That's what I call clockwork baby.

 Yoshitomo Nara's clock is pure anime genius. With each passing hour and minute, 84 unique drawings are displayed. Good luck trying to cop one though, the little gadget is pretty much sold out everywhere!

Allow me to introduce... My Friend!

This is Gina. I love her and one day we are going to have the most
 a-m-a-z-i-n-g store ever.
The End.

Paper or Plastic

I prefer paper when it comes to trackin my agenda. I might be the last person on earth without an iphone or berry, but I will survive... with my trusty Moleskin.

Fancy Fringe?

I am obsessed with this bag by Susan Farber.
 Literally, I can't even deal??

Sock it to me

ASOS's over-the-knee socks are remarkably Prada-esque; just slouch them a tad and walk it outtt. 

Recession Reality

With trust funds trashed, retirement stashes busted, flats foreclosed, Ranges being repo'd, & housewives swapping clothes instead of recipes; WE ARE ALL SUFFERING. Although, my blog does NOT reflect our economic crisis, simply because I'm sick of fcking hearing about it, and I'm sure you are too.

Sick Shades.

A stupid boy stole by beloved Dior Homme black tie shades from Space Mercer (RIP) and I have never stopped thinking about them to this day. Oh well, boys may come and go, but these frames are back to stay. Only now I think I like them better in white..

Need a Bra, Ma?


Kinda kool, Kiki-

Zapped by Zoe

Last year my fabulous friend Layla and I met while working together at Barneys. Since then, we have both relocated, although still keep in touch on the regular. White visiting her last month in Princeton, NJ she took me to her current place of employment, ZOE. With lines ranging from- The Row, Rag & Bone, APC, Isabella Marant, to Lanvin and Proenza.... not much else needs to be said... I mean would you expect anything less from the buyer/owner having her degree from FIT?

Jump Street

With the jumpsuit creeping along the runway the past few seasons, it's now officially here with a vengeance. With almost every designer having his or her own twist on the retro silhouette, (varying from pattern/print/fabric to halter/slvless/tank etc.); I basically really just want to slip on this Derek Lam number, while simultaneously strapping my feet into these...

Wrap me up, Rick-

Tonight, I'm totally rockin this Rick Owens washed leather bomber...



***in my dreams***

100 strokes-a-day


Might have worked for Marcia Brady's mane, but not mine- After chopping my hair two years ago, I have been struggling to regain my luscious locks. At last, I have located the essential hair growth formula. If you're in the same boat as I was, I highly recommend trying Phytocyane Revitalizing Serum. Although, the product description is for "thinning hair," it without a doubt helps speed along the agonizing process.

Spin me right round baby...

Is anybody is the market for a new whip? Well, I was... until I located the best of both worlds...a hybrid bicycle priced at $10,000. Ok, so now all I have to do is... trade in my car, consign my shoe/bag collection,  & then maybe negotiate a monthly payment plan??? 

Vase Vice

Often while trying my best to stay focused at Museums, my undiagnosed ADD somehow always gets the best of me and I find myself astray in the gift shop, shocking no? Consequently, my favorite gift shop is at the MOMA. I never fail to find the most compelling trinkets there, such as these modern white outline vases- FYI, I love orchids...

Lunge Much?

I'll be the first to admit, while working on my fitness, trust assure you won't find me in these Lululemon Athletica pants. Although, I am so intrigued by them, not only because they LOOK GOOD and most styles are reversible; word on the street is they make your booty look svelte too! Maybe one day if I start perspiring bills instead of sweat, I'll be able to give them a run for their money.

Tee Time

Given that my standard attire is black jeans, flats or heels, a splurge-worthy tote, and a comfy T-shirt, I have become quite the expert on locating the ultimate tees. My top choices are the karen burn-out crew by Nation Ltd, LNA's deep scoop, and American Apparel's tri-blend short sleeve deep v-neck. The $$$ may be a bit steep, but the fabric and cuts are fully on-point.

Cuff me, If you Love me


DANNIJO jewelry founded in 2008 by sisters Danielle & Jodie Snyder, consists of multiple collections varied by aesthetics, although my top fav is Classic Rock... hence a rock & roll edge with vintage flair, combined with sick craftsmanship.... Soooo anybody wanna buy me

Haute Tights

After being introduced to Wolford tights my first year at FIT, it was a match made in heaven... but maybe not as much for my wallet... with the Velvet De Luxe styles always being a safe bet, I'm totally coveting the Shade Tights... they definitely remind me of the Chanel Fall '08 two-toned tights... minus the trademark interlocking C's...

