Joyeux Anniversaire | Happy Birthday.
The 22nd of April brought in the anniversary of my birth, and with it, pushed me into a new statistical age group... Officially making me a darling of the "mid-twenties" variety.
The weekend was: the best gift of all - a visit from my parents, incredible Thai at Kittichai, baby blue nail-polish, torrential rain of biblical proportions, too many desserts (including an extraordinary raspberry-vanilla cake from Dean & Deluca), a multi-course lunch at Del Posto (my favorite restaurant in NYC!), handmade bracelets, drag queens, jelly fish and crystal printed cape tops, elderflower+vodka+triple sec cocktails, blush pink shopping bags, smooth red win, aimless walks through the Meatpacking District and West Village, blossoms all throughout the city, a taste of spring, hilarious conversations with my favorite brits and southerners around the fireplace of my go-to neighborhood dive bar, dinner with some of the best at Dumont (killer mac and cheese, trust), candlelit treehouses, champagne + creme de violette, many blocks of Soho, breathtaking skyline views, glittering silver Halston dresses, vintage make-up looks, and a whole lot of love.
