What I Wore: 9.17.08

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

I’ve been hanging out in the picture-perfect storybook version of America all week with Gala Darling. It’s quite surreal; when not wandering the streets of Manhattan, we split our days between lounging on a massive red velvet couch and a porch swing, blogging until our eyes bleed.

I wore:
Dress, H&M
Tunic, Urban Outfitters
Leggings, Forever 21
Boots, Dries Van Noten
Purse, […]

The Virgo Birthday Extravaganza: Afterparty Edition!

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

Nubs & The Corn prepare to launch! (Photo by Gilda)
After we’d returned from the Central Park Extravaganza, Gala and I invited some friends including ladybloggers Star, Gilda and Marie back to our room at the Hotel on Rivington. We soon found out that Marie had snuck along a little something extra in her bag…a corn suit!
I’d […]

The Virgo Birthday Extravaganza: 2008

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Gala Darling and I did our joint birthday celebration / union in Central Park’s Strawberry Fields on Saturday afternoon and it was absolutely magical! I flew to New York overnight without any time to adjust (or sleep) beforehand so it felt very surreal as I ran around the city doing pre-party errands with Star, Marie […]

Party Time!

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

Being a Virgo, my birthday is rapidly approaching. This year, I will be turning 27 (official date: September 14th)!!! I have an upstanding tradition of celebrating my birthday with friends in New York City every year, but this one in particular is going to be extra super special! Why, you ask?!
Gala Darling is also a […]

The Week in Pictures: 8.22.08

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Life has been exceptionally good lately. Gala (my Virgo soulmate) and I have been feverishly planning our joint birthday celebrations in Central Park on September 13th! Since we’re on opposite sides of the world at the moment (she’s in New Zealand & I’m in Oregon), there’s been a flurry of emails constantly flying, sometimes up […]

How I Became a Twitter Addict (And Why You Should, Too!)

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

I’ll freely admit that I was a long standing Twitter holdout. With profiles on Facebook, Myspace, Flickr, Behance, Buzznet, Live Journal and my personal blog already clogging my schedule, the motivation for adding another social networking site to my list of engagements was definitely lacking. Months of being preached to about the positive virtues of […]

What I Wore: 7.10.08

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

The night before I left New York, photographer Bianca Alexis did an epic photo shoot of Gala Darling and I on a West Village rooftop. She is the lighting master!
In the first set of photos, Gala and her 5 inch licorice strap platforms towered over me. I need some massive heels for next time!

Gala wore:
Hat from Urban Outfitters
Raspberry […]

Quite possibly the best sign ever outside of the Marc Jacobs store, NYC

Hello Lovelies,
Please forgive my tardiness in posting; I spent the entire morning in the friendly skies, flying from New York to Phoenix. I am still adjusting to the drastic shift in surroundings and time zone!
This week has been beyond action packed! Normally, I only visit […]

What I Wore: 7.5.08

Monday, July 7th, 2008

The other night, I was in a mad rush to Gala’s place in the West Village, but thankfully Bianca stopped me in my tracks and shot me in the middle of 1st and St. Marks in the East Village. It was a pretty funny experience because she would wait till the light turned, have me […]

My Top 5 Defining Moments in New York City

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

I have a love affair with New York City. Since 2001, it has been my travel destination of choice. Now, on my eighth trip to the city, it’s hard to put my finger on what exactly the allure is. All I know is that the most amazing (and sometimes wacky!) occurrences seem to happen when […]

Puttin’ On the Ritz!

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

Hello, lovelies! This is just a reminder that I am in the amazing confines of NYC at the moment, so my posting may be less frequent. But, I have so many photographic treasures (and videos, too!) to share when I return home on the 13th.
Until then, here’s a quick recap of the last two days:
I had a […]

Mastering the Art of Bed Jumping!

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Bed jumping is an art. It requires great poise and agility. Yes, it should be an Olympic sport! To get started, all you need is a loose fitting outfit and a cushy bed. Mine was in a NYC hotel room, complete with a leather headboard!
To be a bed jumping star, follow my simple tips:

1. Act like you […]

New York: Brooklyn Butter Dish

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

One of my favorite stores in New York City, FISHS EDDY on 19th and Broadway specializes in “American sturdyware,” dishware from diners and restaurants across the country as well as new lines from various designers. I have collected vintage dishes for years; when I recently visited, this place was a haven! I bought some airline […]

MUJI: Japanese Perfection in Simplicity

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

I love MUJI. A brand of Japanese basics encompassing over 7,000 items, the brand prides itself on being high quality, simple, and affordable. Best of all, MUJI uses as little packaging as possible. There aren’t layers of packaging hiding the product; instead, you can immediately see what it is (even though the labels are in […]

New York: Central Park and Strawberry Fields

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

Last week, I visited Central Park for the first time ever and it was even better than I expected. The weather was about 80 degrees and since it was a weekday, the park was pretty empty which was nice considering that is has 25 million visitors annually! The construction of the park was completed in […]

New York: The Swiss Institute

Monday, September 24th, 2007

The Swiss Institute is a venue featuring art by Swiss artists in New York City. It is located on 495 Broadway (3rd floor) in a Soho loft and is definitely worth a visit. Admission is free and exhibits change about every two months. The space is spare and modern and there are often films […]

The Seventh Goodbye

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007

Today was the start of Oktoberfest and my last morning in New York City, so I joined friends at Zum Schneiders’ German restaurant on Avenue C for lunch and drinks. It was a fitting goodbye, since I just missed all the Oktoberfest festivities in Portland. I’m sitting at JFK waiting for my plane to board… I’ll […]
