Swan Song
"When all the world is young, lad,
And all the trees are green;
And every goose a swan, lad
And every lass a queen;
Then hey for boot and horse, lad,
And round the world away:
Young blood must have its course, lad,
And every dog his day.”
-Charles Kingsley
Love of My Life?
Amdist all the fashion week madness it's easy for some of us to forget that today is Valentine's Day...which really isn't so awful, since the only reason I like this holiday is it usually involves chocolate (from my father). Anyway, today seemed like a good day to mention the cheesy, but awesome site Love of My Life created by husband of blog-goddess JenLovesKev.
The site features proclamations of love from all over the world. It's a simple set-up: fall in love, download their poster, photograph it, and upload to share with others. In Kev's own words, "I started this project for three reasons. First, to show my wife how much I love her. Second, to give others a simple way to do the same for their significant others. Third, and probably most important, is to help show people how good it is to love and be loved. My hope is that when people start participating and posting flyers, others would see the flyers and notice the movement."
Long after the pictures are snapped the posters remain and possibly spread the message to the cynical. The photographs are already pouring into the site from Berlin, Germany to Maui, Hawaii and many places in-between. Decidedly sacchrine, but definitely romantic, this project had to be mentioned today...

Everything Is Going To Be Amazing
I'm in New York right now for fashion week and there's quite a cocktail of excitement and nervousness making some butterflies in my stomach. So, the above is my mantra. Olly Moss's other work is just as great.

Adventures Of The Traveling Beret
I recently participated in a traveling beret project created by the super stylish Shan Shan who makes the most amazing berets (I will own one of her beret's one day!). She featured the pictures I took on her blog and said the most lovely things. It's was such an honor to be invited by Shan Shan to participate in this project!
It's My Birthday And I'll Blog If I Want To
So, today is my birthday and I'm officially twenty-four years old! Anyway, I was just letting you know...now I'm off to parade around in twinkle lights and stuff my face with yummy food. Happy un-birthday to all of you!
Insomnia Is Almost An Oasis
So the other night I couldn't fall asleep and as my nail polish was looking chipped and boring, I decided to paint my nails a new color. Hours of sleeplessness later I decided to embellish them a bit more. After posting a picture on my Twitter & Tumblr I received a couple of requests for a tutorial...so here goes:
-begin by painting your nails black (allow to dry)
-paint the tips with one coat of metallic gold/bronze; you don't have to be exact or uniform
-with polish still slightly tacky put on a layer of glitter on tips (I used Happy Birthday by Lippman)
-add more glitter polish as you desire
I really like how they turned out; it reminds me of Erdem Fall 2010 RTW...
The Haunts Of Nature
Sometimes when I take pictures they don't turn out how I intended and I can't stand the final product...this picture is from one of those days. It was the only one in the set I like and I couldn't resist sharing it even though the rest were deleted. I'm wearing my Gal Stern tights and Seychelles booties. I was inspired to wear the tights after seeing Pansy Lane wear hers in a recent outfit post.
A Collection Of Mistakes Is Called Experience
The blog A Collection A Day features exactly what the title would imply: one collection every day. It's a project in documentation; most collections are photographed, but some are drawn or painted and they are faithfully posted every single day. From emerald leaves to vintage deer the artful attention paid to each set's arrangement catches the eye. For the holiday season Lisa Congdon has been featuring some of her Christmas collections and they're too pretty not to share.

Puppy Love
We just added to our family with a sweet little puppy; newly named Tom, or Tom-Tom, or Tommy depending upon mood. He is a Cavaliar King Charles spaniel like our other dog, Gus. So far he is a wiggly bundle of energy with the softest fur. Friends and family have been demanding pictures of him, so I thought I might as well share them here as well.
