Through My Lens : On Instagram

April seemed to breeze by but somehow May felt like it passed even quicker. It was a good month and I might have gotten out more if not for my allergies going crazy at times. Here are some highlights of the month which have been previously posted on Instagram. This is just 13 of 47 photos I posted in the past month so to see more please click on over here. And you can always follow @rolalaloves. I promise I don't spam and I also don't post every single photo from each of my blog posts cause that's kinda spammy as well. The above photo was taken at the Time Warner Center. I thought the green marble floor tiles there looked like water and this juxtaposition almost made it look like I was standing on a ledge over it.

Some real water... a lovely view of the Hudson River from the Battery Park City Esplanade which is one of my favorite places to hang during the warmer months.

The cherry blossoms came and went in the city pretty quickly. Always makes me a little sad when they fall but it's so pretty at the same time.

The Flatiron Building in Chelsea. I used to live in this neighborhood and still miss it sometimes.

I attended a brunch with Woman's Day magazine at the very photogenic Hearst Tower which was the first green commercial high-rise building in the city. This was one of the projects we DIY'ed while I was there and we also learned how to make body scrub.

A view of the Empire State Building lit up in red, white and blue in honor of Memorial Day.

The One World Trade underpass looks so cool and futuristic.

A few cool watch styles from the Timex Fall 2015 collection preview.

A cherry blossom macaron from Takahachi Bakery. The taste was quite delicate and similar to a rose macaron.

Artichoke Basille's margherita pizza is probably one of my favorite slices in NYC.

The sabich platter and falafel sampler at Taim Falafel never disappoints.

On the home cooking front, Korean Jajangmyeon (black bean noodles) is a dish that I learned to make years ago cause we would see it in Korean dramas and it always looked so good. I hadn't made it in awhile but husband recently requested it and this was so tasty. I really need to learn to make the Chinese version as well. Here is my recipe btw.

I always love peony season and Coral Charm peonies are my favorite lately!
