Dear Winter,

You might be pretty, but you can suck it.

Love,

New York City

Mustachioed Marauder Loose at West 4th!

I know. This is the second time I am writing about the mustache guy in a week or so. But that's because, on my way to dinner at 10 Downing this week, my iPhone and I spotted these fresh 'staches in the West 4th subway station.

However, what is usually a delightful discovery for me is now turning into...something else all together. Case in point: if you compare the handwriting in these photos with some of the ones in this earlier post, things are starting to look a little...hairy. Yes, ya'll, get ready--it seems that it's NOT the same person mustaching these innocent ads across our fair subway system. If you ask me, I've started collecting solid proof that there's...at least two mustachers.

Clutch the pearls--it's a mystery! And so deliciously appropriate for a fake mustache!

(I'm on the case, folks. Your children are safe.)

(Also, you're welcome for all the dramatic use of ellipses and italics and exclamation points. Mysteriousness!)

(Yah ha! "Muffstache")

Another Sweet/Chic Shower

I've been to loads of baby showers in my time, and I may be biased, but I must say this: hands down, Southern girls throw the best ones. Even when they're throwing those showers in NYC.

This weekend, I attended a lovely lovely celebration for my lovely lovely friend Margaret, a fellow Southerner-in-the-city. It was an intimate, personal affair thrown by her two sisters (also transplants) and it offered up all the things I dig: fabulous food (check out that cake by Magnolia Bakery--BRILLIANT), beautiful flowers, champagne, slight Southern accents, and tiny clothing with the power to make the whole room coo in unison.

What warmer way to spend a winter's day? Congrats, Margaret and Norm!

(Yup. The bow is back.)
