One Girl Cookies

This week I'm going to be sharing some highlights from my trip to New York, starting off with the culinary highlight: One Girl Cookies. This adorable artisanal bakery and cafe in Brooklyn was suggested to me by my reader Kara, who happens to be a food writer. Their entire space is filled with just the prettiest shade of turquoise. The cookies, cupcakes and baked goods were displayed so perfectly, everything smelled delicious, but I have to tell you, the chocolate cupcake I ate (with turquoise frosting, of course) was hands-down the BEST cupcake I've ever had. No lie. (And as this was our last day in the city, we'd sampled our share over Manhattan and Long Island!) The whoopie pie we had was DELICIOUS as well, soooo yummy. I highly suggest visiting this place next time you're in New York....well worth the trip to Brooklyn! Check out their website here for more info and some mouthwatering photos!

Also head on over to Mimi & Meg today where I am sharing a favorite holiday tradition of mine, in addition to a holiday gift guide. (I'm sure you won't be too shocked with some of my picks!) :)

Turquoise in SoHo

One of the neighborhoods we kept finding ourselves in while we were in New York was SoHo...so much going on there. I loved all the cute boutiques, including these turquoise head turners. Pearl River Mart had a lot of fun stuff, like the glowing turquoise Buddha I didn't know I needed. And just how awesome is that Tribeca Taco Truck?! I wish we had one of those in Minneapolis!

Michael Habachy

Atlanta based interior designer Michael Habachy sent Desire to Inspire a slew of images off his website that is currently being redesigned. I love this minimalist bedroom with such a chill vibe. Sadly, the rooms below are the ones I really want to see more of and I can't! They are just teasers of what to expect on the new website. I can't hardly wait! The nail salon is so dreamy and perfect in every way!

The Eclectic Curio Coffeehouse

I love the eggplant and turquoise interior of The Eclectic Curio Coffeehouse located in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. Recently opened in December, this coffeehouse not only serves up tasty drinks and treats, but the shop also features unique vintage, retro, and antique items for sale throughout the store. How fun! Check out their etsy shop filled with all sorts of their funky finds.
