packaging, and a new floral paris inspired candle are some of the small things that are making me happy this winter.

my post from the holidays made me realize that i never did a dining area reveal. while this area will still change over time as we collect more art from our travels, it makes me ridiculously happy to eat at as is. the lamp is from drew barrymore’s collection for walmart and fits in perfectly without blocking the art.

we were so fortunate to finally make it down the street to one of the best restaurants in the world – eleven madison park. even though i am vegetarian, i did not feel cheated out of the amazing culinary experience at all (we even got to visit the impeccable kitchen!). it was truly a night to remember.
