Pop Up Decor Blog: Part One
Fashion and interior design go hand in hand (see The City Sage, Rue Magazine & Coco+Kelley for solid proof) so I thought I’d do a feature every so often about my new(ish) apartment and how it’s coming along!
Color palette created using ColourLovers - the two on the right are meant to be black and white. Oops.
I’m sharing this apartment with my boyfriend, so I’m...

On Repeat
Saturday, September 18
Worn on date night with the boyfriend! I scored some tickets to see the Upright Citizens Brigade improv comedy troupe, so we grabbed a Mission-style burrito at Dos Toros (sadly, not as good as the SF taqueria we still dream about) before heading to the show. Later, we stopped by our friends’ apartmentwarming party and good times were had by all. A perfect Saturday...

FNOMG: Hello, Hamish!
At Fashion’s Night Out: The Show, Meredith, Lindsey and I were lucky to meet Hamish Bowles, the European Editor at Large for Vogue magazine. He was so down to earth, asking us how we were involved with the fashion industry, and politely posed for a couple photos with us. I could only hope that Ms. Wintour would be so gracious should I run into her about town!

Details of the actual items pictured here.
This fall I want…
A navy schoolboy blazer. This is one of those how do I not own this moments. It made it on last year’s list...

Thrift Find: The Way You Look and Dress
A Saturday trip to Salvos yielded a new addition to my collection of fashion books… a little hardback textbook from 1955 called How You Look and Dress.
I’ve had luck in the fashion book department at this particular Salvation Army before, but I really fell hard for this little gem. Part of a Home Economics series of textbooks, it starts with a chapter on posture and hygiene, but...

Friday night in New York was quite the affair - stores from Madison Avenue to Soho were booming with music and brimming with customers. Much of my time was spent gathering up my friends and trying to decide where to go, but my main mission was to get to Prince Street in time to meet the woman, the myth, the legend - Jenna Lyons.
We were some of the last fans waiting in line to meet the...

The Beat
Monday, August 30
Worn to work.
The Outfit…
White Blouse - BCBG, thrifted
Futuristic Necklace - F21
Black Cropped Dress Pants - LOFT
Black Ballet Flats - shoe store in Madrid
Wearing these slim black pants with flats felt a bit beatnik to me. Or maybe just Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face? Either way, it’s a combo that will surely get more wear as we edge into the colder months.
