My Pal Sam

I'm writing this while tucked into a cozy bed in a Long Island home soon to be sleeping 19 other people, so getting my sleepy peaceful time in while I can! The reason we're stuffing so many bodies into one space is for my dear friend Sam and a short we're filming for her latest collection, set to debut this September fashion week. It seems then, a fitting time to share these photos we took at my dad's home last month. Sam brought up a mix of her current collection (which you can now buy directly from her here) and her forthcoming collection (lil sneaky peek).

Snow Day

I think this a rather fitting occasion to share these photos as the city is quickly being covered in a blanket of snow. Welcome to New York fashion week visitors! Hope you brought your Sorels!


I put together a little soundtrack for Samantha's fashion week presentation that you can listen to here (well, a portion of it).


Stay warm and bundled friends, wear a sweater over your swimsuit!

Some snowy pictures from Instagram after the cut.

Snow Red

Some snow filled photos from our time up north. I borrowed this gorgeous Pre-Raphaelite red velvet dress from Samantha for some festive jogs through snow. These were taken Christmas day when we were treated to a wonderfully warm and sunny afternoon.

Tomorrow, or rather, today as it is now the early early morn and I'm putting off sleep in favor of watching "The Grand" (a nice bit of period soapy goodness) I'm heading off to Phoenix. I'm meeting up with Landon who is driving over after a busy and successful week in LA for the contemporary art fair! Looking forward to desert times, some warmer temperatures and hanging out with Landon's mum's chickens!

The Winds of Winter

 

Had a chance to update our neglected website of the same name along with this senescent space! It's a bit cumbersome to navigate at the moment but a few more hours of rambling off a variety of expletives in the manner Joe Pesci in Home Alone 2 should do the trick. You can push the pictures around like you would digging through a friend's old stack of memories, kinda fun I think!

I'm not sure what will come of this space moving forward. This year is going to bring about some big changes and I've got nervous do anything but what I've got to do feelings (which turns me into a marathon TV watcher, updater of forgotten websites, cooker of long meals and scratcher of head while staring blankly at wall). These are good changes though and once I've grown the vagina (way stronger than balls, guys) to make it happen no doubt the floodgates of communication will come swinging open.

Hope the first week of the new year has been kind to you all!

Gatineau Part One

Photos from our trip up to Chelsea last week with Samantha and Patrick.

The red boots pictured are from Samantha's latest collaboration with Wolverine. Comfortable, practical and beautiful, I went for a hike in them and no ankle twisted and all four cheeks of mine remained off of the ground. These are boots much like their creators, full of adventure and beauty (a million heart emojis). You can see the full collection of shoes here.

Landon, after completing his 15 pieces for an upcoming show at Galerie Torri in Paris. If you can, stop by on the 8th for the opening reception! It's a beautiful collection.

Still reeling from last week's trip to "my ancestral lands" (England) with my mum but will have to write about that when I'm of clearer mind and have gathered together a collection of photos to share. For now, as summer is slowly drawing to a hot end, a photographic peek at the last two months. I've been greedy for summer adventuring.
