4. CHRISTY TURLINGTON in the perfect ikat shift dress.

5. VANESSA HUDGENS is casual in my favorite shade of turquoise.

Isn’t it funny how just a little bit of height changes the feeling of your whole day? I’ve started wearing heels on a day-to-day basis. And, I can’t stop.

2. .PEOPLE-WATCHING.

Maybe not to the extent of toting a video camera around (like in New York, I Love You), but still.

And here, the Sex and the City slapping scene.

3. .JAYWALKING.

Because waiting for lights to change is not time-effective.

4. .MISSED CONNECTIONS.

I love this blog’s artistic representation of the “missed connection.”

Check out my borderline embarrassing musings on strangers.

5. .COBBLESTONES.

I thoroughly appreciate their rustic charm (though definitely when not wearing heels).

6. .GREENSPACES.

9. .PUBLIC LIBRARIES.

10. .ABUNDANT CONCERT VENUES.

Being close to so many venues provides limitless access to live music. Tonight, I spontaneously up and went to Greg Laswell’s show at Berklee College with one of my favorites. We got to chat with him after the performance. He is extremely talented, funny, and down to earth.

Hope everyone had a beautiful Tuesday!

There Were Gardens And Trees And Balloons In The Sky

I am saddened to inform you that balloons are now officially an endangered species. The planet’s helium reserves are being depleted so quickly, that it’s probable supplies could be depleted in as few as eight years! This development is just one more way the world is starting to pay for its past unsustainable habits. But really, in all unseriousness, our helium indulgences must be used sparingly. What’s a birthday going to be like without at least one floaty balloon?

If you don’t believe me, here’s some proof.

Peace,
