ghostly after glow







These are a bit old, but still so good.  Nan Goldin shot these for Lula Magazine featuring all Rodarte articles.  For one, I like the fact that the clothes are from various seasons.  Secondly, I love editorials like this for several reasons, but the number one being it shows the clothing in a different point of view and more casual than we usual see it coming down a runway.  You can really see the details in the clothing especially in the third to last shot.  That embroidered, mesh-like top is so beautiful stripped down, and unaltered by layers upon layers of clothing.

In other news, Philly has been quite the ugly duckling in terms of weather lately.  But I'm still content as ever.  I finally feel like life has slowed down in a way that I can be completely at ease with.  Don't get me wrong I'm still busy dealing with my relocation, and all the stresses that come with it, but I'm excited to finally start building a life as if I'm never going to move.  In college, I always held back from decorating or making things too permanent because I knew my location would probably change in a year.  I found an apartment and can't wait to move in mid January.  Its absolutely perfect with the exception of a few painted walls here and there. 

Happy Monday/New Year's Eve--here's to leaving work early and sparkly holiday plans!

assorted // for the head






Lately, especially with ever-dropping temperatures, I've been craving everything for the head.  Hats, beanies, I want them all.  I've really been drawn to felt hats, however, with their magical ability to make even the most grandma-ish sweater look parisian.  My love for the green bowler from Urban Outfitters up there also runs deep.  I immediately thought of Clemence Posey when I laid eyes on it.  The more fun ones include the idea of a beanie with a feather pom pom, such a nice alternative to the usual yarn types, as well as the embroidered baseball caps from Free People, the possibilities are endless.  From floppy to fit I love them all.  Hopefully some of these will be making their way into my closet soon.
Still dreaming...


P.S.  I'm guest posting my first week as an Assistant Designer at Urban Outfitters on the @URBN_scout instagram page!  Follow them on twitter and instagram for information about rad positions at the home offices of Urban, Anthropologie, Free People, Terrain, and BHLDN!! Its good stuff.
