bonjour my friends! 

i hope everyone experiencing this snow-crazed winter with an optimistic attitude--i know it gets tough sometimes. i feel as if everyday is a snow day. i've found myself getting bored and in need of some new activities. all this baking is getting me fat. (though i'd rather be fat and bake than skinny and not eat). i'm back in nh, boston is rather problematic this season. i look forward to the day where grass can be seen again and i can wear shoes without the threat of ruining them due to heavy slush. it's hard to dress cute in such harsh weather! 

here's another week in photos

aint he a cutie? god i love this little man. oh! i forgot to mention, i recently got a gig as a nanny. i am quite content, i love kids and i feel nannying will be perfect for me.

stay warm everyone!

strangeness and charm

good morning loves! 

i will be returning to boston in less than a week and as much as i miss the city, i am sad to leave the peacefulness of country living. i am trying to do my best in appreciating the little things about this gorgeous place. 

what i wore: hand knit beanie, vintage leather, madewell sweater, american apparel skinnies, & my metallic dr martens. 

a view from outside my window

this morning i woke up to the lovely sounds of gatsby-era ragtime music. it was perfect.

i also thought id share my latest painting, dedicated to one of my most beloved fashion icons, edie sedgwick.

one reason i love fashion is because it is like wearable art, and above all other things, i love art.

a winter wonderland

how lovely is this season? besides the constant chill of an old colonial house in nh during decemeber, i do love this time of year. i spent today with an old friend. we enjoyed the snow and literally spent the entirety of today drinking coffee and reading magazine for inspiration for the upcoming season. my spring wish-list is currently under construction 

(kate spade, i'm coming for you). 

as you may be able to tell, the upper east corner of the us is facing quite a snowy season.

what i wore:

vintage sweater

madewell black skinnies

vintage belt

dolce vita booties

aint she a cutie? i do love this girl and her flawless sense of style.

what olivia wore:

madewell scarf

burberry coat

american eagle skinnies

nordstrom booties

my current reading list:

everyone needs to go pick up alexa chung's new book. it is amazing.

i hope everyone is having a stress-free holiday season! i can't wait to do spend tomorrow in the kitchen baking up a storm.

keep on waking

three cheers for enjoyable eventful weeks! i met will ferrell, saw an early screening of anchorman 2, and won second place in a styling competition. (and had time to do a top knot shot...it was a good bun day).

my line had an art deco theme. i put my models in very gatsby-esque vintage garments. we had a lovely time. you can't see my whole outfit, i regret not taking a picture to share--the day was so busy it was the last thing on my mind. but my top is 1940s vintage from switzerland. it came with a matching skirt and it is absolutely divine.
