November Snow

It actually snowed today! In the city! Before Thanksgiving! It was brief and slushy and had no hope of sticking, but we may get more tomorrow. In honor of our first snow:

apt. 2b baking co.


A friend who I went to college with just started up her own baking company out of NYC, apt.2b baking co. The online shop is suppose to open before the holidays and judging by the photos on her blog, it's going to be amazing. I'm totally inspired to start baking some of my own winter treats.

The Photo Booth



Have I ever mentioned that I love photo booths? I have quite the collection of bookmark sized black & whites. My friend asked us to visit the photo booth at Ace Hotel for her birthday last Friday and it was a delight. If I a) ever get married and b) have the money, I'm going to have one of these at my wedding.

Movie of the Month: Home for the Holidays

This movie isn't vintage (unless you count the 90s as vintage - and many do), but it is my most favorite holiday movie ever. It makes me laugh. Cry. Pine for the hunky Dylan McDermott. It's about as perfect as a movie can get. And the cast! Holly Hunter, Robin Downey Jr., Claire Danes (not pictured) and the late-great Anne Bancroft. I can't wait to snuggle up with some cocoa for my annual viewing.
