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

new

alpaca & wool hooded poncho (with pockets!)

softest modal double layer tank/ long sleeve sweater
two pieces I picked up at the Helmut Lang Gryphon Theory that suckered me in on my way home from work a few weeks ago. so ready for fall to kick in so I can get back to light knits, leather boots, and lose the mosquito bites.

also, so ready for Labor Day weekend to roll around so I can go to this. been listening to this nonstop and it gets me so pumped.

oh yea, also new -I finally painted my living room this past weekend. two months into my lease. but you're still proud of me, yes?
there's even a lamp now. next up, furniture...

my life lately

has consisted of -

silly youtubes, wine and beer, street cart food, free hotdogs, house music, old friends, new friends, drunk texting, a new desk finally!, yachts, watskeburt, brunch food, tumblr, finally joining the rest of america and watched an episode of jersey shore. yuck.

oh yea, and east coast summer rain. I'm not a fan -please make it stop

swimming babies

Went down to King of Prussia yesterday for work -our first website photoshoot. It was fun being on set of the shoot, even though it was just for product shots, to organize it, coordinate things and have my opinion count. Everybody was super friendly (and SO chill. I was like, getting anxiety from having an actual sit-down lunch, hah) It's crazy how many people and how much time is needed for a photoshoot to run -especially since we were just getting started & had never worked with each other before. I can't imagine how long it would've taken doing the full deal -accessories, hair & makeup, a set more complicated than just a seamless backdrop... ah more anxiety. okay bedtime.

nothing to do with the above ramble, but here's a recent outfit --- the print on the skirt is what sold me -swimming babies with goggles and swim caps! winner.


F21 dress as top, Zara skirt, Penny loves Kenny oxfords, self-mixed nail polish

mexican wedding dress

Zara dress, H&M belt, boots from Nordstrom Rack
I went to Zara yesterday after work for the first time in a long long time and found this beaut on the sale racks! Love the back tie and the extra long length though I freak out about it dragging and getting disgusting while walking on our dirty NY sidewalks..

On another note, this has been my recent obsession.
My friend found it, don't ask me how.

I know, we're strange.

double 07

Blogging really hasn't been on my radar lately (well obviously) reading blogs, writing entries, even taking photos, they've all kind of fallen to the wayside over the past month but I don't really mind... it's a nice change of pace. It's definitely been a busy past month though -moving into a new apartment, becoming a full time employee at work (huzzah!), friends visiting, visiting other friends. It's all kind of happened so quickly that if it weren't for the 100 degree NY weather, I've barely noticed we're already deep into summer. Once you're out of school for the first time your sense of timing and where you sort of 'fit' in the year is all thrown off. ..seems to make time fly a lot quicker.

Anyways, just some things I'm loving lately...

summer fruits & two-toned nails

thrifted shirt, F21 tank & shorts, necklaces from Taiwan & H&M, Jeffrey Campbell booties, shoulder bag: gift, iPod nano
wearing shorts without being (too) sloppy.
NOT summer sweat though.

'self high-five machine' art display in Midtown (38th & 8th I think it was...)

these psychadelic roses Betsey brought into the showroom last week from her florist -- how crazy cool are they??? she called them 'Roses on Acid'

happy double 07 day! harhar I'm so witty...
