Take Me to a Snowy Dreamland

OK, I'm officially ready to leave.
haha Got talking with my friend Sophie Ward about hot fudge sundays, and sledding and snowball fights, and i got so excited that i had to post some pictures i took last Fall in New York.
The first picture is outside the American Museum of Natural History, the second one is of my friend Camille of Childhood Flames, And the last one is of trees in Central Park.
I hope you're having a great day.

I would love to live
Like a rivers flows.
Carried by the surprise
Of its own unfolding.

. . . late in may, what seems like an eternity ago, received the most charming letter from new york-based blogger/photographer jamie beck, who had the most beautiful idea to collaborate on a fashion photo shoot; unfortunately, was not to be in new york for another three months . . . and so jamie had the wonderful thought for a shoot exclusively for {this is glamorous}, and what resulted was the utterly captivating romance of upswept hair and fluttery gowns, bare shoulders and opera gloves, and the always enchanting central park in the fleeting moments before nightfall, capturing the quiet spells of what could be a moment of repose before the night's festivities, {perhaps an elegant dinner party and dancing until the early morning light}, at the very instant when daydreams & fairytales have been known to float along in the dusky and magical evening air . . .

{p.s.} these images were shot on black & white film with an hasselblad, then hand processed and edited, the entire project taking four months to complete; this shoot also features the lovely styling work of anne of the city sage; more of jamie's wonderful work can be viewed on her blog, from me to you

. . . a wonderful wednesday afternoon and thoughts are drifting, drifting to far off places -- to romantic canals and glass museums, tiny boulangeries and grand archways, a sweet nostalgia for all the places we have been, and all of the places still in our dreams . . .

{p.s.} unbelievably, all of these beautiful photographs were taken by natasha, a lawyer from sydney, australia

. . . a few summer weekends ago, spent a few hot and hazy days in new york city, days filled with early morning swims, bellinis and brunches and sundrenched terraces, afternoon markets and dusky shops with herringbone floors, glasses of perfectly chilled champagne and red velvet cupcakes, sunset in the park and long, lingering moments soaking in the intoxicating energy all around, leaving with memories of dinner on the very last night among topiaries and carrera -- oysters to start, followed by seared sea scallops, rocchetta, medjool dates, lardoons with champagne vinaigrette . . . and it was farewell until next time . . .

The Memory Of Last Season....

Hey hey hey My Friends!
Well How was your weekend?
Mine was Really really long.... (not in a good way... ha)
For some reason this video took me way way way too long to edit.
but at last it's finally done!
I know it's a little late considering it's from Fall 2010 Fashion Week, and a new season is about to begin.
But anyways i really hope you like it.
My goal was to make it feel like memories of the trip,
and i have to say it does to me.
This was a pretty accurate view of my trip.
aw it was so much fun!
