I completely forgot this is what I wrote down last December for what 2013 would mean for me. I think I need to make a little more magic to live up to this.

2013 = Magic

Last summer I heard rumors that the city was building a walkway between Brooklyn Bridge Park and the Promenade. Over the weekend, Kristin and I discovered that construction was complete and you could easily walk between the park and the promenade. I foresee many walks home from the studio now that the weather is nicer.

Also on our walk we found a box of beautiful flowers outside of The Invisible Dog, day maker right there.

My favorite part of being at Studiomates is the people. A few weeks ago Jessi asked me if I wanted to help take some photos for the Brooklyn Derby invitation. Of course I said yes, and when I showed up to meet them she had four horse heads with derby hats ready to go. I don’t think it gets much better than that.

Brooklyn Derby is an annual Kentucky Derby party hosted by the fine folks of Workshop, details at brooklynderby.com.

Emily from Haptic Lab dropped off a prototype of their new sailboat kite. Hopefully I’ll be able to take this thing out in the wild this weekend!

madewell + birchbox + me

Mon, 25 Mar 2013 10:15:00 -0400

Last week, I had the pleasure to work with Birchbox and Madewell on a meet the bloggers series. Birchbox did my hair and makeup and Madewell provided clothing for a fun photoshoot. If you aren’t familiar with Birchbox, it’s a great way to try new beauty products. You sign up for a subscription and they send you samples monthly of new products. The lip gloss I used at the shoot has become my everyday favorite (it’s birchbox pink by jouer). Madewell is one of my very favorite brands especially because their stuff is pretty casual, which is how I dress most days. I fell in love with this dress and this super soft leather jacket.

clothing // dress / jacket / bag not yet available online (similar) / watch this video with a madewell stylist for spring styling!

Last night I experienced a rare moment when I realize I am a grown-up and I can do whatever I want. So, instead of heading home after babysitting my nieces like I had planned I headed to the Brooklyn Bridge and walked halfway across. I can’t think of a better ending to the first day of Spring.

Oh, and I took some photos!

My CrossFit girl crush will be visiting my gym next week to compete in The Open and I didn’t RSVP in time. Sad trombone.
Even though I missed the aforementioned. I’m super excited to start The Open of the Crossfit Games for the third year in a row. Follow me here!

I just finished my first online Skillshare class on editing in Lightroom, it was definitely worth $20 as a beginning Lightroom user.
Do you have an old iPhone sitting around? I just used the Amazon trade-in program and got a decent amount of money for an iPhone 4.
