HALLOWEEN PREP

Concrete Flower: 101030: Halloween Prep

Halloween is a good excuse to pull out a pearl necklace and one of those masks that are hiding in my closet

Even if you’re dressing up as one, vampire breath is never cool. So, brush your teeth, kids!

GREEN BOOTS

Concrete Flower: 101029: Green Boots

When I saw these green beauties on the shelf it was love at first sight.

Concrete Flower: 101029: Green Boots

I knew they needed to come home with me and be with me forever.

The color is even more amazing in real life.

Concrete Flower: 101029: Green Boots

Sam Edelman boots, from Nordstrom Rack in Union Square, $89. Pretty good deal. Probably the only green thing about them, though, is the color. One is allowed the occasional slip, right?

FALL IN FORT TRYON

Concrete Flower: 101028: Fall in Fort Tryon Park

Fall is looking amazing in New York right now. We spent Sunday strolling around Fort Tryon Park.

Concrete Flower: 101028: Fall in Fort Tryon Park

This is the last part of Manhattan where you can get a sense of the way the island looked before the Avenues and skyscrapers took over.

It’s way up-uptown, and you get a great view of the George Washington Bridge and the Hudson River.

Perfect place for a nap.

I have no idea what these crazy blue berries are, all I know is they’re gorgeous.

The perfect green wall.

I love the look of red leaves against a stone wall.

The cutest little beaver. I was watching him for a while and he did not seem scared, or move much at all. Good way to be.

Concrete Flowers.

The park is very filmic. How great would this spot be for the final kiss in a movie? We did see a couple about to get married. Love is in the fall air.

LATE NIGHT PHOTO BOOTH

Concrete Flower: 101028: Late Night Photo BoothThis was taken a few weeks ago, late at night after coming home from my friend Claudia’s birthday party. The pink lipstick is new, from a swag bag. I would never buy the brand (mark) but I feel that since I have it, I should use it. Wrong? The gunmetal gray metallic nail polish is at least ten years old, another one of those things I would never buy today (because it’s probably pretty toxic) but feel like I should use up. I quite dig the color, it’s very pretty and sparkly up close.
