Haven’t updated in so long now, ooops. Sometimes life just happens, right? I have lots of exciting news, but first I wanted to share an exciting new thing happening every Saturday in Williamsburg. Smorgasburg is a big food fair (a Brooklyn Flea for foodies!) featuring what seems like a hundred different food vendors.

We got lobster rolls from the Red Hook Lobster Pound. I’ll stray from my mostly vegan diet any day for one of these heavenly buttery rolls.

We brought them down to the park right there, on the Williamsburg Waterfront, which has a killer-view of Manhattan.

I wore this new romper by Society for Rational Dress that I bought (second hand) at Beacon’s Closet the other day. It’s going to be one of my total summer faves, I just know it. So comfy and easy to wear.

Having always been a Brooklyn-girl, I always forget how nice it is on the West side on Manhattan, down by Battery Park.

After a matinee movie screening the other day, we walked over toward the water and discovered this lovely oasis — the Irish Hunger Memorial Garden.

I wore my new pair of pink pants, scored at (second hand store) Beacon’s Closet for $24.95. They’re so hot pink the camera doesn’t know what to do with them. This is sort of the true color, even though they look salmon-colored in the other shots.

What I love most about New York is that you can still discover new things, even after living here for so long. I’d never seen this part of Battery Park before. Beauteous…

Miami is one long Endless Summer, just what I needed last week. Then, when I get back to NYC, it’s summer here too, yay! Happy Memorial Day everyone, may this summer be warm, endless and filled with lots of picnics and backyard parties.

These new Minnetonka boots will be with me for a very long time, I just have a feeling…

I started the day with a great yoga class at Synergy on Española Way. Then, I had some yummy green juice and a mani-pedi before meeting up wtih a friend for lunch at The Standard, one of my favorite Miami places (more on that soon). Could get used to this…

When meeting up with friends for lunch in my old Brooklyn-neighborhood on Wednesday, I thought it was a great idea to bike there. Much better than the G train, right?!

Well, during lunch it started pouring and didn’t stop. So, as irony would have it, we ended up on the G train, with our bikes in tow. I’ve never taken my bike on the subway before, another NY-first to cross of the list I guess.

Once home, I changed out of my soaked clothes and into my cozy ones. Later, I decided my comfy western shirt could stay on and come with me to dinner…

I’m a little bit sad that my first week of freedom is all rain and grayness, but I am taking the time to read books and just chill. I’m also wearing jeans and hats like every day, since I couldn’t do that during those office-years. Yay!

Yesterday was such a nice and sunny day, I felt it was the perfect time to wear my new rainbow earrings for the first time.

Walking across the Williamsburg Bridge, it became clear that someone else was (or had been) in the same rainbow bright mood.

Rainbows make me happy. Life makes me happy. Time to get out in the sun!

I found this very cool vintage wicker bag at Beacon’s Closet a few weekends ago. Will be perfect for the many picnics this summer will hold.

I broke it in at the Japanese cherry blossom festival this weekend. I think this will definitely be a fave.

Yesterday we went to the Sakura Matsuri festival, Brooklyn Botanical Garden’s annual celebration of Japanese culture.

The cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Such beauty. Expect a flower photo bomb to hit this blog very soon.

Back in January, when I was in Hawaii, we were planning to go horseback riding.

Turns out we should have done the planning-part a little better, because all the rides were full.

Instead, we found this gorgeous path behind the horse ranch, where we made some new horse buddies.

At the end of the path was our reward: a pretty secluded beach.
