grand central terminal, nyc


These photos of NYC's Grand Central Terminal certainly don't do it justice. I stood mesmerised for about 40 minutes, taking photo's, filming (will post one later), people watching in the main concourse. The ceiling is breathtaking, "apparently" based on a medievil manuscript that visualised the sky as it would look to god outside the celestial sphere, find more info about it here. The tiffany blue and gold is stunning and it would compel anyone to catch a train on a regular basis.

chelsea markets

Back to NYC, about time hey. 
The Chelsea Markets located in Chelsea on the edge of the Meatpacking District is this heavenly escape from the hustle and bustle of new york city. The markets are in the converted National Biscuit Company Building, known for vanilla wafers and oreo cookies. The shops inside are brilliant, 9th Street Espresso (best flat white I could find), The Lobster Place, Anthropologie,  Bowery Kitchen Supply, Fat Witch Bakery to name a few. 

a special baby shower afternoon

One of our dear friends is having a baby very, very soon. Let's just say this little girl that is about to enter this wonderful world is going to have "A LOT" of aunties.  Her family put on a gorgeous baby shower one Sunday afternoon. Lot's of girls, lot's of giggling, lot's of delightful pressies for the Mum to be.

How lovable is Angus and Julia Stone's website. The framed photos, the books, the postcard, the vintage telephone, the gramophone, the background. love, love, love.

just a peek


Ok I couldn't resist,
a little peek at the trailer for Midnight in Paris.

my next dinner party - 1920's

Whimsical brilliance. Midnight in Paris is a must see. The film is so inspiring, all I will say is I'm currently planning my 1920's dinner party and all because of this film.
