This collection of pop-up art from Daisy Lew features some of New York’s most iconic scenes. I love her 3D depictions of the Big Apple, the taxicab and the Chrysler Building — each replica offers a cityscape view from both the top and the side. And there are more scenes to choose from! What an innovative way to celebrate New York.

I’m back! My dear readers that live in New York, did you survive the heat wave last week? It looks like the humidity is arriving in the city a bit early this year. As a result, I can’t stop thinking about the beach! But if I can’t go swimming, the photos above are the next best thing. I love photographer Julie Chamton’s colorful ocean shots from Egypt (images 1 and 3), not to mention Marc Loyon’s photo of San Sebastian in Spain. Talk about serenity now. What’s your favorite beach in the world?
More beaches here and here and here.

One glimpse at this photo and I’m willing to bet we’re thinking the same thing: that’s one heck of a view! I’m not sure where it was taken, but the lush and rolling hills in combination with the cloud cover make me wish I was there. This week is a busy one for me, so I thought this photo would be the perfect way to ease into it. Unfortunately, as a result of my schedule, I have to take a brief break from my blog. Don’t worry — it’s a short one! I’ll be back on Monday next week. In the meantime, here’s to an interesting week ahead, filled with lots of surprises, and fun!

Happy weekend dear readers! This four-day week has flown by. I’m not only thrilled that it’s Friday, but also that the weather in New York has had a change of heart — it feels like spring again! What do you have planned for the next couple of days? Matt and I are considering going to Coney Island for the first time. Have you ever been? If you have, I would love any recommendations for can’t-miss rides or games to play. Here, to get your weekend started right, a few happy posts from around the web:
Summer eyelash trends.
Cute idea: hair turbans!
What I’m reading this weekend. (This too!)
This photo makes you wonder — what lies beneath?
An efficient salad bowl. (And a recipe to try.)
Bring back the ice cream social!
The perfect motto.
A strawberry scent.
Because a little enthusiasm goes a long way.
Gold flats.
Beautiful coastlines.
The summer of sax.
Visiting Sweden anytime soon? Make a reservation to stay at the Treehotel, an eco-friendly resort set deep in the forests of Harads. Each “room” offers a bird’s eye view of the region and a unique opportunity to experience nature from the comfort of your own room in the sky. Although there are seven Tree rooms available to stay in, my favorite has to be the Mirrorcube. Accessible by rope bridge only, the exterior is all mirrors, designed to create a perfect reflection of your surroundings so you can just blend in.
What do you think? Would you stay at a place like this? I love the added sense of adventure it brings! I’m curious — does it remind anyone else of the computer game Myst?
