K-Town in NJ

Fort Lee, New Jersey lies just outside of the Washington Bridge on the New Jersey side, and for the past 25 years a Korean neighborhood grew into amazingness. This Sunday I went to New Jersey to help find a dog a new home and as a reward we drove ourselves to lunch to Fort Lee to TCB Tofu House, who also has another outpost in NYC. We had the delicious BBQ ribs, Galbi, lunch special that comes with tofu soup and ban chan (side dishes). The side dishes included, fried fish, macaroni & ham salad, kimchi, assorted pickles. Its all absolutely mouth-watering.

After our delicious Korean meal we headed next door to the Korean Bakery Koryodang to fill up on tasty sweet treats.

A Productive Week

This past week I did a little home improvement and I made myself two skirts. The chair is a vintage mid-century modern Danish dining chair upholstered with ikea fabric. The skirt is a pattern from a Japanese craft book slightly altered in Nani Iro pretty polka dot cerulean blue. The second skirt is from a Built By Wendy pattern from her Sew U book in Heather Ross' super cute Strawberry print from her Briar Rose Collection that I purchased at Purl Soho. And the cute little non shelves are from Urban Outfitters. IMG_2001.1 polkadotskirt strawberry skirt IMG_1983

Le Corbusier

Le Corbusier, was an interesting but narcissistic man. A man obsessed with hygiene and an elites, but a genius non-the-less. I was lucky enough to see the body of his work this past Friday at the MOMA in NYC. His initial drawings are massive and crude, the work of a madman, but inspirational because you can see the every bit of the finished product in the insanity. His finer finished drawings and paintings are a marvel to see. The exhibit did not allow photography except for one or two things so here are a few shots taken from the MOMA and other Le Corbusier online collections.
