Missing summer tennis...

Wish I were... {reading}

Would love to really dig into my ever growing list of “to read” books. And am especially itching to get back into some fiction... Any recommendations?

Wishing you a happy (and hopefully less hot) weekend!

Wish I were... {drawing}

I took out my drawing pencils the other day to try my hand at some letter sketching (thanks to a challenge from The League of Moveable Type). It made me remember how much I love drawing, and the art classes I took during college and also during my time in Philly. One of my former teachers told me that I should try to draw for just a little while (even 15 minutes) every day. Right now I would settle for once every week!

Wish I were... {at Lake Cushman, Washington}

Another Everlane Instagram discovery for you today. I love the refreshing, peaceful feel of this photo (by @withhearts). With the awful heat wave blanketing New York City this week, spending some time on Lake Cushman sounds pretty appealing.

Wish I were... {in Cala de San Vicente, Spain}

I checked one major project off my work list yesterday, and while it’s not all clear yet, I feel relieved to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I've been missing the blog, so while I don't quite have the time for more involved posts, I thought I would share a few "wish I were" items until things really calm down. 

It’s full on summer in the city, and I find myself dreaming of many an escape. The image above is of Cala de San Vicente, Spain (Instagram shot by @dtpphoto, found via Everlane).

Wishing You a Happy Fourth of July!

Saturday fireworks, Princeton Reunions 2013

It’s been painfully quiet on the blog lately. I’m hoping that work will calm down in the next few weeks and I’ll be able to find some more time to spend here. In the meantime, wishing you all a wonderful and safe Fourth of July!
