(I finally had the time to run over the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan from my apartment - something so wonderful about running over a bridge)
Today I am starting a new decade, yikes, I turn 30! I have been a little hesitant to kiss my 20's goodbye, as when I was younger I thought, wow, 30 is so old. I guess that is true about any age though, but really, all age is just a number and it is really how you feel and luckily, I still feel like I am twenty-two or twenty-three. I am excited about the future! I hope that everyone has a great weekend!

(Made my way into Mast Brother's Chocolate - if I could have only eaten the air. Everything is made in their Brooklyn shop. I love how they had burlap bags of cacao sitting around waiting to be used)
(Choco Bolo just might be my new favorite cafe, if only for the decor - tufted seating, mirrored tables, perfection)
(An all white bouquet with hydrangeas, calla lilies and roses)
(Enjoying a cappacino with a friend at Sweet Leaf in Williamsburg)
(I once said that my favorite chocolate chip cookie in the City is from City Bakery, but I changed my mind - Levain Bakery on the Upper West Side serves the most amazing cake-like cookies. The cookie that I had just came out of the oven, it was heaven)
Happy Birthday & Welcome to the 30's!!!! ;) I love the movie 13 going on 30. Have you ever seen it? Very cute! xxoo

Alison, I know how you feel. When I turned 30 and I had to leave my 20's behind I was pretty melancholic too. However, now I am 31 and got pretty used to it and they still tell me I look like in my mids 20's hahaha. Have a wonderful birthday Alison, I hope you celebrate it with your loved ones.
