My traditional Sunday breakfast; banana pancakes with blueberry jam. Homemade pina coladas from the scratch; fresh pineapple, banana, lemon and some rum.

Traditional Saturday lunch at our favorite Korean restaurant. Hanging out at my sister-in-law’s with her million kids. Ok, some of those are her friend’s kids… Enjoying Pina Coladas in front of the fireplace. So exotic. Chilling with Miina in bed.

Great Thai food straight from the Thai Elephant Truck on my way home. I don’t have time to cook. Except on the weekends. But then I’m allowed to be lazy. I enjoyed lunch outdoors. How crazy is that. It’s January and I was not even cold. And I get cold very easily. Had wonderful dinner home made dinner at my friend’s gorgeous loft in Chelsea. She is a fan of Finnish design. Stayed in a hotel in Manhattan on Sunday night. Just because. I’m so not a fan of sleeping out. Love my bed and my home

kirppiksilla Brooklynissa…

Last weekend we decided to venture out somewhere not so familiar and leave the island of Manhattan behind. Just a few subway stops away, right across the East River, there’s a hipsterville, also known Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It houses many old industrial warehouses that have been turned in to eclectic stores, cafes and restaurants.

We started our day with a lunch at Wild Ginger that serves vegan Pan-Asian food. Delicious. See all that food on my plate? That was Malaysian curry stew and very reasonably priced under ten bucks. And that big glass of ginger ale made with real ginger. So refreshing.

With our bellies full and happy we started walking around and searching for treasures. Beacon’s Closet opened in 1997 and now has three stores, two in Brooklyn and one in Manhattan. I found some pretty awesome, unworn looking shoes here for $13. I will introduce you to them later on, but I can tell you they have wild pattern…

Artists and Fleas is a weekends only artist, designer and flea market where over 60 independent artists, designers, stylists, vintage collectors and food makers come out to play, shop and sell. Lots of unique jewelry and clothing.

After we had enough retail therapy it was time for a rewarding cup of something warm. The Surf Bar invited us in with the offer of hot glogg. How amazing! It was pretty cold day so that was just the perfect end to it.
