Canada

We are leaving for Montreal soon, all we have to do is pack! Here is the weather for tonight, it is so cold it is almost inappropriate. I think you can count on me wearing long underwear, some cashmere, fur boots and a big down jacket! Oh and lots of moisturizer! Stay warm, hugs!

A couple of days into my trip the contents of my wardrobe soon became more things from LF than the clothes that I brought, which is the explanation for the LF shorts and top that I wore in this outfit. Like I mentioned in my post White Knit Shorts, I love LF knit shorts, so much that I ended up picking up a couple of pairs in different colors. I found buying a knit top in Los Angeles to be a little more difficult but I ended up happily buying this soft and warm white one. The back is longer than the front, which is a perfectly odd little detail that works well for layering and adds that bit of character that can make you love an outfit. When it got darker out I added my scarf thing from LF and swapped the Litas for my ankle boots.

Santa Monica Outfit

We made unplanned visit to Santa Monica. I planned for it to be chilly but did not plan for the wind that would almost blow my dress up, my hat off and left my scarf flying all over the place. My scarf being my new 'not a poncho but not a shawl either' thing that I got from LF. I am a little obsessed with it right now. It got me through al of the cold nights and days in LA and was perfect for the plane ride back!

Clothing, Shoes, Jewelry

In my overnight bag

Jordan and I are often going in between the West Village and the East Village, and rarely do we ever have a plan for how long we will be staying. This means never knowing how much to pack and hoping that I will have enough clothing to last me! I have a few things on the east side like a stash of Goldwell products, a hair drier, some jackets, a spare pair of heels for styling, etc., but I do not like the idea of having my wardrobe spread between two places and I also do not like the idea of having a selection of things that I do not really feel like wearing on the East Side. This means having to pack and unpack all the time (or buying two of everything). 

Okay packing and unpacking is not efficient (especially when we are carrying clothing for shoots in addition), but it does allow me to see what my favorite items of clothing are! Back to packing to head back to the West Village! Later!

I am back in the city. Jordan is asleep and I am contemplating putting away the contents of my suitcase, which are now in a pile on the floor. We just got back from doing adult things like buying things at CVS that you do not feel like buying (in my opinion going to a drugstore to buy things that you actually need is very adult). However, even though these CVS trips appear to be ultra responsable on our parts we always end up doing it at like 1:30 in the morning so we are not exactly organized. 

Either way, here are some more pictures from my time at home.

1. Looking over Dress Me Mag in my bed at home

2. A picture of Tyler and me that my Father's sports photographer friend took of us when we ran into him downtown

3. Tyler with my poodle Count Hans Axel von Fersen

4. Tyler's robbin tattoo 

5. Tyler after the tattoo

Should I sleep or put my clothes away? I guess I will find out! Catch ya later rockstars! 

N Y C you there

These photos were taken using a Canon point and shoot that has been modified to shoot infrared. But what we are really trying to say is that the DMM Team will be venturing out of the NYC offices for a little over a week. Jordan is heading west to L.A. and I am heading up north to Vermont. Jordan will be doing field research in addition to meet with some of contributors while I will be styling, shooting, and blogging. In fact I will be keeping a photo diary and will be doing a lot of blogging. 

See you soon Manhattan! We will miss you!
