during my trip to new york, i was hellbent on squeezing in some shopping time amidst our busy tumblr schedule. on this particular day, i convinced sara zucker to take me to the ace hotel to do a bit of shopping at opening ceremony. unfortunately, the chloe sevigny dress that i was so dead-set on getting, was no longer available in my size. boo hoo. so we browsed around and chatted with the shop boy until there was barely enough light out for a proper outfit photo! oh, the trials and tribulations of being a blogger… hah!

so here i am in front of opening ceremony in my outfit for the day. i don’t know if you can make it out in these photos, but i am wearing a silly little kitty pin with googly eyes. and i’m wearing my brand new swedish hasbeens high heeled jodhpur boots. i absolutely love them, but i guess i wasn’t paying close enough attention to the measurements, because they are too small for my feet! i ordered the euro size 38, which translates to an american size 7.5. just a half size too small for my toes! if you’re interested in buying them, shoot me an email and i will give you a deal! update: they’re sold!

oh hello there! by the time you’ve read this, i will be happily sitting on a plane on my way to new york for fashion week! this is the outfit i wore yesterday to work, and is probably what i will be wearing on the plane because it’s just so perfectly comfortable. except i will probably be wearing double tights, a pair of boots, and my new leopard print coat, since the forecast in new york is an unfathomable 28 degrees. the process of preparing and packing was been pretty arduous to say the least, so i hope i’ll be prepared for all of the events ahead of me.

and oh yes! i am making lots of silly faces in today’s post. my lovely friend lindsay snapped my photos during a quick break from work and she did a pretty good job of catching some candid shots of me being goofy. i think these are probably a more accurate representation of what i look like in real life. in that picture below, i think i’m dropping the f-bomb because a big bus full of people got out right in front of us. oh yeah! and i just realized that i’m debuting my latest haircut as well. i got it cut by my pal shannon dean of revamp salon and it’s getting awfully close to the old bob. i’m quite happy with the progress so far.

anyway, if you’re going to be in new york for fashion week, shoot me an e-mail or send me a little tweet so we can try to meet up! or if you’re just interested in seeing what i’m up to, be sure to follow me on twitter and tumblr to get status updates. bon voyage!
