Welcome to the Jungle

Our neighborhood Jaguar. No big deal. Heading to the jungle for a week. Perhaps I'll bring home some sloths or monkeys to keep the jag company.

I want to be the girl with the most cake

There is something creepy and dark about dolls that I love. I saw these at a little shop in Cape May, NJ over the weekend and I've had Doll Parts in my head ever since. Hole's 1994 Live Through This album kicks major ass and should be listened to/downloaded/owned by all females.

Note to self:

I love working in an industry that is both creative and challenging. However, I do not love the idea of making stuff for the sake of stuff. I am committed to not lose site of my ultimate goal- to find/create the opportunity where form is equal to function.

Candid Camera

Tank: Alexander Wang (on sale at Barneys Coop)
Skirt: Helmut Lang
Boots: Frye
Glasses: John Lennon brand from Cohen's Fashion Optical

The beginning of tequila infused night at Jamie's apartment. I get serious satisfaction out of wearing an outfit that should cost a whole bunch but in actuality did not cost very much at all. It is also nice to know that if I am ever really strapped for cash (which is a scarily real possibility in our volatile economy) I have some heavy hitting labels in my closet that I could unload to make rent for at least a couple of months.

Explosions in the Sky

Spent the long weekend down the shore in Cape May, NJ. There is nothing better than good friends, good food, beaches, surreys and beautiful weather.

Boat Basin Blues

Jeans: Used Levis from Kenzington Market
Ballet Flats: Joe Fresh
T-shirt: American Apparel
Blazer: Theory
Canvas Bag: Muji

Went to the Boat Basin Cafe the other night for a Canada Day (seems to be the theme of my week) party hosted by the Canadian Association of New York. I've never really been one to officially join teams or clubs (though I was on the McGill Ultimate Frisbee Varsity B team) but CANY offered a deal that was too sweet to resist. 20 bucks to become a member,10 bucks to get into the party, show up at the party, sign in and receive a voucher for a round trip ticket to Toronto on Porter Airlines. The party was 'aight, I enjoyed drinking Molson and Labatt plus, I ran into someone I haven't seen since grade school which is always entertaining. If you are Canadian and living in NY, I highly recommend you join CANY, so that you too can reap the benefits of this brilliant promotion- unless you hate 30.00$ plane tickets and avoiding the hellish lines at YYZ.

"I miss the “u” in color." — LISA NAFTOLIN, a creative director

"In history class, in seventh grade (or as we like to say in Canada, grade seven) we learned the story of the American Revolution — from the British perspective. Turns out you were all a bunch of ungrateful tax cheats. And you weren’t very nice to the Loyalists. What I miss most about Canada is getting the truth about the United States."
— MALCOLM GLADWELL, a staff writer for The New Yorker and the author, most recently, of “Outliers: The Story of Success”
