Anticipating Thanksgiving & hanging out with family like nobody’s business. Chinese food > turkey. DUH.
pretty much the story of our relationship. happy sunday everyone! xo
Currently in Lacey, Washington (an hour from Seattle) at Saint Martins University enjoying Neil give a small group of students a talk on hustle, ambition and the art of djing. These are the moments that remind me why I fell in love with him in the first place- his humility, humbleness and kindness are second to none. Jokes aside, he was who he was before he got there. And he’ll always remind me to stay the same way. x
Ever fall asleep with a light on? A team of researchers examined how nocturnal light affects weight, body fat and glucose intolerance in male mice. They found that persistent exposure to even a little night-time light leads to increases in all three. Expect some very odd diet plans to follow.
Luncheon at the infamous CLUB 33 with my dearest Thomas Neil to commemorate our one year anniversary. He’s way more excited about the points he’s accumulating on FourSquare but as long as he’s happy in some way shape or form, I’m happy too.
Here’s to many more amazing memories and the good life.
i fight to not think of the random bits of you have that infiltrated my life, but there they are. familiar movies. a collaboration here and there. dilla over the eternal sunshine soundtrack. even as my travel sites send weekly specials, a trip over the pond seems to subconsciously jump out at me. am i wrong for wondering the what ifs? for sharing them when they should be locked up in a deep, dark, secret spot somewhere? i am completely and undeniably in love, but the impact you made on my life is undeniable. you were the first person to push me to be better, and i was too young and naive to see it then. now, im simply haunted by what may have never been.
seeing the height difference on my favorite fashion photographer couple makes me feel infinitely better about towering over neil when im in 5” stilettos :)
note to Celine: merci beaucoup for making high waisted wide leg trousers acceptable once more. if Balmain/Givenchy had a simplistic sister, Celine would be it. these houses can do no wrong.
the last year was consumed by love, happiness, trust and excitement. she wondered if those feelings would ever go away - if the bitterness of the daily grind would ever come back. now? now, all feels lost. now, the only way to go is up. and there, everything is at peace.
media day at Formula DRIFT Irwindale. brought out the homies joy (slamxhype) and jupiter (undftd) to meet 2009 champion Chris Forsberg. FD was the first client I ever worked on 3+ yrs ago when I first started at the agency and still some of my favorite folks to be around.
“We’re never so vulnerable than when we trust someone - but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy.”
how quickly everything turns to shit.
salvaged slightly by satin Givenchy pumps in the mail (super steal via ebay three days prior), perfectly brewed jasmine tea imported from china and the Fryderyk Chopin channel on Pandora. stilettos aside, i like to think of myself as a simple girl.
about to update my resume for the first time in almost two years, and i feel utterly lost. im proud of my writing abilities, but the act of transcribing my personal accomplishments and scope of work with clients renders me absolutely speechless. what if i pigeon-hole myself too much? what if i sound like a pretentious bitch? what if i sell myself short? what if everything is all fine and dandy… but it’s still not enough? failure looms around every corner and this damn feeling of anxiety just wont settle.
The video of the Lanvin show on Garance’s blog gave me goosebumps for three straight minutes. This is a collection worth selling a kidney for. vraiment incroyable!
Inspired by A.Wang thermals & Hanneli this morning. Of course my braid fell out before I even arrived at the office, but whatever. Also, been living makeup free for the last two weeks or so. Looking like a 12 year old guarantees less creepers trying to holler.

Dying to go to Tokyo or Milan for my birthday next year. Other suggestions?

my mind has been an absolute clusterfuck the last few days. im confused and scared and no amount of thinking or discussion has been able to calm me down. im dying for it to be january already so i can feel a sense of clarity in life knowing that im officially done with school… but truth be told, school is the only thing keeping me sane right now. this is the most space ive had to myself in a long time and its absolutely suffocating. i no longer know what i want, or even who i am. all i know is that twenty… twenty fucking years isnt enough to know. it isnt enough time to answer all the questions that loom on the horizon of a cross-country move, and increasingly serious relationship. it isnt enough time to have shit even marginally figured out. it isnt enough time…
we never have enough time…
The N.E.R.D station on Pandora has been blasting all morning as I clean. Even his weirdo singing voice is perfect.
