one turn and i learned what it really means to see

Pearly Gate Music- I Woke Up

Listening to this song and thinking of someone special...

She got sunset on her breath

Have had a magical week back in California.. Been keeping a low profile before all of the madness of New York and school. Savoring some last few days of the summer sun..

Some of my favorite parts of the state that will always be home...

Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.

Saw memoryhouse the other night, who played an amazing set that capped off a great show with Twin Sister, Oberhofer and Beauty Feast at the Mercury Lounge. I was captivated by their sound and aesthetic. They not only put out amazing music {and playlists} but I really admire their all around image, which so wonderfully compliments their sound.

Some shots from the show...

Have had apartment hunting on the brain ever since I landed at JFK... Am really really hoping it is all over, found a really amazing place in the most beyond perfect location in the East Village, so everyone cross your fingers for me! While I wait to hear if we got the place, I will have to bide my time mulling over the hundreds of inspiration photos I have stored, I love thinking about a fresh slate...

Though I won't have nearly this much space, its so much fun thinking about new spaces and how you will fill them, and subsequently live in them!

A little summer playlist of some appropriate tunes for the long, languid days of summer..
{Meaning lots and lots of reverb}

Enjoy these last beautiful days of my favorite time of year.. An NY summer is nothing like in California, though I feel like the weather this summer has been a little off for those of us on both coasts, one too hot and the other too cool.

 These hot, sweaty days just ooze mystery and are a great cause for contemplation. They make me long for some kind of reprieve, and not in the form of air conditioning. I'm looking forward to a little vacation  time spent back in California with the family, this summer flew by way too quickly with lots of work and preparing for my move, so it feels a little surreal to be going back, but hopefully I can cling to a couple last beach days before we all change up our shoes from sandals to boots, and tank tops to sweaters...

This city is rough.. Not the candy coated, palm tree lined, permanently sunny and 72 degrees 

of Los Angeles that I am so accustomed to. Have been apartment searching for the past week, and must say have been having my ass kicked but lucky to have a fabulous partner for the ride....
