a voyage


a bar of MAST BROTHERS CHOCOLATE has once taken me to heaven and now this magnificent video, presented by THE SCOUT MAG has moved me to tears. when it got to the part where they talked about childlike sense of curiosity, about how you have to write your own story and "make it a voyage, make it an adventure ... and something beautiful, more than anything." i just lost it

asbury park. episode 2


michael fisher as samatha. blake kuchta as maranda. and fumi nakagawa as charlotte. carrie was not there yet

when john showed me these dune shoots he took, i screamed and laughed so hard cos this just reminded me of the abu dhabi scene in sex and the city 2

we also took the legendary jock model blake kuchta with us for the second shoot that day, he's all sunshine and goofy stuff, adorable

doing two shoots with twenty shots in one day was never easy, phew, but we were all having fun

carrie bradshaw joined the gang finally, cue the theme song please! crazy abu dhabi, lol! and just look at lil lucas, aw

affagato




the only one nice thing i can say about the FIVE LEAVES restaurant in brooklyn is, not the scene, not the service, not even the oysters, but their affogato with ice cream from il laboratorio del gelato, that goes swimming well with the expresso

moomah










there are certain places where magic can be found and all the troubles would be left behind, like central park or a carousel, and then comes MOOMAH. this cafe in tribeca is all about arts and crafts and coffee and croissants and child like sense of wonder ...
