le week-end [family]

Took the train to visit some of my family upstate this weekend.  It always wonderful to get out of the city and see some trees.  I took a three hour nap in front of the wood burning stove, baked three loaves of bread, red-velvet cupcakes and ate homemade jam and fresh blueberries.  It couldn't have been any better.  

Time to get back to the city.  Givenchy showed in Paris today, which means tomorrow will be crazy!  Good thing I got 11 hours of sleep last night...

I'm Back!

Wow!  NYC doesn't leave a whole lot of time for blogging.  Or maybe working during fashion week doesn't leave a whole lot of time for blogging...

Anyway, I'm back now.  Just me, my iPhone and figuring out how to live in this crazy city!  It's been good so far!  Saw some people and shows I never dreamed I would!  Most of the snaps aren't on my computer yet, but, I will upload them soon!   There a a few above though!  Straight from the front row. 

One thing that proving difficult, shopping!  Who would have guessed!  I see so many amazing things everyday, I can't figure out what my closet is lacking the most...Oh conundrums.

the beginning [part II]

Finally found an apartment in the city!  It's pretty fabulous.  Hopefully I will have some time to take some snaps.  This internship leaves no time for blogging.  We received our clients this week.  I'm working on Givenchy and Peter Pilotto. I never really knew much about either, so this is definitely a learning experience.  I also know nothing about PR so my brain is working overtime right now.  I love a good challenge though.

Your looking at photos mainly from #CapsuleNY which was really cool to get to go to! And, see that jacket I'm wearing in the 6th and last photo?  Isn't it fabulous?  It's #Highland. 

Due to my crazy schedule and lack of photographer in this city instagram is all I have time for. Not the best for capturing 'looks'.  Triste.

Highland [lookbook fw12]

Yesterday I assisted on the FW '12 shoot for Highland.  The collection is amazing.  Giant mohair coats, reversible shirts and jackets, big sweaters and baseball hats (made in all sorts of fabric).  Be sure to check it out because it is basically fantastic.

NYE x NYC [week one]

 Made it through NYE and week one.  So far, I have only bought a giant menswear top from Saturday Nights Surf.  

You're looking at photos from around NYC and NYE.  The second to last is a snap from Marni.  By far one of the best shopping experiences ever.  The shop is amazing, not only because of the clothing (which is breath taking) but also the design.  

Last photo is from the #HIGHLAND studio.  Best menswear ever.

ps the greatest thing about NY is all the completely futile honking.  It really doesn't make traffic move faster ...

le Noël [holidays]

   

   Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays.  Mine were pretty calm this year, but, after being so busy at work, it was exactly what I needed.  Can't wait to wear some of the new pieces I received for my wardrobe, such as this amazing Theory sweater and Marc by Marc silk dress.  I just hope I can fit in to them after the amount of tasty treats I let myself indulge in these past two days...

2012, here we come!
