Le vie de B

Well hasn't it been a while! I've seriously neglected this little outlet and have been needing some blog nourishment lately. I miss the down time at work to search for good recipes (not that I ever cook any of them), inspirational outfits and little luxuries I can't afford. I figured with the coolness of November coming through, there's no better time to sit with a cup of tea and blog <3

Here's some things catching my eye this week:

Top to bottom: Bass flats, Club Monaco leather driving gloves, City Bakery (amazing!), Tracey Reese boots, Bon Iver

Two years ago I would have never agreed that Jake Gyllenhaal was handsome but man, does he get hotter with age? What a lucky woman whoever gets after that....

Clockwise: Fauna zebra pillow, Vogue Italia, Kenneth Jay Lane bangle, Karla's Closet, John Derian tray, Anthropologie Wonderlust Journal, Kate Spade iphone cover, Volcom tote

Made me laugh.....

It's definitely been a rainy couple of days in the city. In need of a little sunshine (and a tan) here are some things that have brightened it up my week a little, including my kick ass leopard umbrella!
Colorful Toy Watches... I'm on a watch kick lately, just got myself a beautiful white one for the summer. Would love to add an orange or blue to the mix

Emmy's raw and vegan macaroons - the chai are the best!

Congrats to William and Kate! Check out these hysterical tea bags on Pylones

A few cutouts from the Pottery Barn catalog....

Gotta love dark and handsome. Thank you Mr.Grenier

Obsessed with this olive green trench from Burberry

This past Sunday I took a candle lit yoga class at Yoga To The People in St. Marks Square. YTTP is a donation based studio that lives by a rare manifesto - " no correct clothes, There will be no proper payment, There will be no right answers ... no pedestals.” The class was hands down the best vinyassa class I've taken in the city. I got a spot right up front and was quickly surrounded by another 50 people (in the picture above the students are in rows of 6, we had 9!!). Our mats might have been 3 inches from the next person. Thinking this was going to be a little claustrophobic, our teacher guided us through an hour flow series but allowed us to adjust the postures to our own practice and at the same time kept us as one flowing unit. I'm offically hooked. I left with a nice sweaty glow and loving everything that this place offers.

After class, I saw a girl wearing a pair of harem pants and don't know why I've never thought of that before. Typically I'd think the low slung crotch was rather unflattering but these were adorable on her. The ones above are from Athleta and unfortunately they are sold out in my size. I now have a new mission.... I figured on a Sunday morning this outfit is much cuter than my standard oversized sweatshirt and jeans to make my first coffee run of the day. And yes, there are several....
