i saw the most beautiful dress the other day. most interesting cut and textile design i've seen in a long while.

dress by serial cultura via una (portland). also, just love this quote:

this is from my instagram feed (@bauwau). i finally enlarged a pic of the manhattan skyline that we took (via greenpoint) for our wedding invitation suite. got the idea via a desert fete long ago. just need to hang it.
anyhoo... gettin' on a jet plane and headin' to ny early tomorrow morn. haven't been in a full year. plans: eat luke's lobster. get haircut (for first time since last feb). see a few shows. eat good sushi (can not wait). eat yummy ramen. eat eat eat. see friends (yay!). go to the park. visit the met. visit the moma. visit shops galore... can't wait. xx

p.s. i absolutely can't shake m.i.a.'s born free, featuring suicide's martin rev. such a good song.

p.p.s. did i mention i haven't packed yet? it's 9:37pm. i leave the house at 5:45am. ...

it got chilly this weekend!!! i'm looking forward to breaking out this quilt that my mom made using some of caitlin's fabric. (soon, we'll have a few mociun curtains, too.) :)

this pic from backstage at tsumori chisato fw 11 makes me want to cut my hair (again). i love everything about this pic: style, hair, colors... so cute. xx

found here via rennes' beautiful "leaving the house" outfit. :)

i've been playing bass in my husband's band. we have a show coming up & i'm trying to figure out how to channel my inner kazu.

a few shots from our recent trip to nyc...

sunday "dinner" with aunt mary in ct.

a trip to bird, w'burg.

i think i've found the best affordable florist in the city. he's on 9th ave (between 51st & 52nd) & does wonders with ranunculus.

ate lots of good food: pho (at cha pa's) & brunch (at five leaves)...

and dessert (at momofuku milk bar).

junky jewelry in hell's kitchen & a stroll thru the old 'hood (williamsburg).

shadows & reflections at marc jacobs

funky mosaics: east village optometrist & dolly parton bathroom (at vinyl).

pink brooklyn sunsets...

fluorescent hay bails at rodarte. waiting to interview the mulleavy sisters (who are chatting with miss tavi).

during nyc fashion week, you can't miss legendary ny times documentary fashion photographer, bill cunningham, in his blue jacket & 35mm film camera snapping up street-style & the glitterati alike. he's the original sartorialist. this march, a new documentary & portrait of the artist (as an older, 82 year old man) will be released: bill cunningham new york. look for it!




i took this (slightly fuzzy!) iphone photo of mr. cunningham at last season's calvin klein show as he perused the front row. love him.

fashion week on the brain...

it's curious how easily a little harmless window shopping turns into my own private polyvore.
tonight's perfect outfit (l-r): rachel antonoff hitchcock dress, marais chelsea boot, & iosselliani gold skull earrings (all via bonadrag)

last season, i had the opportunity to intern with brooklyn designer & creative lady extraordinaire, caitlin mociun. among the highlights for me were working on a few of her newest fall prints (as shown below), as well as shooting the spring & fall 2010 collections.
caitlin's newest collection is up on her online store now. it's a beautiful mix of silks, signature prints, and multi-functional silhouettes. check it out here.

loving these striped spring '11 looks from (l-r) comme des garçons & junya watanabe.

or these little ditties from madewell:
