Welcome to My Corner of NYC

Sorry for the long absence, but programming will now resume as usual.

One big change though, I have a schmancy new camera! (Correction, my school has lent me a schmancy new camera. But nonetheless....)
I finally feel like I have the technology to actually let you guys take a little peek into my world, so you'll probably see a lot more photographs around here! Not of me per say, since I don't trust myself enough with a tripod and borrowed property, but of the city anyway.

So here's my first batch from tromping around this week:

Welcome to my neighborhood guys!

Big Things

Been a bit up to the gills in work lately, but the good news is that fashion week started today!

Also that I will be meeting up with the lovely Jai of The Fat and Skinny tomorrow and going to see her school's runway show.

So please pardon the absence, but as always I've been posting plenty over on The Fat and Skinny and on Elle Girl, you know, in case you need your daily dose of my dulcet tones ; )

The High-waisted Pants Conundrum

Ever fall completely in love with an item, then have no idea how to wear it?

As I said, I love these pants. Deeply.

High-waisted, pleated, cropped, unflattering in all of the right ways.

Now I'm just stuck with how to wear them, since I've already gotten bored of the kitten heels and tee outfit.

Now what?

I've played around in polyvore for a little while and came up with a few outfits with things I have already in my closet (or close enough. How different are two pairs of black ballet flats really?)

Unfortunately, I don't have a going out outfit. I think my roommates would probably kill me if I wore them out at night, as they've already nick-named my pants, "pa-pa pants"* and offered to help burn them.

Well, there's no accounting for personal taste right?

And just to remind myself that spring will eventually arrive...

T by Alexander Wang

Who else is glad that fashion is actually having some fun?
YAY for awkward dancing!

Doesn't this just remind you of getting ready to go out on a Friday night, with lots of goofy dancing to your favorite songs?*

Loves.
Mr. Wang, you're my favorite.

* Or that time when we took over that dive bar at about 5 am down on 10th ave and the bartender was kind enough to let six girls take over his ipod and dance like crazy people.
Yeah.
Kind of like that.

Gap is Going Minimal

Gap, I'm very impressed.

You had a moment there where you had me worried.
I mean, you're basically my childhood store, you're where I used to go school shopping every September with my mom. I still own a pair of jeans from you circa 2002 (and hell yes I still wear them).

Then you tried to be J. Crew or something. But let's get real here Gap, not everything needs to be covered in sequins, ruffles, and random bits of tulle. Bad design can't hide behind flash and knick knacks.

So to say that I'm relieved that you're embracing minimalism is an understatement. I'm closer to ecstatic. While the whole new design collection hasn't dropped yet, there are a few promising jewels in the rough this season.

That racerback tank and ponte knit dress? Be still my heart.

S&M Rihanna

For that mid-week hump....

S&M by Rihanna

I know some people love her, some people hate her (I happen to love her), but this new music video is worth a watch.
I love how she absolutely rips into the press and exposes the ridiculous hypocrisy we have towards our celebrities. Whoever came up with this video certainly has a wicked sense of humor.

Plus, that ass Perez Hilton in a ball gag? What more do you want?
