ny map journal...a series?

A project for myself once I get settled in my new place. Love the idea of framing my trip to NY with Matt last winter. Pending on whether or not it turns out the way I want it, I think it would be meaningful and colorful to have in an office someday, documenting all our trips in frames along the wall. Just need some stickers to make notes of where we went, where we ate, what we did...and date the month/year of our trip. Cheap too! I got my idea from the wedding invites above...! I'm thinking white frames for the maps, but wouldn't a coral-orange frame thrown into the mix be awesome?

roots

how many, how long

lemon

lemon. also loving this color lately. i feel like my preferences are sometimes color-dehydrated, and i need a little yellow to balance out the neutrals...love the bakers twine for diy valentines or invites?

cardboard-colored

How is cardboard sleek and stylish? I don't know. But I like it.

february is love.

Matt and I are making homemade valentines.

New York Poem

My birthday is two weeks from tomorrow. Christmas Eve is two weeks from Friday. Christmas is two weeks from Saturday. And New York, well, New York follows all of that craziness. How did it all come so fast?

I am going to New York after Christmas and I am still in awe of the fact. I probably will be until I land there, and then my awestruck-en-ness will continue throughout my whole trip. I am debating first, which camera to bring...mine, or my dad's. And I am debating what to pack, which is always the dilemma with traveling. I have gotten better over time.

Usually when I travel, I do a lot of lounging, and I think this trip will be the opposite- it'll have me on my feet quite a bit. Any tips? I will have to dress warm. And because I know I need to be somewhat fashionable in one of the most style savvy cities in the world, I ordered a J.Crew pea coat in my very favorite color for my time exploring the city. I can't wait for it to be delivered!
