dig?
i already have some posts up, go check it out!

it seems like years ago already

i am SO BEHIND. so so so very blogbehind.
this FASHION WEEK we speak of, it's all a whirlwind of people and flashes and smalltalk and taxis and derek blasberg obsessively tweeting tavi's every move (does someone have a crush?)

i am gonna try to stick to chronology but time may get a tad ELASTIC on here in the days to come, bear with me please.

lets start with:
the party, the POP party. friday night.
larry gagosian's house. (when i say "house" i mean, HOUSE. elevator, sick art, amazing furniture..a swimming pool wth a clear plastic cover that coubled as dancefloor? NO BIG DEAL)

i, of course, danced most of the time? and didn't really take pictures?


me & laia, wine wine wine

i met gwen stefani and her huband BUSH. they look exactly like papparazzi photos of them; quite attractive. bjork was there and sofia coppola and proenzas and like, everyone?
i met MARYKATE which was sorta epic.


covergirl in rodarte

i tried to work up the courage all night to say something ANYTHING to olivier zahm, but i chickened out. and he was too busy dancing with daphne guinness ANYWAYS.


laia's boots

once my I R L friend alex "new haircut" hawgood showed up i was a crazed out dance machine. alex even got tavi out on the floor and totally made her kick out the jams.


alex. yohji anorak, ok? don't worry about it.

the amount of art in this house made my heart happy and hurt at the same time. so much goodness on every wall. the room we checked our COATS in was full of like, 30 warhols. amaze.


kate, shortstack, father of shortstack

laia & i stayed laaaaaaaate late with our POPgal becks and larry himself. talkin music and 90s.
you know why i loved larry gagosian? BECAUSE LARRY GAGOSIAN LOVES THE 90S.
to quote him:
"i love the 90s. they were just like the 70s but with tons of cash"
and i died.


hiding, gossiping, nerd alerting

my girl likes to..

friday night BEFORE the POP party was one of the best times i have had in a while. stevie, kat, adf and teens hung out and drank wine and ate chinese and helped me get all GUSSIED UP for the night...total teen movie montage of trying on and goofing off !

after a lot of freaking out about not having anything FANCYPANTS enough for the night, i got it together and i wore:



(i consider this my HOMAGE to katie grand...)

vintage dress, bonkers bracelet by MAWI, hairbow (not worn that night, but a dearly loved gift) by LOULOULOVESYOU.




vintage capelet, bag by laren merkin, prada shoes, that mawi bracelet ( i die for it)

and i cannot let it go without saying:
photos that actually make me look good (no small feat) by the always magical ADF.

party pics to come!

does mark ronson read POP?

i'm sorry, but there my be a little bit of POP OVERLOAD on this blog for the next few days, i am JUMPING AROUND with excitement to see ourselves in the issue!!!

here is one scan so far, we clean up pretty good, IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF:



the photos were shot by jamie morgan, who was a tiny bit of an older brit dude crush for me, i can't lie.
i was TERRIFIED of this photoshoot, and having anxiety attacks, and he made me feel totally chill and i actually..had fun?

except for the fact that he kept calling us "punky funky nerds". punky funky? NERDS? ok fine, i can take nerd. but FUNKY sounds like moms buying feather boas for a GALS NIGHT OUT.

BUT I DIGRESS.
i got to wear gucci and now i have a decent photo of myself for when i get real old.
can't wait to share the rest when i get it....!
