Air Wair

Recent favorite from FaceHunter. Great accessories, great proportions and Doc Martens, you can get her style boot in any color. Never been one for chunky footwear but I tried on a pair of Docs last weekend at Beacon's Closet and love the idea of wearing them unlaced paired w a mini and a T much like the lovely ensemble above. I'm wearing the mini ruffle/pleat skirt this summer, and wouldn't mind if I had one in stars and stripes. Just need some warm weather is all...

Lavender Inn

Sweet digs Mills Bills. <3 Who's dem pretty ladies?

Misdemeanor visits

My teenage-years gal pal came to visit this past weekend...we enjoyed boat rides, celebrity encounters, dance parties, art panels, shop shop shopping, street fairs, dinners and Gossip Topic drinks. A successful NYC weekend...See you in June Missy! <3

Dreamin' of long weekend brunch...

Lokal, is a great little aesthetically-pleasing mediterranean restaurant on Lorimer and Bedford. I enjoyed brunch there last weekend w two lovely gal pals Stacy and Emily. I recommend this place for Sunday brunch favorites or as I am told intimate dinners.

Circa Now

Thursday night fun* I'll be there...will you?

Pericolo

53st thrills

My typical stroll home involves regular celebrity sightings btwn the backdoor of Roseland Ballroom and of the David Letterman Show. A few weeks back, what's usually a crowd-battling annoyance-this time I was star struck for realz. Madonna and JT were practicing for their performance and one particularly generous security guard opened the back door for the five of us who had been drawn to the dirty bass heard on 53st. Inside were the two wigglin their thangs. AWESOME...at a level of much higher awesomeness than below. Props for the moves and special effects, but kinda a half assed job on the track don't you think? Regardless, Madonna you're one to admire, and you too JT.

Birthday Party Time

Celebrated at Antik (antique as opposed to my clumsy pronunciation antic) w sparklers, champagne and good company.

Pizza continued.

Joe's Pizza Carmine St. According to Ben Affleck, "this is the best pizza in the city." Well alright.

Print party...

American Beauty

My childhood neighbor and longtime friend Amanda startled me while shopping the other day with her 20ft existence on the wall of the 5th ave American Apparel store. As a regular in the world of AA modeling you can also find two of her photo essays on AA's website, check 'em..."Around California" and "West Virgina/Minnesota"

Jersey Plates

So last night I watched this entire event unfold as I exited Antik on Bowery. So glad I decided to bring my camera out that night. This screen-printed mess aggressively jumped out of the Infiniti, kicked over the garbage can proceeded to pee on it while his buddy in the car burned rubber in place for an entire 5 mins. I'd like to think they were blasting trance music, but I can't confirm. Seriously the stars aligned at this very moment and may possibly be the most mind-blowing experience I have ever had, not to mention my inability to stop laughing allllllllll day today. Enjoy and apologies for the graphic nature, but seriously, I had to share this one. 

Creativity Now

Next weekend TOKION hosts their annual conference Creativity Now. ToothJuice will be there hangin out, who you can find in my Sweets column to the right...Righteous artist and member of the Moon Goons who will most likely be playing a show alongside his second MG half somewhere in the city or perhaps Brooklyn, will keep you posted.

Polaroid Party.

pleasurable polaroids for your eyes to feast...we heart polaroid

Past sketches...present wants.

Dug up some old rough sketches that are products of a "1940's World's Fair" inspiration, and while this is a fall collection I'm really wishin I had these gray highwaisteds for sum '08. I've already taken on three construction projects for the upcoming season, which means my Elna's too busy for this particular want. Anyone seen somethin similar to this on the market?

Caribou

Recently Adam and I were sent on a blog assignment at the Caribou show in W'burg. A long time fan, honestly didn't know what to expect from these guys. Their music is super layered, and involved, which was amazingly successful live. Seriously. Awesome. The frontman, Dan Snaith, averages playing on at least two instruments...don't know when Caribou will be around again (maybe summer stage in C.Park?) but HIGHLY recommend them. 

Dry Dreams

Last fall I attended the Cotton Inc. Denim finishing workshop through work. Learned all about America's most sought after bottoms from the picking to the sanding. Denim is constantly reinventing itself, which Cotton did just that for the upcoming fall season...introducing...STORM DENIM. It is exactly what it sounds...storm fighting denim. In other words, waterproof. Yet maintaining a breathability and attractive feel to the touch. Really this denim is no different from your regular old Levi's. One of my current favorites, Alexander Wang, picked up the new innovation in his a/w '08 line. Check out the demonstration he does for us.
