The Original Soupman

I used to love Seinfeld. Wait. What am I saying? I still love Seinfeld. Every time a rerun comes on, I still laugh along with the laugh track.

So, when my friend Lauren mentioned going to The Original Soupman for lunch and a Living Social instant deal occurred in the same week , I had no choice but to go. It was fate. It was time for: soup for me.

It was a short walk from work, I got severely confused with the immediate left departure, ordered the Butternut Squash, and was pleasantly surprised with the Lindt's chocolate, bread, and plum that accompanied this delicious soup.

The only problem? I'm addicted.

I hope everyone has a great Friday and has wonderful plans warming up this weekend!

Far From What I Once Was

This made me feel good today.

Funky Furniture

I think this would be very handy in NYC studios.



Explore without leaving the couch.



I didn't know furniture could have split personalities.



Clock? I'd waste so much time just trying to figure out the time.

Regardless. I love the innovation.

How is eveyones week? I'm feeling a tad overloaded with events, but I can't complain.

The very best today.

Just a little reminder...

Duck Boots

Maybe it's the farm girl in me, but I love duck boots.



8" Bean Boots ($89); Asos lace-up duck boot ($101); Lands' End duck boot ($70); L.L. Bean Signature waxed canvas Maine hunting shoe ($139); Bass Hadwin duck boot ($80); Tretorn Klipporone boots ($140).

Not Nutter Butters

When I think of Nutter Butters, I always think of my Great Aunt & Uncle. When they would pull up in their motor home for the summer, fresh from California, I was always excited for the unknown (and the Nutter Butters I knew were tucked in their snack cabinet.)

I think this is why I was excited to find this new recipe and possibly put it on the 2011 Christmas Cookie list.

Successful Saturday

It's all about snap shots. I always love this time of year and find myself bouncing from one place to the next.

This successful Saturday had me in the East Village for Dirty Martini's, Battery Park for an event and Brooklyn for late night.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend full of random, fun and beautiful surprises. You never know when that special snap shot will happen.
