... all make winter a bit more bearable.

Until next year, yellow/orange/red

It's been awhile. I come back only to bid a fond farewell to a really lovely autumn season and all its colors. oh, colors! I will fill this studio with love again, soon. We are off to warmer climates (aka California) on Saturday. It was a really hectic November... tested out new waters and much to my surprise, found it enjoyable.

Cashmere Love

Cashmere is my newest addiction. I'm a little late to the game. I have been aware that it is regarded as essential, but I never really felt the urgency of shelling out $100+ for a sweater. Now I'm a believer for one sole reason: temperature control. It's amazing in making you feel warm yet not overheated. Brilliant for the extreme interior/exterior temperature changes during the fall and winter in a place like New York.

UNIQLO's cashmere sweaters are currently 20% off, which make them attainable for just under $70. Not the highest quality you can get but great for cashmere novices. Plus they've got any color you can dream of.

Playing hooky

Creepy weather for being almost November, but who's complaining? A couple photos of not-doing-work yesterday at Riverside Park by Iluminación luiseño.
