I Am Thankful for Grey and Black

To make up for the 15 hours of much needed sleep that we got last night, Jordan and I worked extra hard for a holiday on a holiday on graphics for the magazine. We even got around to taking an outfit pic out in the snow, which isn't that hard of a task motivation wise considering how chilly it is outside. I actually would be excited if it were still snowing outside, I love the way it looks! Either way, I will post some pics from Thanksgiving in a bit! Later!

Missoni for Target: the online shopping expierience

Like many people, I too experienced the greatest internet crash of 2011 (kidding), a crisis that left the nation in a state of confusion. A state of frustration, where the only thing to do was to wait it out, wait for some answers, press refresh, and consistently check Twitter. Everyone was in a state of anger, not me though, not this girl.

There was no true reason for me to get mad. That morning I accidentally woke up too early, there was no plan to even logon, but in my sleep deprived state I somehow remembered that today was the day. Then without realizing it I found myself in the middle of a nightmare even though I had just gotten up. After more time than I should have allowed, I closed the window. Target's website had crashed just as I was about to checkout. Even though I had everything that I wanted in my cart and even though I knew that there would be nothing left in my size, if there was anything left at all when I logged back on later that day, I knew it was pointless to get mad.

When I logged back on in the evening it was only to check to see if the site was working, I had no intention of buying anything. The site was working, and just as I predicted, there was nothing left in my size. Then I had a realization: I was forgetting the children's section of Missoni for Target. I ended up getting everything I had wanted, including these leggings that I had not even planned on getting originally.

When I got the package I realized that the leggings match the dress and together they create a perfect traveling outfit. So next time you see me at the train station or at the airport, unless I have gotten that pair of cashmere pants from net-a-porter, there is a pretty good chance I will be wearing this! Later!

Ark & co. Lace Dress

For Jordan's birthday dinner I wore a white lace dress with a scoop back from Ark & co. When I was packing to head estate side I forgot to pack a dress for this occasion. It was not until I was planning my outfits for LA (something I always plan to do but never follow through with; however, this time I did. I even typed the list of outfits out on my computer like I do when I style looks for shoots. Doing this made me feel beyond organized, to the point where I thought that I would not end up shopping. I spent the afternoon of my first full day in LA shopping. Oops!) that I realized this and in a state of panic I began to search the local shops but I could not find anything. I decided to be a little risky and look for something online even though I only had a week and a half or two before my trip. I found two dress online that I loved and got them in time, this dress of course being one of them!

Hudson 'May' Jeans Betsey Johnson Blazer: estate side

My Mum was sweet enough to pick up this Betsey Johnson blazer for me as a gift. It was marked down from three hundred and something to only 35 dollars. What an amazing find! The jeans are the 'May' style from Hudson that I picked up on Friday at Whim and I picked up the shoes today. We took a drive around tonight and stopped to take a few pictures in random private driveways. Later!

Helmut Lang Looped V Neck Sweater BB Dakota Shorts

Jordan and I took a walk through Washington Square Park (now referred to as Rat Park) the other night right before it started to pour. For some reason everyone but us knew that it was about to rain because everyone was dashing for some sort of shelter and I was running into the center. We managed to avoid getting too wet and ended up running and hiding under the entrance to an apartment building on 5th avenue where we took a few pictures. We stopped along the way to take a couple of pictures/make a new friend in a parking garage on 8th street. Now to finish packing... Later!

LF Black Knit Shorts H&M White T-Shirt: day to night look

Currently I am obsessed with these black knit shorts that I picked up at LF (LF makes the best knit shorts). I like to pair them with a white t-shirt, it is my everyday uniform at the moment. Conveniently for me, it is a look that I can wear day or night when accessorized properly. Here are my day and night versions of the look. The night version was taken before the heatwave and the day version was taken when the city was at its hottest. One plus about being in a heat wave is that it is perfect weather for taking pictures, it explains why West 4th Street is completely empty. Unfortunately, we only made it a couple of blocks before turning back to the apartment with only two shots to show for it.

If you can remember my post 'Clothing, Shoes, Jewelry' I mentioned how packing for the East side allows me to see what my favorite items of clothing/shoes/accessories are. With the exception of my current favorite accessories other than the clutch and the DMM bags (or Dress Me Bags if you are into bad word play), here are some of my favorite items in my wardrobe right now. Now that we are currently in a heat wave the sweaters are not getting as much attention as the other garments which are light and soft.
