papa

Photobucket
Last week my grandfather passed away.

While my heart is pretty broken, day-by-day, as I remember the man he was, I find myself uplifted.

Papa would always ask about my blog (or as he called it, my “blob”). He’d crack joke after joke, sometimes being horrifyingly politically incorrect (which he somehow always got away with), and make us laugh until our faces hurt.
Whether he was joining my siblings and me for a bike ride, teaching us Yiddish, or the lessons he taught us on the golf course, he brought us all together while making each of us feel special.We’d spend hours together, sharing the moments that mattered most - many of which were over pancakes and eggs; some of which were spent grazing at Costco.

A dentist (he’d slip us candy that’d rot our teeth). A husband. A father. A grandfather. A role model. A best friend. A renaissance man. Our Papa was the most loving person I’ve ever known. He brought joy to so many people. And, although he is no longer here, his memory will live on in all of us. His success in life and the family that he built is a legacy that we will carry on.

We owe who we are to you. Thank you Papa.

I love you.

For 23 years, Australian brand Scanlan & Theodore has been bridging the gap between the fine arts and fashion—creating lookbook gold with photographers like Bill Henson. For spring '11, they're at it again, this time collaborating with famed shutterbug Nan Goldin and supermodel Erin Wasson to show off their grunge-glamorous evening wear. Classically cut dresses in lush fabrics create understated drama and easy elegance for nights spent out or—if you're going to do it Erin Wasson-style—in. - Refinery 29

More of the collection here.

Really admire Marina Ekroos's lovely and clever collection of visual recipe
photographs. She captures every step and ingredient (from start to finish) of a given recipe in one single frame. Don't the cinnamon rolls look particularly delish?

More in her portfolio.

Snuggling up with tea and magazines in oversized sweaters is the ultimate during this rainy season. Especially when the sweater is as intriguing as this Bodkin Braided Caos number.

a peek inside vanessa traina's apartment

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
Last week, we got a peek inside Coco Rocha's Manhattan apartment, and now some snaps of Vanessa Traina's West Village apartment have pleasantly popped up in Bazaar.

"The Selby shot Vanessa Traina's West Village apartment for Bazaar magazine in what may be the biggest eff-you to PETA since Giorgio Armani designed fur coats for babies. In addition to couches full of pillows made from some unidentified hairy creature, Traina has a king-sized fur bedspread, a tiger-skin rug (snarling head still attached) and a large taxidermied zebra that her dad sent her when she moved in. " - The Cut

Roaar.

More photos of her place, as captured by The Selby's Todd Selby here.

One-shoulder puff dresses, ruffled LBDs, textured trenches, and tuxedo tops are exactly what we'd all hoped Alber Elbaz would diffuse for his H&M collection. The full collection hits stores in November (that's 30 pieces and 15 accessories for women, and 25 pieces and 10 accessories for men).

J'amazing! Let the counnnnntdown begin!

mix master

PhotobucketPhotobucket
This week marks the busiest of my life. The getting dressed half asleep thing has dubbed me the mix master queen. Pajama pants on accident with lace up wedge boots, my boyfriends worn-the-day-before-and-was-on-the-floor-button-up and a leather jacket did happen. Oddly enough..nobody noticed!

p.s. I went to sleep at 9pm last night. Personal record. And this busyness is all for really awesome business (<--nerdiest sentence ever?). Excited to share in the next several months.

a peek inside coco rocha's apartment

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
Decorating my new apartment has launched an entirely new fascination with other people's living spaces so I was thrilled to discover that Coco Rocha has opened up her two-bedroom Gramercy Park, Manhattan apartment for this shoot with
Vogue.

Some things of note: Andy Warhol’s actual candleholders which she found at an estate sale (picture 1), her collection of teapots (second pic) "from all the different places I have been to for photo shoots — from Morocco to Michigan” and the handbag piggy bank, which Rocha says is one of her favorite things: “I love how at first glance it looks like a YSL bag, but when you take a closer look you realize it actually reads, 'yove saved la rent.' It’s genius!”

More of Coco's apt on
Vogue.
