image from classy in the city

The fact that it's about to be 2012 is altogether shocking, exciting and nerve wracking. 2011 was a good year but I am looking at 2012 as being the best year ever. As I hope you all are looking towards it, too.

May be full of everything you want and much more.

Are you doing resolutions this year? What are they? I'm still sorting mine out, a list to come. In the meantime, happy new year to you all, thanks for sharing 2011 with me. Cheers to the best to come.xo

Happy new year!

Luca is wishing you all the happiest new year to come. May 2012 be filled with utter joy and love from start to finish.

underneath it all

I'm never as free as I am under the water, holding my breath, spinning, eyes closed, lungs full of air, arms and legs free, hair loose, weightless in every sense of the word. that's when I feel childlike, grownup, light, hopeful and utterly in love.

what about you? when do you feel the best?

How great is this trio of tablets I found in PegandAwl's etsy shop? I'm actually quite obsessed with their entire shop but these tablets are so necessary when you're trying to streamline your life and get rid of tons of notes all around your home.

It's made from reclaimed oak, the bleachers from Liberty Highschool built in 1918, Philadelphia, reclaimed black leather and chalkboard paint.

Devil or Santa?

Seriously. 

read this

Seriously, take a moment to read this story. You will be happy you did.

How was your Christmas? 

Luca met Santa, hated him, screamed bloody murder and then ran full speed to the ocean like a madman. Kinda don't blame him, you know?

Happy happy merry merry to you all.xx

I feel as one

Luca is loving life in Jamaica. This kid was made to be on a beach. To be in the sea, sit on a boat, kick in the waves, dance on the sand. His white locks bleaching out from the sun's rays.
So grateful.

"While a girl crush is, by its informal definition, not sexual in nature, the feelings that it triggers - excitement, nervousness, a sense of novelty - are very much like those that accompany a new romance."

From Must be a Girl Crush — Jenna

"You don’t have to deserve your mother’s love. You have to deserve your father’s. He is more particular…. The father is always a Republican towards his son, and his mother’s always a Democrat."

Give me some comfy printed pants, cashmere sweater and a little leather jacket any day and I'll be content. Especially today in this mid-50 degree bizarre nyc weather.

worn

I'm falling in love with all the girls in thick rimmed glasses around the city. Something so chic and sexy about it.
While on my shoot the other day, my crew decided despite my perfect vision, I needed to consider specs - personally I think I look like a mom, in a bad way...opinions on glasses?
