Ms. Warner Corner,

What a swell shopping time at the Williamsburg Beacon's that was. Until my blood sugar dropped and I realized I was literally walking in a circle staring at a book filled with pictures of objects that looked like Jesus. Stalactite Jesus. Coffee ground Jesus. Jelly bean Jesus. Lamb burger with cucumber dill yogurt on a brioche bun Jesus. 

Good thing I always carry a sampling of fruits and nuts in my nap sack. Nap snack. 

Back to business.

Ashley is a photo genius (ashleymacknica.com) and she managed to make my sleepy cold self look like I was vacationing on a rooftop in Belize:

(Remember how pretty the top of my building looked until you would glance behind you and see dog poo strewn around? I feel like a den mom living in this building sometimes, telling the campers to put their toys away. And by toys I mean cigarette butt filled beer cans and feces. Kids.)

I really love how my outfit turned out. Simple statement pieces that are all interesting on their own but as an outfit look clean and put together. I'm wearing a lace body suit by Jill Stuart underneath the flowy top. Like a Fly Girl going on a date to Peter Luger's. Boowwwchiccawowow. 

Oh how I miss working at the Park Slope Beacon's. Besides working next to my closest friendlies, I have found so many gems to the max. Evidence:

I realized pants are hard to photograph. They just look like crumpled up children's leggings. 

In other news, I have our costumes for next Halloween ready in my mind:

Fly Girl Pirates. J Lo is so sassy!

See you at Christine's, I'm bringing another pie. Sweet potato graham cracker crust marshmallow meringue. Fatty fatty winter Yazzy is baaaacccckkkkk.

p.s. Awwww. 

dearest,

it was only a week ago that we got all dolled up in some new beacon's gear and went up to your sunny, sunny roof, where ashley was nice enough to take some very serious photos of us.

so, this is me, featuring a beacon's closet shopping spree for the beacon's closet blog, all dressed up and no where to go :







i have to say, when i picked out these pieces, i was kinda imagining what if i was in a band and i was a singer and i had a show, what on earth would i wear...?

it's kinda corny, i know, but that's my favorite perk of working and shopping at beacon's closet-- indulging the eccentric in me. i have lots of nice and quality pieces from beacon's closet that i wear all the time and they are both very practical and certainly cool, but my most prized pieces are the true one-of-a-kinds and no matter how hard i try, i keep finding my (very large) closet stocked with the bold and the beautiful.

my closet:




its number #1 treasures:








































and this is just a small sampling. can you think of anything i forgot? i didn't even include any of my backpack or high-waisted pant collection.

sigh.

i will never be one of those new yorkers who wears all black. unless it's with my pair of electric blue doctor martin's.

and, in case you were wondering, these are two photos from my other most recent photo shoots. they seemed, somehow, important to post today:





see you tonight for dinner at christine's !

ooo,
