post card: brooklyn

In light of Miss Sandy, I thought this post would be appropriate. Rp and I were supposed to be staying in the East Village for this short NY trip, but the storm forced us to pack up and leave (again!) and head to our friends' apartment in Brooklyn. So, we're hunkered down with water, flashlights, rice crispy treats, peanut butter crackers, champagne, and wine to ride out this storm.

I wanted to come back to Brooklyn, but not exactly under these conditions. 

I made all of these "post cards" one day in the van. Being in constant motion is great, but can also lead to some serious heartache for things you love. One of my last days in the van, I compiled a very incomplete list of things I miss:

Non Starbucks coffee

my girls

Reading Vogue on Saturday morning

Meeting for brunch after 1pm

Weekend mornings alone

YogaVida

Getting my mail

My printer

Small dogs

Vegan restaurants

Dinners that turn into drinks that turn into "Oh my God, it's 3AM & they are kicking us out"

Grape & Grain//Lychee bellinis

a routine

blaming lateness on the subway
my bed

Saturday afternoon college football games with friends who also wound up far from the South

Sunday night HBO + take out ethiopian food (while wearing PJs and a hoodie)

All of my clothes being in one place

Having more than 2 pairs of shoes

Simply walking outside to grab a cab

A book in the park

Complaining about how the neighborhood has changed

Really good Indian food

Delivery.com

Finding fashion inspiration on the streets and on the person next to you in the subway

my bodega

So, Sandy, lets go ahead and get this over with, OK?!? I'd like to get back to my regularly scheduled things.
