Long Weekend With André
I've always been really inspired by video. It's something I hope to explore in college and beyond. There is an undeniable connection between fashion and film, and the two have been intertwined since the camera was invented. Here are a few short films that I absolutely love.
I should warn you... Woody Allen is one of my greatest influences. I think hes a genius. He is a genius actually. His genius is that he is he own subject. I find that narcissistic self obsessiveness absolutely brilliant.

So my loves, it was my last day hanging with the big leagues today! I was genuinely really sad when I got out of the Lincoln tunnel and took a last look at New York! Well, obviously not my last look, but my last look as a new yorker working in the fashion industry.... I promise I'll be back though.
These are some photos of the PR office I worked at part time - Marie Saeki PR. I had a lovely time, and Marie gave me an adorable Petit Bateau dress and some t-shirts as a thank you gift! I simple adore them and the hassle of commuting 4 hours a day was well worth the opportunity.
Selma Optique sunglasses
Barbara Briones shoes
You may be seeing the woven booties in Anthropology next season!
Petit Bateau
Alice Ritter + Marie's own collection of rain coats called Terra NYC... Karlie Kloss was wearing it in the latest issue of Vogue!

behind the scenes
So as promised, here are the photos I sneaked from a few of the photo shoots I've been too. I don't think its technically allowed, but I did it for all of you!
Bloomingdales August/September catalogue
Marie Claire color-blocking shoot for the September issue!
Yes, those are the final edits from the shoot... shh! Don't tell anyone there here (and by here I mean my public blog, so anyone can see them if they looked).
Make sure you all look at the September issue of Marie Claire and see it up close!
What it looks like when my job is done. Yes, all those clothes go into plastic trunks taped with packing tape.
And all the glamour is gone...
glorious
What a beautiful day in the city today! It's day like this when I feel physical pain walking into the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Well, it's painful everyday, but if you've ever seen central park on a warm sunny day you know what I mean. I am at the PR office today working away on the usual sending and returning.
Yesterday was the Jessica Simpson look book shoot that I previously mentioned, which was fairly boring. The cool part was that we were shooting at Milk Studios down the street from Chelsea Market. These studios are well known in the industry as places for crazy parties and where a lot of designers show their collections. Sometimes instead of a runway, a designer will just show their collection on models standing on podiums and viewers mill around looking and taking notes. The whole studio has two floors, which we were unfortunately on the less exciting one. The top floor has an open bar where hardworking fashion types drink free champagne as they shoot the September issue of Vogue. That's definitely glamorizing the job by a lot, but a photo shoot can be known to be a good time. The floor we were on was still very nice, with a coffee and raw juice bar replacing the alcohol. And the best part is you order whatever you want, and tell them to put it on 'studio C's tab'. That aspect of my day surely made up for the fact that Jessica Simpson has successfully designed 20 pairs of dress pants that all look the same.
While I'm on the topic, I would like to make a correction from my previous post. Yesterday I said Jessica Simpson's shoes were uncomfortable, which I then slyly crossed out and replaced with 'lovely'. I still think most of her shoes are not the best, but I totally fell in love with a pair of suede Mary Janes from her new fall collection that we were shooting. Naturally they don't come out until July, but I snapped a quick picture so I could show all of you. Me and Isabel are both going to buy a pair and send each other outfit photos with our classy new shoes. The best part about them is they are so comfortable! A really good point Isabel made yesterday is that there is nothing more unattractive then a women in heels who can't walk in them. To all you men out there: Isn't that the truth? Anyway they have a very Alexa Chung look to them and you will definitely see me sporting a pair this fall on the streets of Chicago.

Alexa when she had the most amazing talk show ever
How similar are they from the Jessica Simpsons? And I'm pretty sure Alexa's are YSL...
