¡Olé! is a great way to spend a saturday.

our first themed potluck was a smash success..full of flowery hair+flamenco inspired flair. though yet again (really becoming a habit-oops), i was having too much fun (+cava sangria) to document the evening..but we sure had a blast.

everyone brought something absolutely delicious to eat-handmade chorizo by ben, quail egg chorizo bites by sam+patrick, fried balls of delight by cedez, meat cakes by katie, ceviche by adam+claire, chocolate bites by angela, ice cream sandwiches by elizabeth, serrano wrapped asparagus+vegan dip by turner, citrus rice by george+dana, a chickpea pleasantry by chris+rachel, and mi senor whipped up a few delectable tapas including homemade tortilla, pinxto atun, croquetas y pan tumaca..while i love eating food, i am certainly not known for my kitchen skills..so, instead of whipping up a tapa, i focused all my energy into fashioning a cava sangria. (which i'd say was received very well+is certain to be on many menus to come!)

muchas gracias amigos...you are undeniably the best.

we've been talking about having lunch for so long, we finally got dinner.

+a splendid dinner at that.
j money+i polished off a bottle of rose (the first of the season:) +ate the most divine steak at el almacen.. (where i'd never been but am certainly going back!) then made the rounds on the south side with a stop at the woods followed by a night cap at diner (word to the wise-don't attempt to keep up with marissa+wiley with the fernet branca-you will feel a bit like dying the next day.)

i fell hard for the magnificent earth pounding.

these days, the words drum and circle in combination rarely hold much appeal..but last weeks loomstate/pamela love/spoke visuals MAGNIFICENT EARTH situation was absolute perfection. hell, i might even go as far as saying it was my favorite fashion party i've attended..ever? in no small part, because it attracted not just the usual fashion cuties but also a slew of my favorite musically inclined buddies.

now, as has lately been the case, i was too busy getting groovy (with some favorite babes of blogtown- kat, elizabeth, and laia) +seeing all my aforementioned friends-to stop+take any fotos of the actual (40 drummer!) circle...

but just before we left, i remembered about this here blog+the whole foto-thing-that-i-do, so, i snapped these few shots in the hallway on our way out...

so, in conclusion, can we do this again?
i liked it very much.

whilst he watched the kites, i introduced him to mister softee.

what a nice spring sunday..
it began at the brooklyn flea on the hunt for vintage planters or wooden boxes. i left empty handed with a full belly and a new obsession for the absolutely delicious red hook lobster pound lobster roll. the rest of the afternoon was spent with the adorable little man + my favorite brother on a park slope playdate .. +the evening was passed at jelly+dudes fun friend-filled barBQ in greenpoint.
