style

this is perfection.

"For such girls every day means a new look. There are no hierarchies in their looks, no good or bad taste headaches, no worries over creative designers versus commercial brands. They're beyond that, smarter than that. They're consumers unburdened by neurotic complexes.

They're sardonic and polymorphic punk all at the same time. They like everything and believe nothing.

They like the power of brands, but dont trust in tradition, in luxury, in quality or in any kind of permanence. They love fashion but dont respect it. every day they dress up differently, and every day they're sexy. what counts for them is whats good for them, right now! how they feel, right now!"

-Terry Richardson in Purple Magazine

hilarity

today was completely crazy and hectic, but i loved every minute of it. my best friend and i babysat 6 girls for the past 10 hours. ranging from age 4-10, these little tykes were hilarious to be around. we spent the gorgeous vineyard day cruising in the suburban with music blasting and singing, going to an old diner and ordering way too many french fries, visiting an alpaca farm (which are cousins to llamas and camels), and going down the water slide at the beach club way too many times.

i forgot how much fun it is to babysit! i can't wait to do it all over again tomorrow.

glamazons

i got back last night from an awesome long weekend in nyc and nj. we spent the days frolicking in the city, with lots of shopping, a guggenheim trip, lunch in bryant park, sushi dinners, a movie trip to see the amazing inception, and relaxing nights in with a bottle of wine. i made some great purchases, including a louis vuitton damier ebene speedy 30, a great turqouise banded skirt, a neon pink lace bra, a lose skull tank, a tan fedora, and a brown/black tee all from h&m. i also found the perfect scent that i was looking for, Burberry London.

hopefully the weather will clear up for a gorgeous weekend in the Vineyard.
