soho swag

I got a few different shippments last week and decided to try some of the pieces out. Even though I missed their opening event, Furla had this gorgeous backpack sent over. The little pieces on the front snap on and off and are interchangeable. I love the size and the fit of the bag.

If you're looking for a simple summer bomber and nude maxi, look no further than NA-KD. They've got cute simple pieces that fit easily together for a fun summer in the city look. I love throwing this bomber over jean shorts and a vintage tee to run and grab coffee in the morning. 

I'm also wearing this adorable bracelet from totwoo, which is actually "smart" jewelry. (You can download their ap!) 

I'm always playing around, and trying to create really easy-to-wear street looks, I'll try to photograph more of them for here. I've got a bunch of cool editorials coming your way, can't wait to show you what I've created. 

love you all

eat shit and die

Happy weekend babes! Feels good to have a summer weather in the city. I've been busy exploring and getting used to my new Soho neighborhood. I also must admit, everyone is so well dressed around here, it's inspiring me to wake up every morning and put together a great outfit. No matter how simple or complex, I find it easy to make an outfit when I've got one strong piece.  I always love throwing a really cool jacket over black leather pants and a simple tee. This jacket by HLZBLZ is pretty dope. I remember seeing their brand all over myspace when the internet still lived there.I'm also pretty into this Phoenix Risen choker by Club Exx. It's huge, but it works if you work it, bitch.

getting down

I'm getting used to it here. The bedroom skylight burning through morning skin. There is no better place for my lover and I, drenched in the summer sun. In the darkest point of night, and without you by my side, I am a victim of my own mind. 

But sometimes, a certain way of looking at the world doesn't work for us anymore. So we settle for happiness. As much as our old self wants to reject every positive vibration, we move forward because we know nothing else works. 

Looking at the world through a mental filter of fear only breeds more, so we choose to be an instrument of blessing. The mind is so powerful, it creates form on every level, and I see that now. Patti Smith said, "In time, we often become one with those we once failed to understand."  I hope this is true, because I was never really able to see you. 

I apologize for this, perhaps the place in which I dwelled before had not been filled with enough light.

lonely hunter

If you send for me, you know I'll come. I haven't seen you in a month, but I'm not focused on that. We were best friends, crazy and shameless in love. You can make paintings, I can make you playlists. It was your art that gave me the confidence to acknowledge serious feelings inside myself that I would of otherwise ignored. To know someone who spends their day doing exactly as they please. To be so ignorant of the odds, I'd like to think I'm a little like you. 

And now I'm surrounded by so many similar people, I don't know what I do to attract such magic. I don't like to be alone so much anymore. I have seen too much goodness in others, I have seen the allure that is the outside world. To know that the world can actually work for you, and then that becomes your life story. The course gently altering to align with your higher state, how do I grow more awake with each passing night.

Patricia Field Art|Fashion X I Hate Blonde

"I like cheekbones," she said. "You know, a boy with a little Bowie going on." Lower East Side signs of life. They're not sure if you're a boy or a girl. Sipping iced coffees out on the fire escape, Roxy Music on repeat. She's spinning, writing quotes and lyrics in her notebook with pencil. He's play his guitar in the morning window light, unfinished songs about life in New York. 

The unexpected encounter that slowly altered the course of their lives, to meet another artist like yourself. To each create a world of your own inside the microcosm of Manhattan, and then merge the two. No one lives in New York the way we do.

your heart feels

Your heart feels in between all the spaces that mine does not. Cause nobody does it like you. A lot of life below me, but I'm going to create my world up here. And I want to make my world with you, but I feel myself incapable of such bold implementations. 

"We are to listen to our brother first and foremost, if we are suppose to speak, he'll let us know." So I say nothing. I have no words for all the emotions in between the light spaces, I just hope to turn them into something worth having someday.

I am restless here now, forgot that it's important for man to move, and not just work his mind. I am lying, using again. And it's eating me whole, keeping me awake between the hours of three and five. Paranoid and roaming in the dark. 

In the afternoon of my life, I have forgotten all the books I've read. Cigarettes and amphetamines. Tell you "everything's alright", I can do that for you.

nudes

Here's a full nude look I shot in Soho last week by my new apartment. I bought this romper off Nasty Gal as kind of a simple, spring throw-on look. It's super comfortable and comes with a cute neck scarf that I just adore. 

These shoes were sent to me by public desire last week as well, and I can't wait to style them a few more ways. I'm thinking maybe with white denim? How would you wear them? 

I also included my favorite going-out bag, my vintage DVF purse from the 90s. I found it in the East Village over a year ago at a Buffalo Exchange. 

Today, I'm shooting with a really cool new photographer that I'm so excited to work with, and hopefully getting some work on my new book done. I'll tell you more about that later. Sending love and inspiration to everyone who needs it, I'm always here.

i am trying to break your heart

Listening to Wilco in the empty spaces, I am nothing and everything is now. Lately I've been feeling so full, then so empty. Thinking I'm a blank canvas ready for anything, then realizing I have so much to say. I switch between the two, perhaps both are required to live. 

I want to wear everything, and I want to wear nothing. I want a home filled with books, I want the books to be in my mind. Young and selfish, waking up to serve my own purposes, fulfill my own ideas. When what's inside you consumes you, it's the story you paint over everything and everyone else. 

But still, I want to hold you, cause you're part of my story and everything is always now. I am trying to break your heart.

Got this dope hoodie gifted to me last week while visiting Patricia Field, who i'll be shooting with in LES this afternoon. The Hoodie is by Stud Muffin, and incredible brand based in NYC. I've worn his designs once before while shooting for NYLON. 

I also can't stop using this incredible white stud backpack by Traci Lynn. I've brought it out with me everyday and took it as my carry-on on my last trip. My laptop even fits inside! 

I've got to get ready now and head downtown for today's Patricia Field shoot. Make sure to follow along on my snapchat for behind the scenes views of all the clothing and madness!
