Loving black diamond eternity bands. Lots and lots of them. Partially inspired by my Nana's ever evolving and always impressive mixed and matched rings, and by a Daphne Guinness talk I attended at FIT- I want some finger armour, STAT. Turns out you can score some cool looking black beauties at Overstock.com. Who knew?

Went to the Met and Madison Ave. yesterday. There is an amazing exhibit on Indian Master painters and on Goddess in Indian art (India, I'm coming...). Also really enjoyed the portrait of "Cher", the Honeycomb and everything about the lady in the long black duster, acid jeans, biker boots and blonde braided hair's outfit and attitude.

2011-10-14T11:51:00.004-04:00

Maybe it is classic Fall-time nostalgia syndrome, or the weird/nervous feeling I get around Halloween, or maybe its just one of my many cyclical phases, but I am extremely appreciating The Tragically Hip right now. Memories of summer camp, making out, smashing pumpkins at Forest Hill Junior School, smoking a joint for the very first time, Massey Hall, driving the roads of northern Ontario, fresh bread at Tree planting (nothing tastes better), the smell of the "mountain" in Montreal- all dancing through my pork-pie( its really kind of a strange day) clad head.

do the rockaway

2011-08-05T10:41:00.005-04:00

Got my ass up at 5am this morning to go to Rockaway beach for some surfing (fine, attempted surfing). Vice/Nike is sponsoring an open house full of treats to help promote Nike 6.0 (in a low key, not overly branded way) for the next two weeks. Passenger and gear vans leave the city around 5:40 am and return around 9:00 am everyday- early, but worth it for some pre-work fun in the sun and surf (cute drivers also help ease the early morning pain). The house is hosted by the adorable Falcone brothers, Rockaway locals and expert surfers whose interests include horticulture, photography, furniture building and shaping boards.

not-converse

2011-08-04T13:02:00.002-04:00

Trying to break the converse cycle. Andre Assous cowboy shoes spotted by John and Zach at one of the homeless vendors on 6th Avenue who hangs out in front of Urban Outfitters that sells stuff he probably found in the trash. Levis Jean shorts, best-tank-ever from India or Peru and Theyskens' Theory blouse that makes me feel kind of ethereal/angelic when it billows in the wind. Having a narcissist week, whatever.

2011-08-04T10:58:00.003-04:00

I love dreamcatchers (maybe even as much as Barnett) and other pretty hanging things with special rocks, feathers or shells, evil eyes and magical things. Need some leather cording to make some with less Woodstock and more Altamont vibes.

party pants

2011-08-03T10:13:00.005-04:00

How awesome is the light in my office in the morning? I love these metallic linen pants- bought them ages ago from LILITH (google just told me they are having a massive sale) and always get muchos compliments. I love the seam below the knee and I love how linen wrinkles and crinkles as the day goes on. Also, the only shoes I can bring myself to wear are converse- white or black depending on what I'm wearing. Currently, all other shoes make me feel awkward.

If you're in New York and your hair needs some love- you should go to the adorable Brazilian, he will make you (well, you're hair) as cool as Freja.

I love Carhartt. I dig the authentic workwear stuff (as a former summer camp kid and tree planter I have a deep love for the heavy sweatshirts that are fuzzy on the inside) and I dig the streetwear stuff (I spent quite a bit of time at the Copenhagen store when I lived there, the clothes were rad and I had a soft spot for the cute Danes with cool bikes who worked and shopped there). Its been out for a while but I hadn't looked at the AKxC pieces until this morning, I am not mad at them at all. Images via highsnobiety.com.

"So many had written, conversed, and convulsed in these Victorial dollhouse rooms. So many skirts had swished these worn marble stairs. So many transient soulds had espoused, made a mark, and succumbed here. I sniffed out their spirits as I silently scurried from floor to floor, longing for discourse with a gone procession of smoking caterpillars"- Patti Smith from Just Kids.

Need to get myself here tonight.

The honeymoon is over, as they say, and I am trying to adjust. Maine was a-maine-zing. Road tripped to a dream cabin on dream lake, explored endless wilderness. Indulged in swimming, hiking, pancakes, chowders, moose and magic. Stopped along the coast on our way back to the city. Kennebunkport, Wells Beach, Old Orchard Beach, Portland. Ah, Portland. Above are some of my photos from this sweet sea-side town. Stumbled into a little shop called BLACK PARROT (photos from Black Parrot blog) a treasure-chest of delightful treats, including goodies from Risto, lemlem, Apartamento magazine and Obbaki.

I saw 4000 Miles with Steph last night at the Duke Theater on 42nd Street. I laughed (Greta Lee kills her role), I cried (Marie Louis Wilson conveys a loneliness from loss that kind of stings) and I truly enjoyed every single minute. Amy Herzog's play is honest, the characters are recognizable and the set is brilliant.

i'm into tevas

2011-05-28T15:19:00.004-04:00

I know- they are awkward and kind of ugly and I am pretty sure I almost lost my job because when I debuted them at work my outfit was a total fail and my boss didn't look me in the eyes all day. But, they have a bit of a Yoji/ Rick vibe, are super comfortable and are the only sandals I have worn in NY that keep my feet from getting icky. Remember when Kate (Moss, duh) wore Wellingtons and short shots at the Glastonbury Music Festival in 2008? She pretty much, single-handedly, revived the old school rain boot brand. I have a hunch Tevas could have a similar moment this summer- maybe at Outside Lands in August, and will then be all over the music festival circuit and quirky/cute girls' feet in summer 2012.

Smell is a weird word and a sensational sense. I am addicted to wearing MMM's Untitled. I would also wear CDG's Avignon- but my boss wears it and that would be weird. I am addicted to burning Dyptyque's Feu De Bois and just gave my buddy CDGxMonocle One: Hinoki as a houswarming/birthday gift but wish I had kept it for my self.
