loosing time

This photo makes me smile. It's really windy here today. I wish I was laying amongst the tulips in the sun with my friends. Sorry for my posting absence, time seems to be running away on me and I have SO many more NYC finds to show you. 

this is another of those photos I don't know where I found it, so if somebody can enlighten me so I could pay credit where credit is due, it would be appreciated.

saying goodbye to nyc

 I say goodbye to this wonderful city today. I have so much more to blog about from my trip, I just haven't had enough time. I leave you with these photos from my trip to the Brooklyn Flea Markets in Williamsburg. Brooklyn is so inspiring, it's fresh with new idea's, endless optimism and a little more space then it's sister across the way. The view of Manhattan from the green where the markets are held has to be the best view of the city by far. More to come. And homeward bound I am. The arms of my husband are what I'm looking for. xx

little coney island

I made a little film on our trip to Coney Island. We had so much fun, it was all very amusing. Enjoy Mia.

long lunch setting

Dreaming of hot summer days, long lunches with pretty white flowers and ripe, juicy cherries. Ice cold homemade lemonade with splashes of belvedere vodka. Mmmm. I heard it's cold at home.

ace hotel

I found out about this hotel (amongst many other things) - Ace Hotel - in The Stylist Guide to NYC. My mum and I stopped by for brunch after checking out the Chelsea Flower markets. It's ultra cool NYC, americana decor supporting local street artists, grand yet mysterious. You can buy your coffee from Stumptown Coffee Roasters and sit in the lobby on your laptop catching up on your emails and blogging, whilst being surrounded by majestic interior design and all walks of life. More about this hotel later.   

i've discovered more delicious coffee

A little french bakery located at the Essex St Markets serving yummy, creamy coffee (Stumptown Coffee) and tasty croissants. Pain D'Avignon is just around the corner from the apartment. Sorry about the last photo, waiting to get the subway uptown and my balancing efforts were left a little bit to be desired. 

swing 46, jazz and supper club

 Mum really wanted to go to a swing club, so after a little research we found Swing 46 a Jazz and Supper Club. Located along 46th street in the Theatre district, this little club was fabulous. The night we went we had a bite to eat, some cocktails and saw Felix and the Cats, a seven member Big Band. There was also a fabulous professional swing couple dancing the night away. Super fun, highly recommended.

theatre at your fingertips

I've managed to fit in 6 shows thus far. Pretty impressive. There is so, so, so much to see on Broadway, off Broadway, off, off Broadway. Overwhelming I must say. One of my favourites being The House of Blue Leaves with Ben Stiller, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Eddie Falco. I've tried to see as much as possible of what I'm pretty sure won't come to Australia. 

amazing, amazing, amazing

guggenheim, new york

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum on 5th Ave opposite Central Park on the upper east side is an architectural icon of the 20th century. My first memories of NYC are of this museum, the building is so distinct, it's hard to forget. The museum opened in 1959 and was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, an american architect and interior designer. It took 15 years, 700 sketches and 6 sets of working drawings to create the museum. From the street the museum looks like a white ribbon curled into a cylindrical stack. The doors didn't open until 10 years after the death of Mr. Guggenheim and 6 months after the death of Mr. Wright. The Guggenheim Foundation has museums in Venice, Bilbao, Berlin and Abu Dhabi. The Great Upheaval: Modern Art from the Guggenheim Collection, 1910-1918  was exhibiting when Mum and I visited.  Exploring Cubism in Europe, featuring Pablo Picasso and Vasily Kandinsky.

if I had a country home

If I had a rustic country home, these photos are exactly what I would do with the dining room and bathroom. Home sweet home.

a taste of coney island

More to come from this little trip to Coney Island.

LOVE

NYC street art.

love, loans + linen

Follow Studio's partner in style (as they say) is this absolutely stunning and elegant business loveloansandlinen. They design events, loan treasures and have both a shop you can visit or if like me you don't live in Sydney they have an online store.  

tribeca taco truck

How good is the tribeca taco truck, love, love, love it. Wish we had this in Brisbane. 

bright lights

How full on is Times Sq? I've been there a number of times now and I still stand with my eyes staring at all of the lights, advertising, extreme use of electricity and the madness of the place. Intense. My photos really don't do it justice, my camera can't seem to capture the lights properly. 

bicycles, bicycles, bicycles

a huge post of bicycles. if i could get up our hill at home, I would have one for sure. i love photographing all of the cute bicycles in this city. i have more but will save them for another time.
