I heard over the summer anthropologie was going to start carrying fair trade jewelry line the bluma project. I totally fell in love with the bluma project’s really colorful and urban design over the summer so I decided to pop in and see if anthropologie was still carrying any goodies from this ethical brand. AND THEY WERE!!! I scored this gorgeous neon beaded necklace :D. (blazer-h&m; tee and shorts- thrifted via goodwill; shoes thrifted via buffalo exchange) I LOVE IT!… View Post

Um, I got a little obsessed with flipping through Natsumi Hayashi’s website. This gorgeous girl is making herself levitate through images. In an interview with MY MODERN MET when asked why she took on this series Hayashi says, “We are all surrounded by social stress as we are bound by the forces of earth’s gravity…So, I hope that people feel something like an instant release from their stressful days by seeing my levitation photos.” (source) How sweet is that?

What I Wore-Corporate to Casual

/ / 19 Comments
When I started interviewing for new jobs I had a little bit of a dilemma. My current job was soooooo casual that to walk in with something remotely looking business kind of makes things look obvious.  And while my employer knew I was looking for other work I really didn’t want to look out of place. So this is how I took my interview outfit and made it casual. First off my interview outfit.   I always choose a dress… View Post

The charm of New York NEVER ends I tell you! The 6th bi-annual Jazz Age Lawn Party was held a few weeks ago on Governors Island and I was happy to attend with some lovely peeps.
