Touring the Wythe Hotel
It feels like ages ago that I shot these on my Ricoh at the Wythe Hotel. The roll sat at home, undeveloped for far too long. I finally dropped it off at the photo lab last week. Back in early October, I went on a tour of the Wythe during the Open House New York weekend. Sharon was kind to invite me along, as she had an extra ticket. Many of you probably already know that the Wythe is a gorgeous new hotel in Williamsburg. I mean if I could model my dream apartment off one of these rooms, I would! From the amazing concrete floors (I WILL one day have concrete floors) to the marble tables to the warehouse-style windows to the mint side tables to the alluring wallpaper, I loved it all. Yes and yes. More, please.

The photos from outside are on the rooftop bar -- pretty damn nice views, eh? Part two to come.

A year older
Is it just me, or is December flying by? I rang in a new age on Saturday; for some reason, I feel great the days leading up to my birthday but my birthday itself is always, without fail, a roller coaster of emotions. To be honest, I can't remember the last birthday that didn't end in tears. Maybe it's just a day where reflecting on the year and feeling insecure about the next is naturally magnified. (Hopefully? Please tell me I'm not crazy.) It has been brought to my attention quite a bit recently that my online life, as portrayed via Twitter, Instagram, and my blog, looks pretty hunky-dory. And I know most of you know that isn't true at all, and that I've occasionally let slip my insecurities on my blog in the past. Trust me, there are MANY more that live in my head.
I'm not going to ignore the fact that I've been really, really lucky this past year. I've had amazing travels and equally amazing eats along the way. I get to pursue a job that I am passionate about and very much challenged by. I have supportive parents, friends and boyfriend. For all that, I'm extremely grateful. So why, for the love of god, do I feel so shitty on my birthday? I start to stress about things that are useless to stress over. For whatever reason, rational Alice goes in hiding on that day. For now, I'm glad that day is over. I've got too much to accomplish before the year is over to waste time being stressed and upset. Let me get off before I run my mouth and write something I'll regret later. ;)
Was the fog not ridiculous today?
