.3:08 bliss.

picture of my afternoon-last minute discretionary time crept up on me; which led to a favourite pastime of mine, quiet bookstores and a stack of fashion/architectural and design books.

.giorgio di sant'angelo, ooo la la.

below are a few images from the giorgio di sant'angelo exhibit, a famous designer known for his american indian, tribal and bohemian aesthetic. his pieces were remarkable and so fun- i had wished for a moment the museum would transform into a vintage store treasure chest and i could pluck a few pieces for my closet. one can dream....

.night at the museum.

wednesday night is free admission and i'm always eager for inspiration from new exhibits. below are some shots from my visit. with the holidays fast approaching it's always a treat to take time out for things i truly enjoy and are thankful to experience, hope you enjoy!

.dylan's, 59th and 3rd.

.style board: taylor tomasi hill.

the newly-departed accessories director of marie claire, taylor tomasi hill has been a focal point for me on the street fashion catwalk for some time. given yes, she is an accessories director and has full access to large closets tucked away in magazine coves, shes got an large advantage over most street stylers, but its the way she puts her ensembles together that is totally rad. below are a few of my favorite looks.

.bite sized.

one great perk of being petite is the ability to maximize your favorite stores. one often overlooked section of stores by many women is the children's section. fortunately several of my favorite shops have begun to stock their kid sections with very similar (if not identical) styles that mirror the grown up's sections. and the biggest advantage, it's always less expensive! my favorite things i've had luck with: boy's button downs, blazers & peacoats and sweaters. below are my favorite recent looks in the bite-size section, clothing detail below.

enjoy and happy friday's eve!

.versace by hennes and mauritz.

the verdict is still on out if versace for h&m is something that i would/could wear. with that being said, i love the vibrant prints that the house makes and am inspired by the overall aesthetic. for me personally it's a little too loud-i tend to veer more to a neutral palette; but no doubt will be stopping into a store to appreciate all of the happy colors.

that is, if the collection is still in-stock on the off day i visit, apparently the debut day requires queues and wristbands.  no, and thank you.

.sf, ca: a weekend trip.

trip to san francisco two weekends ago. the boyfriend, good friends and i  stayed in tiburon a small bay town outside of the city, with sunday to explore the city. the trip was too short & i fell in love with the city. below are shots i took through the weekend-with an especially fun one of the famous bushman, about to surprise an unsuspecting tourist.

i must plan another trip for an extended amount of time. enjoy the pics!

.cocktails, fun & fashion.

at last! a chance to share my photos from my fantastic fno night...fingers-crossed something i will be able to attend annually going forward. i think the most fascinating part of this event is how it took over the entire city. soho to madison to meatpacking to greenwich village, and every small boutique in between had lights gleaming and cocktails circulating, a site to see with only three years under its belt.

my sisters (four minus one, sorely missed) all met up in the meatpacking district. one sister, a resident of horatio and washington, is a stone's throw away from the craziness which started early- each store offering something signature and unique. fake lashes at louboutin, graffiti artists at scoop,  a band & drinks and cupcakes at theory and rebecca taylor, the scene was endless with everyone buzzing and happy to be together. our stops were theory, all saints, rebecca taylor, levi's for country music and a final stop at catherine malandrino, which offered manis and drinks followed by a cab uptown. 

we ended the night in columbus circle at the mandarine oriental for a conde naste party-a perfect escape from the city's madness with my sisters and friends.

below are a few of my favorites pics i took throughout the night-hope you enjoy and can't wait for 2012's festivities!
