Weekend Snapshots 05.13.13

Posted on May 13, 2013 by designquixotic

051313_ws_01My life this past week has consisted of 6 airplane rides and 5 states. Some for pleasure, some by accident, and one rather personal. A death in the family has brought me home to the open roads of California… And now another week.

022913_ws_01Spring has been timidly making it’s way in this year. Although I spent most of the weekend indoors, I did relish my brief outdoor moments, cataloging all the beautiful flowering trees in Brooklyn and downtown via Instagram.

Weekend Snapshots 02.11.13

Posted on February 11, 2013 by designquixotic

021113_ws_01The storm #nemo arrived as planned, just in time for the weekend. True to form, it didn’t stop most New Yorkers from getting outside to enjoy the Winter Wonderland it brought us.  Central Park was stunning, although- not to be outdone, the galleries in Chelsea were calling my name: a standout being the recently opened Basquiat exhibition at Gagosian Gallery. There were a few other too, worth sharing… Enjoy!

Weekend Snapshots 12.24.12

Posted on December 24, 2012 by designquixotic

The last two weeks have flown by. It’s been a flurry of holiday parties, holiday windows, present-buying, airplanes, and being sure to say good-bye to friends and colleagues who I won’t see until the new year. For me, it really is the most magical time of year. Below are a few of my favorite little moments over the past two weeks, (excuse the blurry-ness! Guess I was just to excited to stand still). Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

I love this time of year. Over the weekend I wandered around the West Village- and I loved all the little moments, a ribbon on a street lamp, wreaths on doors… and this little scene snapped above. The City is dressing itself up. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well- cheers to the week ahead.

Winter, along with the holidays seems to have officially arrived. I love this time of year in New York and am looking forward to window display looking, ice skating, hot chocolate drinking, and holiday party-going. I hope you all had a nice weekend!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! Although I am very far away from my family this year, i got to celebrate and give thanks with my friends, and had a few little moments of quite reflection with my favorite records during my time off.

Sometimes it’s all about those little indulgences and quiet moments when the week ends.. Friday after work I went to my absolute favorite perfumery, and also picked up this gorgeous die-cut metallic holiday promotional piece…

And now, Monday.

After the week I had… whew. I really needed to do pretty much nothing except stroll around my neighborhood and try a few new recipes at home. The highlight of my weekend was being invited by my friend to watch her in action at a nearby letterpress studio. I’ve always been so fascinated by the process and it was so cool to see how it all works up close and personal. Below are a few pics.

This pretty much sums up a lot of what I saw over the weekend, and my little Brooklyn neighborhood didn’t get it nearly as badly as everyone else. My heart goes out to everyone who was effected by Hurricane Sandy. Stay strong East Coast. We will get through this.
