Nitza Tufino

This week I had the privilege of meeting the artist Nitza Tufino. Her work can be found throughout New York City and is inspired by her commitment to Social Justice.

Here's a few things I plan on checking out tomorrow night:

F&N Gallery Presents: je ne suis pas un objet

A great little vintage shop.

And who doesn’t love pizza?



I hope to see you there! :)

Thinking Locally

I'm trying to put more thought into buying locally and how other options affect my body and the environment.

A blog and a movie about less impact.

And I also plan on watching this film about what we eat.

A flower I bought at a local Farmer's Market.

Thrift Finds

I recently found two pairs of shoes at a thrift store that are still being sold for full price! 

These Margie White Sandals for $3.

(Bass Shoes $39)

And a pair of Kimchi Blue Patent T-Strap Skimmer for $2.

(Urban Outfitters $28)

Polaroid Week

Did you know that it’s Polaroid Week? I didn’t until I read about it here. I remember as a kid being so excited to watch my image appear. I don’t think our generation ever lost it's love for Polaroid’s.

The next generation of Polaroid cameras

The Rocket Cat

I’ve been to the Rocket Cat way too much in the last week but it ends up always being the perfect spot to meet up and grab a cup of coffee in the neighborhood with a friend. I also love a good bagel and veggie cream cheese.

On the side of the shop you can now find a mural by Shepard Fairey who also happened to design the poster for Obama’s campaign.
