After the longest day EVER yesterday, waking up at 6:45 to have my stylist come to my apt and tone the brassiness out of my hair, working my regular job, pulling shoes and accessories for the lookbook I'm styling Sunday, and styling one of my favorite clients Ms. Shirley for a big big big party Saturday, this was the outfit I pulled together. And I have to say I LOVE it. The variety of colors and textures that on paper sound like visual diarrhea actually compliment and contrast perfectly on the body. Not to mention I am as comfortable as can be. My shorts were a DIY project. I bought an xxl men's cardigan, cut off the sleeves and had them sewn into shorts. If you'd like to create a pair for yourself here is the BEST hint I can offer, MAKE CERTAIN that the sweater is as BIG as possible, otherwise the sleeves are too skinny and your @ss looks huge, clearly this was a trial and error situation for myself. I also think these types of shorts are best suited with crazy colors and prints, and put together with things out of the ordinary, other patterned sweaters, sequin shifts (like I choose), floral print, abstract colored button downs. Try mismatching, I promise its easy as can be and looks pretty f*cking cool in my opinion. Happy Friday everyone....next week FASHION WEEK....

I'm channeling the 90's in a serious way today, the denim button down, name plate belt, and the neon pink hair. I was on the fence about permanently dying my hair pink sporadically through the ends, but after using spray color (washes out) I've realized that although its fun, its def just a phase and I shouldn't make that commitment, spray is just fine for me. What does everyone think??

I took these photos specifically for a Japanese magazine, but the magazine is only sold at very specific book stores in the states and having shared the first photo on my blog (my new header) I thought I should share the rest. The outfit is a lot preppier than I would normally dress, but I like the change. The softness and femininity of the pale pink with cream detailing of the shorts, the ever so 80's avocado hounds tooth blazer and stacks and stack of rhinestone necklaces pulled the look together in a very "Tess" sort of way. Also here is the first color photo of my newest Yves Saint Laurent 3 stone jade ring, Isn't is stunning??? I'm still pushing along with my YSL cocktail ring obsession. Actually I think I'm due in for a stop by their boutique...hmmm perhaps tomorrow :)

Its still f*cking cold in NYC, and I'm getting a little anxious for spring to come already. As a creature of habit I tend to stack on and wear the same jewelry for extended periods of time, get sick of it and move on. So now I'm trying something a little different. Changing it up everyday :) Today's theme was clearly green, and luckily for me I had a few different styles and shades to choose from and stack on, because you know I'm incapable of wearing just one ring ;) Also, check out my new coat...it was $20.00 at one of the 78 thrift stores I went to in Canada. Not only was it incredibly inexpensive, but it feels like I'm wearing a teddy bear, its sooo snugly,light weight, warm and cozy. It really couldn't be better.

FINALLY....I'm able to share some exciting news with you all....I am featured (an entire page dedicated to me) in the newest issue of FUTURE CLAW magazine (an incredible, photography based magazine), amongst other talented, artists, actors, designers and kids to know and love, make SURE to pick it up when it drops in about a week or so...Happy Friday.

I'm on the cover of Daily Single today, YIPPIEEE. Although some of my answers were said in jest...now they will haunt me forever, he he. Take a look at the real deal here.

bits and pieces

Something about black and white photos look and feel more poetic to me. All photos were taken waiting for, or on my flights to and from Canada. Key things to take notice of, my new- vintage moschino "no comment" belt that I find so hilarious, my insane 3 stone Yves Saint Laurent ring, Mary Frances "pearls of wisdom" oober embellished bag, vintage boots and top hat that are reminiscence of a clockwork orange. On another note its crazy snowing out again, gearing up to go snap some pics in this gorgeous weather. Wish me luck staying warm, brrrrr and what do you think about my new purchases?

I'm back!!! Canada was sooooo cold and soooo amazing! I spent every waking moment with my best friend Alison doing our favorite things: eating homemade mexican food, thrift shopping, watching movies, dancing so uncoordinated to really bad, really loud music and just catching up. It was fantastic to get out of New York even for the weekend. Dealing with Toronto weather i.e -20 degree weather and trying to look "cute" gave me a fresh new perspective on how to dress in NY. Plus now I feel like a super hero, able to endure even the extreme colds that New York can present. I have so many projects in the works right now and I found and bought sooo many gems at the canadian thrift stores, I can't wait till I'm able to share them with you!!! I'm happy to be back...did you miss me?
