Off to Miami this afternoon for a cousin's wedding. 

It'll be nice to indulge in a break from the city; a thought which had inspired me to pile on the sunkist colors and retro-digs-inspired camera bag the other day. I've gotten back into Mad Men since I was sick for so long and couldn't do anything except get bed rest, drink fluids and watch episode after episode of whatever Netflix flashed in front of my face, but I'm glad since it has given me a little dose of inspirado. Still going strong with the ear pin, just trying to figure out how to avoid getting it stuck in my hair when I meet a huge gust of wind...

Ah, well. See you at the beach, kiddos.

Back to Life

Haleluljia I'm alive!

Apologies for my absence there, I've been sick with a myriad of viral infections for the passed five days and I've been in and out of the ER for what seems like ages. My entire weekend was spent in the company of Dr.Brown's ginger ale, chicken soup, popscicles and like, thirty Woody Allen movies while everyone was out and about, enjoying themselves and getting some sun. Meanwhile, I was slowly becoming a viral troll. Ugh. So glad that's over with.

While I was home, I ended up filling my time on Etsy (as one does). I've been doing this thing where I'll just search for a random adjective ("detailed", "odd", "asymmetrical" etc...) and see what comes up. I don't wuite remember how I stumbled accross this ear pin, but dang, isn't it the coolest thing? I feel like everyone has seen that one photo on the blogosphere of that girl with an ear pin in the shape of a connected star constellation, and after realizing how expensive those thigns are, I almost gave up my search. This particular piece is pretty reasonable as far as price goes, and it looks great peeking through your hair if you have an asymmetrical, choppy haircut like I do. I've been wearing my hair in scarf wraps to save from the heat, and so I decided to throw this little bauble on to add some sparkle around the face.

Also happy to announce that while I've been away, Lisa Salzer of Lulu Frost has been inducted as a new member of the CFDA! I'm SO excited and happy for her, I can't wait to give my full congrats as soon as I'm back in the office tomorrow!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I haven't been passed 1st avenue in almost a week, and it's about high time I ventured back into society.

A Summer at Lulu Frost

So I am very, very, very, very, very excited to announce that I have completed my first week interning at Lulu Frost's design studio and showroom. This summer, I will be assisting with little in-house projects and social media stuff like taking care of the brand's fabulous Tumblr and shooting photos for the site. This first week was my chance to get settled in and help out here and there, but I've had a long-standing relationship with this brand ever since Lisa Salzer, the creative director and founder of Lulu Frost, invited me to pop by the showroom back in 2011. Now I get to sit right accross from Lisa and her team while we brainstorm ideas for their blog and keep eachother inspired. There's a ton of great stuff in the works, and I know it's going to be an incredibly enriching and wonderful summer!

Risk Taken

LF top (via Bib+Tuck), American Apparel jacket, Vanessa Mooney "Refuse Thy Name" body chain, Vintage leather skirt, Vintage watch

The deep-V of this top is usually quite far from something I'd feel comfortable wearing, but I was curious as to how it would look with a bodychain under it echoing the lines of the neck. With a light jacket over it, the risqé-factor is numbed a bit, but in this heat it's hard to care.

Hells Bells

Asos top and hat, vintage pants, vintage Coach bag with a vintage scarf, Karen London bangle worn on the arm, Plukka Bullet necklace, Belle by Sigerson Morrison boots

Oh, yes, the time has come to whip out the studded bells.

I thrifted these bad boys back upstate in Buffalo when I was in high school and I've made sure to keep them close. I usually fall into some sort of 60's/70's/summer of love thing when warm weather starts to creep up, but this time around, I'm armed with a keen interest in the history Greenwich Village and after weeks of marinating in poetry and photo archives. To say the least, I'm gettin' my groove on. 

I feel like the silk scarf is something of a forgotten accessory, or at least it's been put on the backburner as something kitschy and associated with grandmas and great aunts. I don't like to wear too much color around my face since it can be a bit much with my hair, but wrapped around a bag or stuck out of a pocket is always an option.
