Today’s weather forecast: via Gothamist:

“Bring an umbrella and don’t expect to see the skyline.”

After a weekend chock full of beautiful, mid-70 degree weather- cloudless skies and nights barely crisp enough for a sweater- today’s relentless pelting of rain stings worse than a bumblebee trapped in your Trina Turk two piece.

There’s just something about thunderstorms that makes me want to nest.

Preferably, in one of these cozy yellow kitchens.

 The combination of sunny mellow hues and light, white, wooden accents is the perfect antidote to a gloomy Monday. I can just imagine curling up in a chair, accompanied by a cup of ginger tea, six buttery croissants and the Times’ Style Section.

Because if I’m dreaming of a NYC kitchen large enough to eat in, I might as well add in a model’s metabolism.
