I’m dreaming of cuddling in this giant Muubaa leather and wool woven knit once the chill hits NYC. For now, it’s folded at the top of my closet, peeking out at me every morning, waiting to be thrown on. It’s so big that it really does swallow me whole, but that’s what I love about it. A fireplace, some candles, and good tunes will all just add to the coziness in my apartment this coming fall. Paired with leather pants and a black beanie to shield me from the storm, it may just become one of those “live in every single day” looks I fall in love with.

I stumbled upon this elevated pool just a few block’s from my sister’s house and though it was locked off, it still reminded me of an underwater adventure. Blue paint chipping off the walls, portraits of butterflies, and the words “LOVE” flashing everywhere I turn. The deserted pool is just one more reminder that summer’s slowly coming to a close and yep, it’s turning me a bit blue. It’s going to be hard changing out of the destroyed denim cut-off’s I’ve been living in for the past few months. Thankfully, the latest Stylestalker collection is helping me happily transition into fall! Their netted white blouse is just one piece keeping me excited for chillier days. But I don’t dare think of taking off my layers of bracelets…filled with summer memories from here and there.

 My work weeks in NYC have really been non-stop this entire summer, and so I’m so looking forward to this long weekend. I’m ready to finally sleep in like a normal person! I’ve been busy prepping and shooting for DKNY Fragrances, shooting lookbooks, and basically trying to balance everything else I have in my life. I think I’ve taken it all pretty…I mean, I still feel pretty sane. Work’s been in studio a lot of the week, but I much prefer the madness on location…on LES rooftops, in some secret, secret gardens, and all around lower Manhattan. It’s the little things on set that makes the week: a killer crew, random encounters with lucky ladybugs, and late nights out in the village. I’m happy to be away for a few days, at my sister’s with all my favorite Philly girls. Currently crashed in Dylana’s bed after a girl’s movie night. So, so needed!
