Monochrome for FNO 2011

September 8, 2011

Glad I was wearing little wedges for FNO as I walked so much that night. Trying to get a cab was crazy and actually getting anywhere once in the cab was almost impossible. After 6:30pm I took the NQR and walked everywhere.

I feel like I have weird, slightly vacant looking expressions on my face in all the photos I took on Thursday. Probably the change of season making me feel kind of odd. You can actually see my dress this time, unlike last time. I thought I was way too overdressed for FNO… but by 6pm it got cool out so I wrapped a sweater over my dress. It’s Alexander Wang, which I think of as sporty and sort of androgynous, but always ends up looking more cocktail hour on me? Maybe it’s the hair. I planned for down and pin straight but the weather had other plans, became way more humid in the evening and my hair puffed up so I squashed it together and stuck some pins in it.

Want to see photos from the stores during FNO?…

Friends Under the Trees





I got another friend into photos with me! And we did typically silly things like staring up at the trees. She doesn’t have a blog or a twitter, but she does have two playful dogs.

Carrying my old Foley + Corinna again. I forgot how much this bag holds (currently my MacBook Air) and how useful it is. This is the first time I’ve worn my new(ish) leather skirt from Tokyo Joe, a really good consignment store in the East Village. It’s from Gap and judging by the quality and style I’d say it’s not recent, maybe from the early 2000s? Maybe earlier. I really forgot how unforgiving leather is… one large meal later and I feel like I can’t breathe.

I’m excited for Stranded Blogger on Wednesday (except it’s supposed to pour, oh no!). If you’re going and I don’t already know, please tell me!

Sunset Before the Storm in Alexander Wang





August 26, 2011

A little pre-hurricane fun– I live in the mandatory evacuation zone in New York (#ZoneA), so I trekked to my parents’ in the country and met my friends for tapas and sangria al fresco. I wish I could have gotten more definition out of the dress but it was definitely 7:30pm by the time I took these photos. I guess that means I’ll just have to wear it again soon!

The What I Wore Sweet and Rough Challenge

5.23.2010 Saturday

So last night as I was trying desperately to post this… tumblr would not only not post — it kept deleting any modifications to the draft.  Poo.  

I thought I gained a bit of a tan in Atlantic City (unintentionally, as everyone in real life knows I use Mystic) but these photos seem to prove otherwise.  Although it’s possible that the extreme clouds are responsible for it, and it was raining as I took these photos.  That’s why my hair is so big!  It’s not full of secrets, I swear!  I’m having it cut today, thankfully.  I don’t even know what I’m doing with it, just that it has to become shorter.  And I’m considering bangs again because I think something about the lines of my face is too harsh without them.  Although apparently I love the hair in Shanghai right now, and there are no bangs with those two cuts.  I’m also a fan of Lucy Liu’s hair.  She doesn’t have bangs either.  Maybe I’ll just put myself at the mercy of my stylist?
