  1. i found spring!

    April 19, 2011 by Alessia

    Two huge white cherry blossom trees greeted me as a stepped out of my building today. It’s warming up and my ankles have even been on display a few times this month. I know I still have a few more weeks before I can bust out my rompers but these being in full bloom give me a glimmer of hope for warmer weather : )

    There is nothing like freshly cut bangs.

  3. My wall

    March 28, 2011 by Alessia

    There are a few things that get me through my day. Two major ones are my calendar and my checklist. Being a planner girl from a young age I have made the decision to go completely electronic in 2011. No more paper planners, no more post-its. It’s been a fairly easy transition even though it has me anxiously triple checking my iPhone multiple times a day because the mind reinforcement of pen to paper vanished. Also gone is the accomplished feeling of scratching off a big “to do”, you know the one that was written over and over again on the top of every weekly page *ahem, taxes*.

    So in order to still have eco-friendly reminders to myself I have a mirror shaped chalkboard wall decal on a wall in my room. On this wall I have framed pictures of people, places and images that inspire me. It’s my favorite thing about my room. I look at it every morning and smile. Especially when there is a big “to do” is crossed off. I tend to leave it up there a couple days before erasing, just for an extra pat on the back. It’s all about the little things.

  4. I need a trip

    March 23, 2011 by Alessia

    70 degrees on Friday. 39 degrees tonight. Snow tomorrow. What is going on? I thought it was supposed to be spring?! I’m feeling adventurous and itching to go on a trip. Going through my pics from my last tour and found this awesome shot from Niagara Falls. Don’t know if I’ll get that far anytime soon but maybe just a nice bike ride in central park will do once the weather is nice : )
