I'm incredibly flattered you're here.

NYFW
So many people Tweeting, Instagram-ing, Facebook-ing, Tumblr-ing, blogging, style.com-ing, New York Times-ing. Tweeting about finding cabs, taking the subway, missing shows, breaking shoes, breaking in shoes, running late to meetings, eating for the first time all day at 11 p.m., never seeing their families, getting makeup tips from backstage, squealing over new collections, swooning over runway music, throwing pre-runway show parties, throwing post-runway show parties, and planning outfits around the weather. Every year gets better. Every year gets crazier. Every year more people are applauded and awarded and acknowledged for their talent. It might be a vain industry to those who don’t understand it but to us (I use the term loosely) its occurrence involves everyone everywhere. The things you buy from Neiman’s, or Barney’s, or Urban Outfitters, or H&M, or Forever 21, or Target for god’s sake is because of fashion week.
And we haven’t even been to Paris yet.
I love that no matter how poor the rest of the world is, fashion week happens and is usually bigger than the previous. Fashion people have dope priorities.
I’M NOT OKAY WITH CHRIS BROWN PERFORMING AT THE GRAMMYS AND I’M NOT SURE WHY YOU ARE
Someone finally put into words what I have been thinking in my brain for 3 years but didn’t know how to express. One of the best articles I’ve ever read on HelloGiggles (including my Illustrated Tweet of the Day which, let’s face it, was my 15 minutes of fame).
“The message we sent to young women was unmistakable: You are powerless. You are worthless. You will be a victim, and that will be okay with us.”
It’s quite a bother for your best friend to move 500 miles away without your consent but that’s what she did and I had to deal with it. But it’s quite another for her and her new life to invite (and welcome) you into their new space as if it was your own.
This past weekend I spent obscene amounts of money, drank obscene amounts of coffee, ate too much food, spent way too long looking for parking, slept in and stayed up, had heart to hearts with my other half, and planned my future on a napkin. She shared the couch and she shared her bed and she shared her money and her favorite restaurants and her new friends and her new life with someone from her old one.
I could spend my time cursing her and wishing she had never left but then I have to remember that she is only 500 miles away. And her 500 miles away has much better food and much better people and it couldn’t be a bigger blessing that she’s there.
Most would end something like this with, “We may fight and argue…” but the truth is, we don’t. We disagree and sometimes don’t understand the other or wish they were a little more of one thing but I couldn’t ask for a better best friend if I tried.

“The point is that even though there will always be things that reach out for your ankles, trying to pull you out of the arms of what makes you who you are, there will always be people who are stronger than them and will hold you up.”
