Gold in my weird neighborhood

This morning when I was walking home to my apartment in the deep part of the lower east side (if you consider it the les still/chinatown/projects area), I decided to take Henry street, which I never do, but because I don't think after years of living a block south of it that I have ever walked on Henry. And when I turned the corner I came across a storefront with no sign and the window full of beautiful cactus plants, and I peeked in and saw an array of gorgeous leather shoes and bags. After some digging, I found out it is called ABK and the owner, Alya Kazakevich hand makes all of the leather goods. I am going to try to go back today with Luke. It is odd and really exciting coming across anything like this south of Canal street. A little treasure on my end of the neighborhood

ANAISE/the cutest new e-shop

Today was the launch of a very beautiful new e-shop called ANAISE. In July my boyfriend and I are moving in together and I am crazy about these cups and pretty tablecloths. Luke and I were actually talking about tablecloths just yesterday (we were!) and these are the top of my wishlist. The selection of dresses and everything else is so wonderfully curated. I don't have much to say besides you should check it out and spread the word!

My wishlist at the moment:

Akiko Graham custard cup $14, with the aforementioned linen tablecloth $60

crazy cute Loup voile cotton undies $36

Fog Linen butter knife $7 and A Détacher dress $649

most perfect onepiece from Mociun and a small leather shoulder bag by Tannis Hegan

Ohhh my feelings are confirmed

I have never posted so much in a day, and while forgetting that, duh, it is London fashion week right now, I was excited to see the J.W. Anderson show posted on style.com already! Love love love. I am nuts about the chunkyness of those brogues with the hairy bits and the wooly pieces and how wearable everything is while still maintaining that something that keeps it special.

♥JWANDERSON♥

My introduction to J.W. Anderson was actually last fall when I met a super cute girl wearing the cuuutest navy pleated skirt and tee-shirt with a heart made of fat lilac embroidered flowers, but I didn't realize at the time, and I never asked her who the designer was. I just remember loving those pieces, and then about a month ago I saw that same teeshirt on ASOS and my affection was reactivated. I'm crazy about his new lookbook (which features Hannah Noble, one of the most lovely and funny models I have actually had the pleasure of working with) and the clothes look so cool. I wish I knew more stores in the states that carried him, because at the moment I only know asos.com...

Still getting my bearings from Fashion Week, today was my first real relaxing day, I've barely looked at any shows to any real depth, but I can say that the show I worked on went amazingly well, and I am really happy. It's funny, that its so easy to pay attention to the first few of the week (I end up y'know, really looking hard at all the looks for Christian Siriano), and once it gets into full force it can be quite overwhelming....

DAY1 / Rachel Comey

Favorite looks from Rachel Comey's show yesterday. I am a super inexperienced show-goer so I was really excited to be there. The dress in the middle/bottom row totally stole my heart, it just hung on her shoulders and the pleats bloused open in the back when she walked...kind of wishing this was for the summer collection. I was really into the hair too, all piled up on the top and straight down in the back.
