Champagne and Sparkles

1016715_636478654797_458171614_nToday begins the first of my birthday celebrations. Being a Leo means my birthday is more like a birthweek and all of my most special friends must participate in the madness. Since I will be off exploring the West Coast on my actual birthday, I am headed out for dinner and drinks tomorrow evening. I’m looking forward to lots of birthday cake frosting, shimmery dresses and pretty glassware. Plus, laughter and love with some damn fine friends.

A few links to brighten up your Tuesday – there are so many lovely summery things to be grateful for this month like parks and books and Woody Allen movies (and that the heatwave is finally over!).

Happy week friends!

The trailer for the new Woody Allen movie ‘Blue Jasmine‘. He’s released a film every Summer for the last few years and enjoying his neurotic conversation alongside bevy of celebrities has become a bit of a Summer tradition

Michael and I discovered Brooklyn Bridge Park this week – we explored Piers 5 and 6 and my are they something! We played Volleyball on the real sand courts and kicked a soccer ball around with a view of Manhattan. We’re going to try and enjoy their pop up pool this week! Brooklyn, you never fail to win my heart.

I just bought How Should A Person Be? by Sheila Heti. I’ve been eyeing the novel all summer and I’ve bought it as my vacation read. I finished the first prologue on the subway home and have already found myself intrigued and bemused.
