states of alteration

Found this baby parked on Melrose today. Catig says Cam'ron ebayed it, bloggers said it was MTV VJ Lala's, who also ebayed one...maybe there's two?

23 sure does feel a lot like 22. I'd love to say I have a refreshed outlook and optimistic mood for my new year, but I'm just riding the high of having 700 or so odd Facebook friends wish me the best for a day.

I am at 23, however, enjoying being 23. For me this means coming to terms with the fact that you don't have to begin a career the day after you graduate, and you don't even have to know how you'll eventually get that career. Knowing that you want one seems like a good start, and having a general idea of what you enjoy and would like to do, for now, seems positive too.

While I may not have a salary, or even work full time, enjoying what I do takes precedence over all else right now. I don't have a mortgage, spouse or kids to worry about, so until I have obligations to make others happy, I'll continue to put myself first. 

And while I have always been ambitious and my own worst critic, I'm learning most importantly, that living, means relaxing a little.

I tried really hard not to blog about fashion week, but I'm sorry, it's MARC. Awhile back I noted that sometimes it feels like he's designing just for me; his showing in 2010's NYFW solidified that. Take a look at Garance's From The Front Row series below, and enjoy my favorite designer's fall collection, set too fittingly to my childhood favorite, Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

Birthday talk with Abary led to Alice in Wonderland talk, and as I was sifting through Hatter quotes, I stumbled upon this one by Alice herself: 

"I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!"

I know how it relates to me, but what does it mean to you?

I know we're still about 4 months out, but come on, the countdown has to send your heart a flutter...

...mine is.

One of the things I look forward to most online each day are tweets from Cafe Gratitude. In the overwhelming ocean of social media, it's tweeters like CG that stand out for doing more than providing followers with news blasts and celebrity updates. CG's Question Of the Day is a breath of fresh air and keeps me on my toes, questioning my motivations and decisions.

So what do I love? I love that I don't kid myself about the things I love. I am more confident then ever being the fashion-and-music-loving bohemian I've become. I'm pretty certain I was a teenager in the wrong decade (let's assume it should have been late 60's/early 70's), but I love the fact that I can still be that person at present. I find it no coincidence that I was watching my favorite movie and inspiration, at the time I read and answered this tweet.

If i were in NY, I would be here...

revamp in the works. things change and so should blogs...

Whose wedding is it anyway? Rich bride, poor bride. Say yes to the dress. Platinum weddings. I watch them all. But all i want is my marriage to be announced in the NY Times Style Section. I've checked it on a weekly basis for years, and can't wait to one day see my love story in print. And taking a page from Carrie and Big (Page Six to be exact) wouldn't be so bad either ;)

If there's ever a movie made about my life, this song has to soundtrack any tragedies. Terribly beautiful Mau5.

Today i merchandised BABY YOGA PANTS. BABY YOGA PANTS!! While I am all for your Namaste lifestyle, there's no way your 12 month old needs any of this stuff. I'm also disappointed to inform you that no, there were not matching mats :(

Between obsessive friends and obsessive sisters, I live in a world of Twilight references. My only question...

...Everyone loves a good palindrome. Reminds me of the name Hannah, which reminds me of Felicity, which will forever remind me of Dani and the Chino apt.

Question of the night: how do you have a sex life if you live at home?
