Tess Giberson

This past Fashion Week I got to help out at Tess Giberson's SS2011 Presentation down in Chelsea. Soft leather details, a monochromatic palette, perfect layering, delicate but quirkly jewelry. Also really love how she worked in sheer gingham to lighten it up for spring. I would wear every one of these outfits all day everyday -the epitome of effortless chic.




didn't bring my camera... these iphone photos don't do justice to the details

food in philly

lesson learned - always get American cheese

Cheesesteak cart

pretzal & mustard

Right after our show Monday night (photos & post to come) I was on the train to King of Prussia (right outside Philadelphia) this week for work training. Stayed an extra night in Philly with my college friend to see the sites & eat. obviously. Cheesesteaks galore

Still sort of bummed I never found an 'I <3> Philly' sign to take a photograph with... I know, cheesy. but hey it's my city! hehe

trendy

under the sea silly bandz, Betsey Johnson temporary tattoos

What's trendier - designer fake tats or silly bandz?
guess I'm buying into both.

September 1

DIY old jeans, Urban Outfitters tube top, Jeffrey Campbell wedges, face necklace from New Orleans street vendor, random jewelry

I had a work call at 7:30 this morning regarding our company's new website. Basically what I've been working on the side for four months, and what has replaced my day job duties for the past month and a half. We've kept harping on "Launch Date September 1" so many times through every call and every meeting it's been drilled into my head ...and I can't believe Sept. 1 is actually here! Kind of crazy when it all came down to the time of the switch... just a couple buttons tapped on one side (with everybody on the call holding their breaths in anticipation) and it was all up!

Of course, we're still working on a million smaller issues which were deamed not 'launch priority'... on top of that we've got NYFW & Fashion's Night Out (and all the social media/ web marketing that comes along with that) coming up in a couple weeks too. I'm definitely looking forward to the end of the month when everything calms down and I have my evenings & weekends back. whew
