Tom & I did the 5 hour drive to Washington, DC to check out the Annual Cherry Blossom Festival.
It was my first time to DC so it was really fun to actually lay my eyes on the monuments I usually would see on the nightly news.
Super gorgeous weather (not too humid),
no rain,
friendly people,
cool hotel,
and awesome company.
The only negative: the 7.5 hour drive back to the city. Poor Tom, he drove both to and from NYC. What a trooper!

Pressed the wrong button in Illustrator and got a happy mistake. 
More of this print to come later...working on its coordinating prints :)
I'm having a hard time remembering what a good hair day looks like with all the rain we have been having. These pictures were taken just 2 weeks ago, on Spring, when I was in Soho meeting my coworkers, one beautiful early morning.
And while you and I wait for the 5th, go get yourself acquainted w/ Unclip.com. There's a video on the main page explaining how it works. It seems like a really great way to give your style opinion and get rewarded for it at the same time!
And thanks Ken for a great project!
Tom and I will be driving down to DC next weekend to check out the Cherry Blossoms. If any DC people have any recommendations for food, places to check out or places just to chill, let me know! This will be my first time in DC.
Looking forward to a weekend away!

Katie and I met up today for a late brunch at the Fat Hippo on Clinton St. in the LES.
We BOTH got the blueberry pancakes! They were de-lish, but service, just okay. I'm glad my company made up for it.
Heroic Herons Large Tray $8 from Gama-Go.
Nice color choices.

Found Em!
My Wiloughby Tennessee Whiskey Specs for $95 at Warby Parker.
All the styles are SPECtacular. Ha. I couldn't help myself. But seriously, all at $95 each, including lenses, and a free pair is given to someone is in need, I could buy a 3rd pair of glasses and not feel so bad.
I had described to Tom these awesome glasses that I had seen at a sample shopping trip at Short Hills Mall and he sent me a link to these Warby Parkers. Love 'em! These are going on my 'want-list.'
Jeeze Louise. Meg Hunt is such an inspiration. Check out her new wonderful screen print here.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
Wear some green!

Tom and I went to M&M world on Sunday. I think I had too much fun with that store.
My favorite M&M is hard to say. I do think the Yellow one is funny, but I also like the Blue and the Red. I must have a thing for Primary Colors.
This one stand like my mom with both hands on her hips.
Clever!
You sure do Red.
Tom can't make up his mind...The princess mix or Mini M&M's?
I got some St. Patty's Day Mix!
You should go to! But maybe on a weekday afternoon when the tourists aren't swarming.
This totally made my day! Eek. Thanks to photographer, Elizabeth Messina of Kiss the Groom! (it's a great blog, do go check it out!)
Reminds me of how cute my late grandpa was when we went to the pool together when we were teeny tiny kids :)
I'm working at my desk this weekend, which is a good thing, because this dreary rain looks pretty harsh to be outside right now. It's pretty big project, but really cool to work on these fun little illos. More to come!
I'm looking forward to enjoying sunny weekends come April and May!
I Love St. Patty's Day.
Maybe I should get this for our party next weekend? This could rock my world.
