winter wonderment

Styling Rachel Thevenard and James Newman

As part of a prize package for winning a LOOKBOOK.nu x MTV style contest this past winter, Adilla Menayang of Chicago and I got to style members of the Skins US cast for their premiere party featuring Rusko.

Adilla and I met and spent some time with the cast and their families in the Soho Grand's penthouse suite after pulling clothes, accessories, shoes, etc. from sites all over the city before heading over to the premiere party. Overall, it was an exciting but exhausting experience -- more photos to follow once I get my life in order. Just over two weeks until I fly out to Palm Beach!

Punta Cana / my old room

Some things from spring. The first two shots are from spring break, when my friends and I went down to Punta Cana. We didn't explore Bavaro much, but we did make it out to this underground (literally) night club called Imagine that was pretty interesting.

After I got back, I cleaned some of my accessories up after finals week for Liz's final project shoot. Played around with some accessories and clothes before I ended up with a purple one-shoulder Topshop dress.

Gorgeous shots from Vogue Paris August 2011

In a few short weeks, I'll be done with my internship and heading off to Palm Beach for a short 6-day vacation before school starts up again. I can't believe I forgot about this blog -- it's been ages since I've written anything here. Going to make a more conscious effort to stay consistent.

Anyone have camera recommendations?

Wandered the Lower East with my cousin Jenn today. We had a late lunch at Bodhi Tree, a yummy little Thai restaurant in the East Village (58 3rd avenue.) The service, food, and atmosphere were great.

Raided Strand for some summer reading -- the sidewalk sale has a great selection of books for $1 each, I bought two armfuls of memoirs -- before heading down to St. Mark's then over to some vintage stores to do a bit of damage. I'm about to start packing to head back up to Ithaca...I'm not sure if I'm more excited that I'm heading back or sad that I'm leaving the city so soon.

Shrek Forever After was TOO cute. I'd love to run away and become a forest creature.

i've never wanted ACNE more desperately.

ACNE Atacoma Gray (SS10) and Admire

Obsessed. Unfortunately, still under a self-imposed shoe ban until winter (really just holding out for some of the boots in the Burberry Prorsum FW 10/11 and the heels in McQueen's final collection) so these are most likely never going to make their way into my closet.

Spent the day shopping for anything rustic, sheer, lacy, and nude (think Chanel SS10) -- traipsed from the Upper East Side through Nolita and everywhere around Soho before winding back up to Union Square to hop on the train and head home, a mess of bags and frizzy hair.

Realized the other night that I only have a little over a week left before I head back up so I need to mentally prepare myself for months of separation anxiety from Manhattan. As much as I love Cornell, it's a huge change of pace. Ithaca is a bubble; it's so isolated. Definitely an interesting experience for college, but I'm not sure I'd ever be able to permanently live somewhere like that.

Craving: wild passion with a dash of romance and liberal doses of chemistry.
