Waffle Knits & Lingonberries

The other night before walking into SoHo, we stopped into Swedish candy store Sockerbit where we took my outfit pic and of course picked up some new Scandinavian imported treats to try. We are not the foodie type of people and we're definitely not the foodie-blog type (we are not that adventurous!), but when it comes to Scandinavian confections, not only have we started seeking them out but you can expect to see one of us taking a picture while the other one of us is writing about it. Why Scandinavian treats? Because they are made with ingredients that we actually know of, the packaging is always well designed (total design every time I swear), and it is always delicious! American chocolate just isn't as good. Also, unlike other foreign sweets, which can seem odd in texture and taste, Scandinavian products have a familiarity to them, making them always palatable. SO, If you are looking for something new to try, the Lingonberry Dark Fairtrade Chocolate bar from Danish Chocolatier Anthon Berg is definitely a new favorite of ours. Made using cocoa beans from Ghana and dried lingonberries, this delicious dark chocolate has a subtle, yet well encompassed fruity flavor to it!

Knits on Knits

 For the first time after class the other day, Jordan and I went into the garden at the New York Public Library that is right by my apartment. I would have worn a more garden appropriate outfit but we hadn't planned to stop in. But I like this outfit, it is one of those outfits you could read magazines in all day. I bought the jeans a couple of sizes to big so they would be baggy and comfortable (and then sent them to the wash so they wouldn't be so baggy). Rolling up the bottoms makes me feel a little like a rebel without a cause and adds that extra bit of casualness that makes it all work. I paired them with a waffle knit (duh) and a big scarf that I knit.

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?

Estate Side Photo Diary

Over the weekend Jordan and I headed up north to estate side. Before we left we decided we would do a shoot so we brought a suitcase with all of the looks, shoes, accessories, cameras, etc. The first night was spent wandering around outside as the sun went down looking for places to shoot. Like most of the time spent outside, this adventure resulted in an outfit shoot. My outfit consisted of a top from Free People, grey shorts, and a pair of a size too big Doc Martins that my Father had put in my room for me. He had texted me to tell me earlier in the week to tell me that he had found them so I was excited to try them on. They are just as big and clunky as I imagined. They are perfect for wandering around outside. The next day we did the shoot. We were lucky enough to be able to shoot with the same model that we shot with last time I went estate side, and the photographer from the previous shoot even shot our last look (you will read about them in the next issue)! Jordan shot the other outfits (and David Biral even took a few shots. We are so lucky!) and everything looks amazing! I am excited to see both shoots in the upcoming issues. A big thanks to everyone who was involved!
