post-jamaica tales.

so pictures are up, presents have been given and my suitcase (obviously) remains packed. maybe I'm tricking myself that I'll go on vacation sooner than expected. which is silly because I go to LA in february, only a matter of weeks. anyway, jamaica was wonderful and beautiful and so much fun. I look like a 6 year old with my hair braided which is no problem simply because I thoroughly enjoy looking like a 6 year old. no lie.

lots going on this week, considering I just got home yesterday night. I was supposed to help interview for macaulay, but...I was tired and couldn't access the google spreadsheat, therefore I canceled. spent today lounging, phone interview tomorrow then work, then try-out day with a fashion company in soho...yeesh.

speaking of fashion, I didn't post my favorites for spring/summer rtw 2011. obviously (really, obviously) there was bcbg max azria coming in at number one with their lovely color palette, and interesting shapes, flowy & billowing fabrics and minimalistic loveliness. vena cava was also (surprisingly) beautiful and much more tame than usual. their neutrals were a little darker than bcbg's but that's only normal of vena cava, which goes for an edgier, bolder look. and I found this designer I hadn't really looked at before, rachel comey who was WONDERFUL. like when I say fantastic I really mean fantastic. great shapes, great fabrics, great patterns, great colors, great line. such a good updated 50's look to everything she did I couldn't NOT love it more.

and then my vena cava favorites:












okay and then last but certainly not least, rachel comey:












remember: crop tops are huge and long skirts are in -- short on top, long on bottom!
