Gap Waffle Knit

Yesterday I accidentally came across a waffle knit while I was quickly looking in between classes for something warm to wear after the temperature randomly dropped in the middle of the day. Who would have thought that I would find what I was looking for in the mens section of Gap (other than stylecaster who told me to look there several days earlier)? It is not completely perfect but it is definitely lovely!

Free People Knit Top

I am not sure if waffle knit tops are suddenly a rare thing or if I have just been looking in the wrong places but I am starting to think that I am the only person who think that they are perfect for Fall. I ordered this Free People one off of Karmaloop. It is just the kind I have been looking for! Do you guys know of any good shops for waffle knits, online or not?

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!

NARS

When it comes to makeup the design of the packaging and the design of the product's container, both should be on par with the actual product. I think NARS does a lovely job with carrying out their concept  and style. What I am trying to say is, Jordan and I went to the NARS flagship store for the first time the other day (even though it is literally five minutes or less away).

Yesterday morning when I woke up I had a couple of packages. I will show you what I got soon! 

Black Faux Leather Pants from H&M Faux Real

Yesterday night while Jordan and I were in Soho we stopped into H&M an hour or so before it closed, which I have decided is the best time to go into an H&M. I am pretty sure they had just gotten a shipment in, there were crates being unpacked and a lot of things in my size, which is rare. I had originally gone in to get a pair of faux leather shorts but then after I found this pair of faux leather pants I realized that they make more sense seeing as it is getting cold. Now it is back to getting ready to brave the rain, later!

Working and Shopping

The DMM is hard at work and we want to apologize for any delay in returning emails or messages! While we are doing that I thought I would post some estate side pictures. The first is of some flowers outside the front door of my house. The second is of my dog. The third is of me lying in a hammock in a tree in my yard. The last three are of some things that I have gotten since I have been here and that you have seen in recent posts. Later!

Mannequins at Bloomingdales and H&M

I love the pictures of mannequins that Jordan takes. They always make me laugh because I never think about how outrageous mannequins look until I look at his pictures of them. The bottom one from Bloomingdales is so sensual! You can see more of his photos here.

Vans Half Cabs

Jordan was lucky enough to find these Vans Half Cabs that he wanted on sale. They were the last pair and they just happened to be in his size. I love finds like that!

07122011

The DMM team has been on a little vacation after we put out the last issue of the magazine. Both of our parents came up (with the exception of my mum who was visiting my grandparents), which was fun for so many reasons. Our parents even met for the first time (Mum we were all sad you were not there)! 

My Father and I wandered all over Manhattan one day, stopping in Soho, wandering my neighborhood, dashing up town for a trip to Barneys for drinks, people watching wherever we stopped, it was such a good time! I am happy to say that my Dad even took a liking to Acne and when we visited the store in Soho. He picked up a this beyond cool, completely unique tie for some weddings he has to go to. I swear it will be the most stylish tie at those weddings. It totally beats those Hermès ties with the sail boats/horses/animals on them! Hopefully I will be making some outfit posts soon! Later!

Organization

I did something the other day that made me feel Martha Stewart Organized: I took polaroids of my shoes and put them on the shoe boxes. Most of my shoes are in those clear plastic bins (no polaroids needed) but somehow I have filled more than 20 of them. Rather than buying more clear plastic shoe boxes I decided to put some of my box-less shoes in the leftover boxes from a recent shopping trip. 

I still need more boxes for several other pairs of shoes so I can only actually feel half MS organized. 

Friday

Friday I went with my Father to Bloomingdales in Soho where I picked up some of my essentials. I also picked up Prada Infusion de Rose. 

Thursday

My parents came up on Wednesday so I have not been posting. I did take loads of pictures. Here are pictures from Thursday. One of which shows my lovely new leopard print gentleman's slippers that I have been coveting. It was beautiful out! 

Other pictures from Monday

Non outfit related pictures from Monday include Jordan on our walk back to the West Village. The Flowers that he got for the shoot. We bought them at this little flower shop that I love. It is outside a bodega on 6th and 2nd ave. The lady makes the most beautiful little arrangements, this is a close favorite of mine. The pink and the green I love. I think she uses lemon leaf too, which smells so nice. I was excited that we picked up new flowers but carrying them arount the city was slightly embarrassing, I think everyone thought we were on a first date. A copy of Elle I picked up on the way back (which felt a little weird seeing as I never buy the American version of Elle or any other version... with the exception of a recent purchase of the UK version...) and when we got back I decided that I should organize some of the magazines that were lying around. 

Monday

I was beyond excited when I found these red J Brand jeans online at shopbop.com. I had been in search of a red pair of jeans for ages and up until that point I seemed to be out of luck. I had checked everywhere. For months I browsed through greens, pinks, and the occasional yellow at places I would never normally buy jeans (I was très desperate....). I was honestly thinking of maybe giving up the search. 

I think I nearly stopped breathing when I found that J Brand, my true all time favorite jeans brand, had them. I ordered them and spent yesterday morning in a state of anxiety waiting for the UPS man. I even sat outside once I saw his truck parked. After a blonde lady in my building told me that sometimes she just chases him down (UPS does not actually like to deliver packages I think... so it is a problem) I decided to do the same. 

At last the package was in my hands. I texted a couple of people before opening the white plastic packaging. I needed it to be known that I had the red jeans so everyone would know that they would not have to hear me complain about not having red jeans anymore. Finally I stopped teasing my self and opened the package. I was so excited I slipped them on and in my head started planning outfits. 

I wore them monday night on my way back from a shoot. With them I wore a tank top, my leopard print pair of flats, and a bag all from Marc by Marc Jacobs, as well as Jordan's grey A.P.C. jumper and my new blazer from H&M. 

Saturday

Saturday Update

Jacket: Marc by Marc Jacobs

Jeans: Hudson Jeans

Sunglasses: Oliver Peoples

We spent Saturday in Soho mostly. I woke up and got my hair blown out and then when I got back we decided to go and wait in line for Fashion Girls for Japan. After we headed over to Bloomingdales where it was absolutely out of control because there was a sale or something. When we got back we worked on the magazine. 

Friday in Soho

On Friday Jordan met me in Soho after he finished work. He was nice enough to come with me to all of the stores I had to go to.

I picked up some new underwear from Victoria's Secret

I found one of the last of Vogue Paris from the Carine days

When we got back to his apartment Jordan found a letter in the mail. I thought it was lovely so I took a picture of it.
