Spring Style & Cherry Blossoms in Brooklyn

April 24, 2017 by Mishka No Comments

Spring is finally here! My brain is a veritable explosion of boozy brunches and cherry blossoms! Also? I’ve officially put away my winter wardrobe.

It was a relatively mild winter in terms of snow storms and such, but it felt so, so long, and there’s just nothing as amazing as seeing the flowers and leaves pop into view after months of grey.

It’s been a long time since I did an outfit post, too, so I thought the onset of this delightful season would be the perfect time to share a few of my favorite recent finds.

Here’s what I wore over the weekend when I was traipsing around my nabe and stopped for an iced chai at Brooklyn Kolache.

Photo Diary: A Fancy Spring in NYC

March 29, 2017 by Mishka No Comments
rose all day - cat eye sunnies - brooklyn postcards - spring in new york city

Just a few postcards from New York Cit-ay!

This week I did some sketching, got glittery nails, toasted the end of winter with some bubbly rosé, wore my new cat-eye sunnies everywhere, and soaked in the sights and sounds of this crazy place I call home.

I also got a new necklace, which I fell in love with and then promptly broke. Story of my life.

What are YOU up to this week?

After every 3,000 words we write, Krystal and I have a cocktail. It’s called motivation!

Ways To Welcome Spring

March 25, 2015 by Mishka No Comments
paloma ny - hey mishka

Pretend it’s summer and wear toe rings. Decorate your desk with bright springy office supplies. Treat yourself to a Paloma cocktail after work.

DIY a pretty pastel accessory. Fill the wine bottles you emptied all winter with fresh flowers. Get an at-home hair color refresh.

Update your Etsy shop. Burn some delicious incense. Explore new neighborhoods.  Learn a new language. Buy some bright, colorful shoes to frolic in…

The Empire State & Spring Style

May 2, 2009 by Mishka No Comments

Metallics are the ticket! Nothing makes an outfit pop like a few hints of silver, gold, and bronze. I bought a necklace and bracelet set to go with my new metallic sandals. Once you start piling on those glints of light, it’s hard to stop.

I finally saw the view from atop the Empire State building the other night. It totally blew my mind. Highly recommended, even if you’re a total New Yawkah.

I also got some cool new white heart shaped frames on St. Marks! Score.

Officially prepared for Spring…

Seasons in the Sun: Spring In NYC

April 27, 2009 by Mishka No Comments

Friday was a flawless weather day. One of the rare days NYC sees between Winter and Summer that passes for Spring. 80 degrees and sunny! It was the perfect opportunity to have a long overdue friend date with my lovely Hannah.

Instagram post 2188645102368681488_31257367 I've been sketching and water color painting for days after months of not feeling inspired. Maybe because there are so many other things I *should* be doing? 🤐🖌️

Such a great way to start the season as opposed to buying a bunch of stuff you don't need.
