makin' it happen

A few posts ago, I mentioned the (ongoing) need in my life for more stripes. As much as I'd like to think that sitting around waiting for a St. James tee to fall into my lap might just work for once, this afternoon I decided to take matters into my own hands.

I discovered the other day, through polyvore of all places, that GAP Kids had a pretty sweet selection of striped tees. A short trip up Fifth Ave. later, and I am the proud owner of a brand spankin' new, super soft and comfy boys XXL top for all of $12.50. Boo. Yah.



Today was a beautiful day, which was a relief after a pretty nasty weekend. Sadly I had to spend most of it locked up in a dark editing lab (not working on my Super8 footage, not yet, but soon!) I bought myself a bunch of hyacinths last week to celebrate the unseasonably warm weather. They still look and smell good enough to eat.

Woo woo!! Ok, so, a couple of weeks ago I started an internship at FADER Magazine. My first piece for the Style section's blog went up today, and it just happens to be about another one of my all-time favorite blogs: Backyard Bill. Hopefully my byline will be popping up over there more frequently in the future, so keep your eyeballs peeled.

Shameless self-promotion aside, the FADER Style blog happens to totally rule. My favorite feature might be Itemized, but Thrintage is a close contender. I hear that the girl who writes it can't contribute so often anymore because she's in a band...but maybe that's just as well, since almost all the amazing thrift store she visits are in Cali-frickin'-fornia. Guuuuuuuuh.
