pinhole cameras made from vintage book bindings.

boutiques.

google has released its own version of shopping. and, of course, it’s awesome. it’s called boutiques, and i’ve already made mine. it makes comparing, finding specific styles, and window shopping so fun and easy! i highly recommend it. here’s mine:taylarose’s boutique

now it’s official: one of my favorite places.

bluefish.

i’ve recently been craving the coconut red curry tofu at blue fish. their edamame and hot sake is also delicious, and we’ve been enjoying the cooler nights outside on their little patio. it’s funny how places where the food is great, the service is terrible– endearing. i pulled a few paparazzi moves while someone was ordering.
