anthro top 5: july catalog

the new anthro catalog was waiting in my mailbox on saturday and although i'd already snagged one at work there's nothing better than getting YOUR copy!

so here is my top 5 from the july catalog!

1.
i love this whole outfit... blushing ruffle skirt, sketchwork tee, + sweeping sleeve cardi i'm getting into a skirts and tees phase! and i love the asymmetry of the skirt (can't wait to get it in!)

2. brigitta dresser

i want i need.... only $800 bones, no problem, lol!

3. BOOTIES!!
i wasn't much into booties last fall but this year i am! (especially with all the cute one's my friend katie wears to work...) of these my favorites are the framework booties, ruched booties, gathered booties, and not pictured here are my other faves the frilled heels (i'm not sure i would buy those b/c they aren't totally my style but i love them anyway!)

4. windfall dress

5. and my FAVORITE....
the inverness trench. i saw this first because i flipped thorugh the catalog at work from the back and i totally started gushing over it. it's the cutest trench and i hope it fits me as cute as it fits her!

if you don't get the catalog but want to browse you can here: shop the catalog

anyone have any favorites i missed? the anthro catalogs are always so inspiring!!

love.

hello girl.

been a long time.
sorry about that.

i'm still around. doing my thing.
focusing a lot on work +
trying to get back the energy and drive to do more on my own again.

good things happening at 16a. joe's new job is amazing and he's really happy (which is a major relief for me! i like seeing him inspired!!)...


his company is 321launch. check them out, they are a animation/compositing studio and that makes test commercials. their spots are great and most of the time look like they could go straight to broadcast... and they are only for test audiences! joe just finished some coke spots that i wish i could show you but not yet.

things at anthro soho are good. gearing up for our fall concepts which is always an exciting. i love changes of scenery. i am always eager to see what our art department comes up with for the new displays. i just got the july catalog so i'll follow up later with my top 5 again (sorry it's been so long!!)

it finally feels like summer here... june had crazy rain. not cool. but this past weekend was sunny and warm and so far this week has been too. we've started hearing the firecrackers in the evening which is exciting. i love 4th of july! ooo, now i want to make cupcakes with my leftover stars + stripes cups, lol. still easily distracted, lol. this year we'll be able to see nyc's and jc's fireworks from liberty state park... maybe i'll take a little video to share.

basides all the normal catch up stuff i have...


new hair! it was done at arrojo studio and i'm for sure loving + rocking out the blonde.

i could go on forever but instead here are the 10 best things about this spring/summer so far...

1. finally being able to spend more time out with these ladies...


2. hot-lantic city with my parents and joey...


3. photog + sushi city dates with my steady...





4. spending lots and lots of time with this bitch...

5. the dudley weekend.


although it was super sad to say goodbuy it was awesome meeting this lovely girl...


6. baking... cookies, cupcakes, brownies


7.

8. new phone!!
yeah kinda lame that my new phone is in the top ten but i'm totally addicted to my new pet... it has a camera and takes awesome video, great quality, and i can finally be online whenever i want to be (hence the increased volume of tweets!)

9. reconnecting with this face...

love you bry!

10. pride 2009.


it was a great pride... watch the march with dawn + kristi (who marched for the first time!!) and then followed up with a rooftop ph party at the dream hotel in midtown...







our group for sure wanted to celebrate the life of mj, we maybe got a little too into thriller... or at least i did...


anthro july top 5 coming tonight!!
love.

now i'm talking about...

the kids macking on my corner (do they still call it macking?)
computer in a new place.
starting on a new project that just might change everything.
wanting a new anthro outfit to go with those crazy cheap and amazing pair of boots i saw and didn't buy while joe tried on westerns fulfilling a no country for old men badass fantasy.
maybe they are still there.

missing friends.
summer plans.
new goals.

last time we spoke.

no more poladroids.

thank you kc for pointing out the obvious that i totally missed.
hehe. i'll admit it, i was a geek for that program but i've now given it up cold turkey.
for a bit at least.

busy week or so. keep meaning to take photos of some new art but haven't gotten around to it yet. i will. i have an exciting new project out in bklyn that i haven't really shared yet so i thought i'd get on it. my boy drew just got into this phat loft that i'm now working to clean up and re-decorate. it's going to be a process but it's such an amazing space. once it's for real fixed up we are going to be hosting many many events so keep a lookout and if you are in nyc we'd love to have you.

i can't even stress how freakin' amazing this space is so you'll have to see for yourself: loft photos: skizum studios

i'm also revisiting my band fantasy. started forcing joey to learn songs for me. we'll see what happens there. i really have yet to share on my blog (or really even with many friends) that i am an ex-vocalist. i miss the music and find myself putting together dream cover sets and jotting down random lyrics that will probably forever be locked away in my journal. but i'm in nyc and if i was ever to try to make good on my voice lessons and music school it should be now right?

so i think that's all the sharing i'm up for today. things with work are heating up again (yay for a new quarter) so i'm not quite around as much as i was but i'm making good on my one blog post per week minimum. and once i start shopping for the loft i'll have a ton of cool projects to rant about.

peace. love. and cocoa puffs.

in bklyn we go hard.

have a great sunday.
we are heading out to spend some bklyn design time with some of my favorite peoples.

little sistv love.

got some layout of the week love at sistv for drew's nyc layout.

and...

i'm on the catwalk too with my good week layout. (thanks ashley wren!!)

just wanted to share.
will do a real blog post tomorrow.
off to do laundry and get into some craftiness tonight.

f train.

inspired by kc's layered pages that i totally dig
also inspired by a very late train ride home with drew + joe + one for the road.
increasingly inspired by brooklyn, art, and possibility.

you can see the layers here.
