37
I turned 37 at the end of last week. I don’t like a lot of fanfare (and I’m a pretty big fan of being anonymous, truthfully), and so it was with a quiet day in mind that I took the train to New York City for the day. My dear friend Nancy met me for a few hours, sharing lunch at City Bakery and a wander through ABC Home (where I would happily and quietly occupy a corner if it were okay...

Like Sisters
Tomorrow I head to St. Louis to visit with a friend who is like a sister to me. She is a sister to me, really. Neha and I met back in the late summer of 1995 as I helped her and her parents carry boxes into the dorm room that would be across from my own that year. We hit it off right away, but I had no idea all those years ago that she would become my touchstone in life, that one person who just...

The Great Gatsby
Several years ago I was on a long cross-country flight when someone next to me asked if I was reading what I was for school. I look young for my age, I admit, and was long out of school at that point, but I guess it was unusual to see someone reading The Great Gatsby for fun. I love that book, love the aura of the time in which the story is set, and always imagine the setting, the details....

Romina Bacci
I love being outdoors, particularly in the spring and summer. Few things make me happier than spending time on long walks, smelling grass that’s been freshly cut, seeing flowers bloom in their natural settings, playing in the ocean. Photographer Romina Bacci captures the essence of what I love about nature so well in her work, all of which is featured here. The light, the softness, the...

Pale Grey, Wood, White
Pale, grey, white, wood all capture my attention, my love, and this little collection of images, of things, of late is no exception. With few exceptions, riots of color are not what I gravitate toward; even back in college, a dear friend and I used to wax rhapsodic for our love for clean bright white walls, t-shirts, kitchens. Lily of the valley is my favorite flower, so ephemeral in its life with...

Spring Light
This week began rainy and chilly, but the past couple of days have been gloriously pretty, that perfect feeling of spring without the unavoidable humidity of summer. These images say spring to me. Hope it feels like spring wherever you are this weekend, too. Credits: 0/1/2/3/4/5

Pip-Squeak Chapeau
If money were no object, my closet would be filled with dresses from Pip-Squeak Chapeau. I have two beautiful white blouses made by the lovely, talented Sveta Dresher, the creator behind Pip-Squeak Chapeau, and if it were socially acceptable (especially in a school working with teenage girls!), I’d wear them, oh, every day. I’m a big fan of comfortable yet stylish clothing in linen and...
