by chance, i came across a post about how she got her start. as someone who loves procrastination so much, i dedicated a blog to that glamourous lifestyle, i found her post especially inspiring.
excerpt time!
"honestly, it's not for everyone.
to do it day in and day out ... you have to love it.
but if you get it right, it can be extremely rewarding."

seasonal
local
organic
sustainable
these little words, i get.
but
seasonal?
i can feel smugly superior like i'm doing the right thing by making smart food choices, but something i'm embarrassingly uneducated about is when fresh produce is actually *in season*
it's time to change that, beginning with what's left of april.

yummm.

i make this as a side all the time.
so tasty.

about beloved new york times
photog bill cunningham

from zeitgeist films:
the “bill” in question is 80+ new york times photographer bill cunningham. for decades, this schwinn-riding cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends and high society charity soirées for the times style section in his columns “on the street” and “evening hours.”
if that doesn't convince, mayhaps queen anna herself can:
'we all get dressed for bill'