Flashing Brights


With my wardrobe consisting primarily of black, gray, & white... I think these mesh tanks by Shelly Steffe would add the prefect pop of color and make an ideal layering piece atop any old tank. Originally $145, On Sale $85- 

Lust-worthy Lashes


Having been a huge fan of the award winning Shu Uemura eyelash curler for years, I have never been able to find the perfect mascara to complement the lash lifting effects of the device... That is, until last weekend while rummaging through my Mother's endless make-up vanity...something caught my eye, and I'm so glad it did! Maybelline Lash Stylist, it is truly unlike any other lash formula I have worked with. As most mascara is applied with a brush applicator, this is put on with a comb, and the lashes are lengthened and separated perfectly, not to mention it's actually affordable, priced at a mere $5.99- GET ON IT!

Shore Shack

Since I was basically a fetus, I have been heading to the Jerzey Shore for my summer vaca, (stop right there, I already know what you're thinking..) But, Long Beach Island is so not what you would expect considering the seedy rep of the surrounding beaches- At the southern most tip (where the Atlantic meets the Bay) is my favorite town, Holgate. Last Fall my girlfriends and I took a road trip from the city and fell head over heels in lovvvve with this beachfront property. How can you not appreciate the rustic ware & tear, clean lines, modern architecture, not to mention amazing views?? I'm not sure if this gem is still on the market... but isn't everything for sale for a certain price???

Pants Optional, but not Required

From Anna Wintour and her infamous shades, Karl Lagerfeld and his glove(s), Nicole Richie and her draped scarves, Olsen Twins and their gargantuan totes, Sam Roson and her fresh kicks, to Victoria Beckham and her killer heels, it's always refreshing when someone steps out donning their own signature trademark...while everyone else is onboard with the overridden trend brigade. My props right now go out to 22 year old, NY born/raised, Lady Gaga... although I am not a fan of her music (sorrrry!)....her, "who needs pants approach" is rather vivacious and oh so daringgg... go on with ya bad self Ms. Gaga. 

Lady In Red

With the Oscar 2009 show history, now comes my favorite award.... best dressed! I know, I know... pretty cheesy, but oh well- Celebs swaggered amongst a sea of tulle, fishtail, chiffon, trains, and strapless gowns (exposing major boob overflow).... with that said, my vote goes to Heidi Klum. I think she looked smokin' in her red RM by Roland Mouret dress. Although, I do think the jewels where a bit over-the-top???

Say goodbye quick dry...

I think this may just be one of the best creations in the beauty industry- Chip-free, dry-free, long-lasting, and omg, eco friendly solid nail film... MINX I'm completely overwhelmed with the possibilities this presents... Dependent on location (multiple nation-wide) various styles, patterns, prints, and custom options are available... *I'm toadz envisioning the zebra white and black animal print on my lil paws???*

TTYL Winter GIRTH

Need a little motivation to start droppin' the excess lbs that snuck up over the holidays and haven't shed just yet??? Well, I know I do, and here she is... my eyes are set on this barely there 2-piece (bandeau style, sans tan lines) from my fav young, and super talented swim wear designer Parson's grad Brette Sandler. Her suits offer clean lines,crisp color-ways, and slightly retro prints with rare signs of embellishment... and here we go... 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and get them sit ups right andddd.....

Pink, but only on my Lips-


Basically anyone that knows me, is aware that regardless of my garb, hair color, complexion, mood, season...ok, (you get the point).... I'm rarely spotted without my signature pink lips. In 2007, I finally found the perfect must-have hue that Gucci Westman had created for the Proenza Schouler show... I legit put my name on a waiting list at the Lancome store and anxiously awaited three months to purchase 5 tubes.... Unfortunately, the color sold out immediately and was obvi a limited one time only addition... With great sadness my last Proenza Pink cartridge of bliss terminated this winter... after seeking high & low, at last I was able to find a creamy, "similar" shade, by YSL under the Rouge Volupte line called Lingerie Pink #07....

-Although it will never replace my beloved Proenza (R.I.P.), I guess it will have to be a close enough match!

After admiring Rosaries since I was a Young'n...


Carlen Altman is my savior... she has created a hand-made line of Jewish Rosaries based straight outta Brooklyn!! Amazing. Now, the only problem is trying to decide which style I need to rock???

My ultimate comfort slash splurge candles...


I feel the sense of scent is so amazing and I find myself often associating great memories with the aroma of the following candles... which also happen to be my top favs, hmm...
wonder why??? In no particular order; Comme des Garcons Harissa and Sequoia, Malin & Goetz Mojito, and Diptyque Baies... 

A little splash of color...


Never hurts, especially when it comes to these super cute gladiator style, tie flats... So stoked Opening Ceremony finalllly has an online boutique-

If I where a rich girl...


Although, I clearly am not... I can still dream... with that said, I must admit I have been cursed with a penchant for designer pieces... I'm sooo in lust with A. Wang's Fall '09 Collection... black, white, and oh sooo hot...
