“…on the impulse of winter midnight street / light smalltown rain”

So this is one DIY version of an Anthropologie sweater.I love the store— their attention to details and color is right on for me but I cant afford/justify spending 80$ on a cardigan.

I always look through the site and find myself thinking, “I could totally do that!” but I just never get around to buying a base cardigan, shirt, or dress. Think of all the cheap sweaters at Forever 21 or H&M that you can decorate!

Here is a link to my tutorial on how to make this sweater.

So I really, really love taking pictures on the roof of my building. I can see the entire NYC skyline… and the Hudson… and NJ. New Jersey is actually behind me in all these pictures.

This is Grant’s tomb– I see this out of my HUGE bedroom window. I keep thinking about that joke about who’s buried in Grant’s tomb…

Another view– in the upper left corner past that building is the middle of Harlem. I do my grocery shopping on the edge of Harlem.

Riverside Church + Grant’s Tomb. These make up my entire bedroom window view. I could not have gotten luckier in the bedroom window view category– I must have one of the best views in the entire city. No joke.

So I run by Riverside Church everyday… and I just realized it is the tallest church in the US, funded in part by Rockefeller… and Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, and Fidel Castro have spoken there. WOW.

I am SO lucky.
