over the weekend i had what was essentially a “day” trip to new york; so short lived but a lot of fun nonethless. a friend now living in new york brought me to an area i’d never visited before, dumbo. its in brooklyn, right between the manhattan and brooklyn bridge, and is an annoying-tourist free zone! in i walked to an extremely well curated boutique called modern anthology, fully stocked with menswear (which girls do not deny buying), housewares and furniture. for the love of vintage, there was also a pop-up shop from brklyn dry goods. i stayed a while to smell the candles, and then stayed even longer to have a chat/become twitter buds with the extremely friendly staff!
