ohhh my little blog, i am so sorry for neglecting you! the past 2 weeks have been amazingly crazy with my fabulous nyc vaca and then working my ass off setting up the new anthropologie in yorkville (which has also been somewhat of a fabulous experience- the art installations are all created from recycled materials, photos to follow.)

and what can i say about new york, except that it is my love and i had the opportunity to go with my my favouritest person everr.. the city is thriving at all hours of the day and night and there are so many different and unique pockets to explore. highlights included 5th avenue window displays, shopping in soho (uniqlo and miniature cupcakes love), grand central station lux architecture, a fantastic walk along park ave and into the shadey spaces of central park, and champange and bottle service in the meatpacking district.

of course, not to be ignored was my inspirational visit to the MoMA, where I was exposed to a variety curious and thought-provoking pieces that serve as wonderful creativity stimulants. i took over 100 photos on this day. the featured installation there was a work by song dong called "waste not."

"Beijing-based artist Song Dong (b. 1966) explores notions of transience and impermanence with installations that combine aspects of performance, video, photography, and sculpture. Projects 90, his first solo U.S. museum show, presents his recent work Waste Not. A collaboration first conceived of with the artist's mother, the installation consists of the complete contents of her home, amassed over fifty years during which the Chinese concept of wu jin qi yong, or "waste not," was a prerequisite for survival. The assembled materials, ranging from pots and basins to blankets, oil flasks, and legless dolls, form a miniature cityscape that viewers can navigate around and through."

girlcrush

saw transformers II last night with my dearr.. overload of female hottness. at least michael bay understands his target demographic. people actually applauded when megan fox came onscreen.. not to say that i blame them. however, i did find myself more drawn to the other leading lady, isabel lucas, who radiated that model meets girl-next-door quality so prevalent among today's "it" girls.

i apsire to her hair in that last picture.. the look of natural, grown out roots with beachy blonde at the tips.. suchhh love. obsessed with her clean, natural look, glowing tan, and dusting of freckles, as well as her strong brows and light eyes.
i wonder if her and adrian grenier are still together.. their child would be a genetic masterpiece.
definitley hoping to see more from this beauty in the future, including more of her style, which as far as i can tell at this point, seems to be impeccable.

plans for today include a possible romp in trinity bellwoods, and soaking up the glorious sun.

(as if the days have any meaning for me whatsoever haha)

ps i am nyc bound in just 6 short days!!!
spotted: n window shopping wistfully at barney's, bendel's, and bergdorf's... see you on 5th Ave.

secret garden

"One of the strange things about living in the world is that it is only now and then one is quite sure one is going to live forever and ever and ever. One knows it sometimes when one gets up at the tender solemn dawn-time and goes out and stands alone and throws one's head far back and looks up and up and watches the pale sky slowly changing and flushing and marvelous unknown things happening until the East almost makes one cry out and one's heart stands still at the strange unchanging majesty of the rising of the sun—which has been happening every morning for thousands and thousands and thousands of years. One knows it then for a moment or so."

IF SWALLOWED SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. WILL STAIN CLOTHES. WILL SOUND SPECTACULAR.

fakeblood@wrongbar last night

pulsing vibes. primal crowd. love&hype&beats.
welcome to the zoo- you are now an animal in a sea of hungry, sweaty beasts. sweat beads on the ceiling and drips down. steam and smoke lay like a heavy fog over the crowd. lights flicker and blur.
we are all creatures of the underground nightlife.
hope you enjoyed the ride.

sorry for the poor quality, phone camera, what can i say. hopefully there will be more to follow.

special shoutouts to two of my fav girls ever J & S- so glad for these epic nights we spend together. you gals party like it's your fucking jobs and i love every minute of it.

oh, and in case you happen to find yourself wondering what's on tv on a sunday morning at 5 am:



fabulous.

i love the little personalized details and allusions to nature, as well as the delicate captions under each image; so lovely!
