Tomorrow I go to Iceland! So, there's going to be a mini-hiatus here, coinciding with the actual official "end" of this blog. I'm going to post pictures of the final four days of the last year of my twenties when I'm back and - gasp - thirty. Stay tuned or maradjon velünk - ha, I'm totally finishing these posts in Icelandic from now on.

My book group got me a birthday cake! That's 'cause they are a totally awesome book group.

Spa-zombie of the highest order. (Also: after the spa we saw a little fluffy white mini-poodle that only walked ON ITS HIND LEGS! It hopped along with its man while on a leash and then hopped up the stairs all on its back legs. It was hilarious, moderately creepy, and fascinatingly weird.)

Figs! (This is kind of a gross picture, but they were still delicious.)

I would have had a picture of Nina Garcia, fashion editor for Marie Claire magazine (imagine me saying this in Heidi Klum's voice) but my phone bit it just as she arrived. Instead I give you Lindsey with sardines.

Italian-pride building on my block.

It was only well after I took this that I realized it's Jim Morrison. Wait, it is, right?

It's really only a matter of time before I own this shirt. I've been pining for it for at least three years.

Bird's nest pasta (really pesto bowties with broccoli and green beans topped with a poached egg).

Happy birthday to my grandmother, Mary! (and a Banksy, or a faux-Banksy?)

My dapper ward for the evening.

Ok, so there's a little bit of cheating in this photo because I didn't actually take it. But I directed and costumed it, so it counts, right? Plus it's so awesome how could I not use it?!

The goofball abides.

This rocking chair is pretty modern looking to you, don't you think? Well guess what: it was designed and made in 1851! And this specific chair was exhibited at the 1856 Worlds Fair in London.

This post goes out to Jess and Adam who are currently living it up in Sydney. Motorino misses you and is bringing their a-game with aged mozzarella, basil and heirloom tomato pizza in the hopes of luring you back to the states as soon as possible.

Kind of lame street art, but the actual blue-green-turquoise color was fantastic!
