L.L. Bean Totes

My new L.L. Bean tote bag arrived today! I am in LOVE with her. I try to embrace the inner prep that is nestled inside in small doses. I find JCrew blazers and L.L. Bean totes are the perfect fix for my little high brow cravings.

The sturdy bag costs $20.95 (medium size with long handles) and the monogram (best fucking part) is only $6.00. The colors are standard but navy blue is best (I think).

Marvis Wins!!

Anyone that knows me well knows my obsession with the perfect toothpaste. I try them all - Jason (sea salt flavor), Marvis (peppermint flavor), Urtekram (fennel flavor), Kiss My Face (triple action aloe flavor), Boiron Homeodent (anise flavor), Solay Smile Tooth Powder (peppermint flavor), etc...The list and search has gone on and on...until now. I have found a winner.

MARVIS wins the gold!! First runner up is Urtkeram from Denmark. Honorable mention goes to Tom's of Maine (propolis & myrrh).

FREITAG

Happy Friday my friends! I'm running out the door to see Bad Adult play and stare at Kim Gordon. Tomorrow is filled with home improvements and painting my walls - yay! I finally selected colors and can't wait to see them.

Sunday is errands (boo), checking out some commerical real estate in Bushwick and then celebrating a friend's birthday (Happy Birthday Aaron!) downtown in the afternoon.

How much you want to bet I'm the only one at the book signing tonight lugging two gallons of paint with me? Gotta love NYC living...Oh, and the image above is from a fun drunken night at Botanica on 47 East Houston. It's the best dive in Manhattan with $2 PBR happy hour and the nicest staff behind the bar. God, I drag everybody there. I lurve it.

Enjoy your weekends and don't forget to call or hug your mothers on Sunday. I wish I could give mine a big squeeze.

Young Turks

NE Kingdom

I had the best salad with dates, clementines and walnuts last night at Bushwick's NE Kingdom located at 18 Wyckoff Avenue (L to Jefferson stop). It was incredible and perfect for the warm evening. The best part was also the paper place settings at the bar (when you order dinner) of the deerscape. God, how cute and adorable is this?

Thanks for the laughs and the beers Sam! NE Kingdom is the best.

Food Bazaar

Yes, you can buy aloe and cactus leaves on the sidewalk in Bushwick - on Wyckoff & Myrtle Avenues to be exact. Images above are from my stroll home last night.
