Parents and I also stopped by the Bronx Botanic Gardens for the Dale Chihuly installations while they were in town! FYI-NY residents and people with student IDs get discounts, and the gardens are accessible by transit. It's always nice to get off the island for a while, and this is a pretty inexpensive day trip! The entire outfit is thrifted here, minus the sunglasses (from Brooklyn flea).
Took my parents to Bushwick (a neighborhood in Brooklyn) a few weeks back while they were in town! Grabbed some local beers at The Well and KCBC (a beer bar and a local brewery, respectively), followed by phenomenal Ethiopian food at Bunna cafe. The graffiti in Bushwick is amazing; it's an incredible mix of tags, scrawls, profanity, and intricate artwork. The resulting colorful walls and pull-down industrial doors make up one of the most aesthetically interesting free walks in the city, in my opinion (and now I'm wishing I'd snapped more photos for this post). I'd written a long post about gentrification, but Tumblr ate it--probably for the best, given that I don't think anyone really wants to hear the probably-subconsciously-defensive ramblings of a trying-to-be-woke white girl re: gentrification. Instead, I'll link you to a fantastic series I found by the author of "The Brooklyn Wars" about the history of Bushwick and how gentrification has warped it. My voice is not the most important one in this conversation. http://gothamist.com/author/Neil%20deMause Outfit is almost completely secondhand! Skirt, bag and jacket are thrifted; Doc Marten Clemency boots are one of the best trades I've ever gotten at Buffalo Exchange.

A little late posting this. Spent yesterday evening not feeling too hot (well technically, I was in fact, entirely too hot. I hate fevers). I did however manage to squeeze in two movies and brunch before my body decided to become a raging inferno; Blue Valentine (BEAUTIFUL, but oh so depressing) & The Social Network.
Love AMC's $6 movies before noon! I indulge way too often as a result.
