big things

so, i have to apologize once again for the deafening blog silence.

but this time, i have a really good excuse.

i'm moving to los angeles.

you may remember that i have a slight obsession with the place, and particularly the difference between east and west coast style.

if you don't remember, you can read more here.

and here.

so, i'm very excited by the move, but also so sad to be leaving nyc, which does really feel like the city of my heart. thank god it's not going anywhere!

ok, i'll be posting more about what fun we'll have in the la fashion scene soon.... but now i have about a million things to do- call movers, find a place to live, get rid of al my winter coats, test drive cars (omg, i have to get a CAR!) etc...

phew!

style in the suburbs

so, i was only supposed to be here in the boston burbs for about two weeks.

but, the design process is taking a little longer than expected, and i'm back here for the next few days. i got a much smaller car, which feels a lot more comfy... and i got a two bedroom suite, which is ridiculous.

one thing that i've learned here in the suburbs is the propensity to shop online. i never really thought about the fact that in most american towns, the boutiques are closed by the time work is over. so..... no shopping after work.

this offends my new york sensibilities.

so, i've joined the club, and started shopping online. here are a couple of the things i'm looking forward to unpacking, once i get home on wednesday:

(skirt only. from my favorite online vintage store. nope, not telling.)

(vivienne westwood skyscraper seditionary boots from zappos. an amazing deal. definitely sharing.)

i didn't plan it, but i guess i have been inspired by the marc jacobs and louis vuitton fall shows.

so sue me. i'm in a fashion wasteland, here!

ten years.....
