today was one of those lovely and perfect new york city days. a walk through central park. coffee and grapefruit with a girlfriend in a midtown cafe with dark wooded walls and windows thrust open. lunch at the restaurant above my upper west side grocery mart of choice. a delightful chai latte from a new (to me) local coffee shop, the sensuous bean (go, go, go--it's such a lovely experience). and an hour of just sitting. on a bench on central park west. marveling at the green of the trees above and cool air that the threat of rain ushered in. it was a day of small and simple joys. one of those necessary days that just really fills you up.
here's hoping friday and weekend prove much the same.

you are beautiful. I've recently started following your blog and I'm twenty three and find you really inspiring.
I'm kind of in the same frame of mind about life as you seem to be. Trying to treasure and savour the small things and also excited about falling in love and one day meeting my husband.
I just wanted to drop a comment to let you know that you're gorgeous and I love your pics. I've got myself a wee canon camera too, and you've inspired me to start documenting my life a bit better.
All the best, and I hope this isn't too friendly haha xx
I love simple happiness! For me, mine is fresh air and realizing spring is in.
oh, isn't it all about these simple lovely things?! I do a Little Things post every Thursday and this just fits the bill! Link in if you'd like!

Meg you are stunning inside and out. whenever i read your posts i can't help but think how great of friends we would be. you are just a lovely person and enjoy the simple things in life just like me and i love that about you. i love new york in the beginning stages of summer are sooo lovely especially central park its perfect. :) xo
That sounds like such a perfect day :) Your photos really capture the essence of Spring. And your top! I want one! Nay..need one!
as you said a perfect day, walk, coffee, eat, good company (very important)... I´m a bit jealous
you're so pretty! i love days like that. simples pleasures! :) have a good weekend!
Oh, so jealous! That is how I love to spend my days off too. I think I could just wander, eat, drink coffee, and sit on benches in NYC every weekend if I had the chance. Glad to hear you had such a great day! That coffee shop is right around the corner from Lindsey (the girl I mentioned in my last comment too) but I have never tried it. I will need to go!
Happy Friday!
sounds like a great day! love that top.
thanks for stopping by the blog! http://lachapstickfanatique.blogspot.com
how fun! nothing beats good food and good company.
that sounds perfect. there's nothing better than those kind of days.
it sounds so nice and relaxing.
and on a completely random but very important note: you look like angelina jolie. and i am a teeny tiny bit jealous...
Walking through central park is such a lovely thing! Oh, and people watching - I could just sit and soak it all in for hours. Sounds like you had a fantastic time.
Thanks for checking out my blog. I'm following you now :)
Goodness, can I jump into that perfect day, please?
THIS is the kind of stuff that makes me want to visit the city.
that sounds like a truly lovely day. i'm glad you had a good time. those first two pictures of you are absolutely gorgeous! you are so beautiful!
I can literally SEE your contentment. Makes me really, really happy.
you are too pretty. :)
and yes any day that involves food is def. perfect!
That really does sound like a perfect NY day! I can't wait to try the Senuous Bean. I always seem to find myself in search of a good coffee shop in that neighborhood.
I don't know why I decided to make my first comment on this one post, but I finally got the guts :) (I guess you could call me a lurker. But that sounds far too creepy for my innocent tastes! Maybe just a silent reader!)
You are absolutely beautiful. Yes, very much so on the outside (maybe I'm biased because we have matching beauty marks...) but even more so on the inside. I am in college and struggled through high school with an eating disorder, and now, like you, am trying to understand being healthy without triggering that nasty little habit again.
Your words are very inspiring to me and it is comforting to have peers (even if its through cyberspace! crazy!) who are dealing with the same thing.
So, really in a nutshell after I've rambled, thank you for your words and sharing your thoughts and experiences. They have helped me greatly :)
So glad you had a perfect day (:
You are so gorgeous Meg!!
I am so so thrilled and inspired by your positivity, lately---by the way in which you are counting the sun's rays and treasuring them. Your descriptions of things---of simple, simple things---really inspire me to take note more. So I thank-you, sincerely, for that.
And as so many others have said---you are beautiful. And reading your words and seeing your thoughts emphasises that. It really, really is a beauty which stems from the inside and pushes outward.
I love, love visiting your blog. I always feel inspired and uplifted - glad you had a wonderful day. :)
the 'friend' also enjoyed the grapefruit and perfect day... here is to art, friendship, love and laughter!
love you xx
Sounds lovely. You look gorgeous in those photos. <3
spring always brings up a few perfect days - where the weather cooperates, and your hair and everything just falls into place. you day sounds truly amazing! :)
you simply glow, my dear. really and truly. care to share your secret, please? xo
so sweet... i notice how in these latest posts you are just beaming. it must be those moments just sitting in a bench at central park...
Oh I love days like this! Good for you to treat yourself to a wonderful, relaxing time. :)
Your blogs always make me so envious!
