This fall, I’ve been inspired by women wearing monochrome looks (mostly black, brown, grey, cream, and white)…

Jacket, T-shirt, jeans, flats.

So, I tried my own last night — just added a chore jacket because it was chilly. Please ignore the giant shoes that my teenagers never put away!

Bodega flowers always make me smile.

On Sunday evening, we went to Jane’s Carousel…

And I loved this pic of Anton and his friend doing a secret handshake, while his friend’s little sister took a photo of the Brooklyn Bridge. NYC kids!

I was in the world’s worst mood last Wednesday, but when I saw these smiling faces, it turned around. Female friendship is such a tonic.

Finally, my honorary niece Georgie wanting to be a big girl at a block party. She’s getting there! She’s even talking now!!!

What have you been up to lately? What glimmers have you spotted?

P.S. Five more things I noticed around Brooklyn (including a great T-shirt), and five things I noticed at a drinks party.
