New York City

Recently, I went to New York City with the Visual Arts Department at the University of Dayton. It is their annual trip to NYC to shop, museum hop, and to get away. It was only my 2nd time in the city and I fell in love once again. Although busy and crowded, I could hear the streets (and shops, literally) calling my name...We did the typical site seeing (Brooklyn Bride, Ground Zero, Central Park), museum hopping (the MET & the MOMA to name a few), hit the numerous shops the city has to offer. We ate lunch at the Chelsea Market, made our way to the Comic Strip, took a walk through SoHo, and ventured down to Canal Street & Little Italy. Here are few pictures from the trip.

Stumble Upon Addiction

The most adorable little victorian cottage ever. Sandra Foster turned a Catskills hunting cabin into the romantic Victorian cottage she had always wanted, using vintage columns, flooring and wavy glass windows, and doing the carpentry herself. This cottage is only accessible via a stone crossing over a stream.

A Little Beauty for Thought...

I just had the pleasure of visiting the Kate Spade outlet in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. It was amazing. Here is a little beauty for thought..Kate Spade advertisements.

Beautiful Shoes

Although I do love shopping, I find some items to be so beautiful. I found these shoes on http://www.unbeaujour.fr/, a new blog (all in French) full of beautiful pictures. Check it out and these awesome shoes from www.ASOS.com! They come in both colors.

Leaves

Recently I have become very interested in photographing leaves. I initially started this project through my color photography class and decided to continue it. I think it is important to notice the beauty that each leave holds and to consider its important meaning to our world.
