ONE MORE DAY!!!

Here's a picture from our trip to tide you over.... cause I know I've been neglecting you the past few weeks. I'm sorry! But tomorrow is the big day.... I am so nervous and excited about it!! So even if you guys think it's way lame I need you pretend you think it's awesome k? Mmmk good! Love ya!

"You've simply got to get me a new machine!"

May first!! It's ALMOST HERE!!!

I just wanted to let you guys know, I haven't forgotten about you!! May first, it's almost here... that HUGE AWESOME SURPRISE!! Okay, maybe I'm making too big a deal out of this and when you find out what it is you'll be so super mad at me. BUT, it is going to be awesome. So promise to stop by May first, that's when I'll be starting it... oh aren't you just curious!!

home is wherever i'm with you

in about twenty-four hours i will be back home, in Orange County, visiting my beloved family & friends, and for my big sister SOPHIA'S ENGAGEMENT PARTAYYY. i've kind of been waiting for this day since the day i realized i was going to be living in nyc, after landing my job at 3.1 phillip lim...and then soon after landing my internship at nylon.

a lot can happen in two months apparently. i settled into a cozy nest that my three boyfriends/roommates built on the UWS; found my home-away-from-home-away-from home in SoHo -- the 3.1 phillip lim store and the nylon offices so happen to be one block away from each other. how convenient right?

i snapped a few pictures of each of my spots, so i can show you around to my new zip code. i'm definitely in love with the city and my new life here, but honestly...

home (orange county) is where the heart really is.

i'll be documenting my OC vacay and will be posting photos of all the FOOD & FESTIVITIES right here on THC as soon as I get back to new york. Til then, I'm going to try oh so hard to not touch my computer/iphone/any means of internet access whilst I am away. It is a VACATION. but most likely I'll break because not being up-to-date with the news (all your blogs) gives me major anxiety. We'll see how this all goes. Until then...xoxo ANNA

 

 

 

The Wedding March - 1950 - From This Day Forward

I keep looking at these brides and think of my Mom, who was married in the early fifties. These were some high standards to meet, but I think those brides were really good at meeting standards...they were expected to be picture perfect, they were to furnish their homes with the sterling silver they received, the Groom was to be tall and well off, it was a good idea to have a couple of good looking friends or sisters to be bridesmaids, and the wedding should be held in a suitably impressive location. And you weren't suppose to need valium for a couple of years!

BALENCIAGA BIKER BOOTS

i want these.
for a profound $1295 (that's without the studs) you can cop these beautifully badass boots.
the cutouts make for good ventilation for spring, and an excuse to stock up on some colorful socks!

The Wedding March - 1950 - Bridal Drama

I am looking at these trains...they are amazing. But I wonder why they stayed in fashion for weddings long after they were worn "everyday"? I am guessing it was to distinguish these dresses from any others...this was not going to show up at the grocery store. But there are several fashion historians out there, some of whom might even read this blog. So what are some of the reasons wedding dresses look they way they do?
