beehives and houndsteeth

good morning, afternoon, or evening, depending on where you may be! i am sipping my cold cup of coffee and lamenting that it's already past noon in new york. how did that happen? i guess a flurry of office work this morning made the early hours fly by.

anyhow, how was everyone's wednesday? i came home and sam had picked up a bunch of veggies, so i decided to use the leftover pork from the scotch eggs and make some bibimbap. we both loooove korean food - we have our place that we go to up in midtown that's so popular the line goes all around the walls of the place, and there's a little intense woman who comes around and takes your order while you're still waiting to be seated. their bibimbap puts mine to shame, but i have to say, it wasn't half bad.

i've been making us juices to go along with dinner this week; i came to the startling realization that i drink alcohol nearly every night, be it a glass of wine with dinner or a beer when i get home. i'm making a conscious effort to cut that out. it can't be healthy.

and today! i've had these pants for some time now, but their length is such that they really have to be worn with flats, and i really only have flats in the form of sandals, so i've been saving them for warmer days. (i do wear them around the house a lot, because they're so comfortable, so they've actually been dry cleaned TWICE before i've worn them in public. i'm a spaz that way.)

shirt: j crew
pants: asos
scarf: thrifted

shoes: cole haan outlet

the new york times had a tutorial a few months ago on how to do the beehive; now that they have a pay-wall, though, it seems to be unaccessible. there are plenty of youtubers, i'm sure, who can guide you through it.

back to the grind for me!

  14. So Twiggy I absolutely adore it! I try not to drink any alcohol on the weekdays. I was living in NYC for some time and pick up the habit of drinking a glass of wine or beer or a cocktail every night. My wallet whispered a faint thank you when I stopped that.
    Cheers,
    Bre
