LILAC DREAMS // on board in an old shipyard

ONE OF THESE SUMMERS

I'M GOING AROUND THE WORLD

IN AN OLD SHIP.

UNTIL THEN,

THE LILAC IS A 1933 U.S. COASTGUARD

STEAM SHIP THAT SERVICED LIGHTHOUSES

UNTIL THE 1950s.

NAUTICAL LIFE + FASHION

WHILE I WAS TOURING THE LILAC, FURTHER NORTH, OPENING

CEREMONY WAS HAVING

A SHOW AT PIER 57 FOR NEW YORK FASHION WEEK.

"FASHION IS IN THE SKY

IN THE STREET

FASHION IS IDEAS,

THE WAY WE LIVE,

WHAT IS HAPPENING."

THE CIRCUS // nyc

AMUSEMENT PARK
(OR CITY CIRCUS)
CENTRAL PARK 7 SEPT. 2013 CE
MUSIC: EDITH PIAF "LES HIBOUX"

EMILIO PUCCI // starved for windows

I WALKED DOWN GREENE ST. TODAY, 

WOOSTER ST., PRINCE ST., SPRING ST., AND MERCER ST.

I WAS CURIOUS TO SEE IF ANYONE 

(LIKE SAINT LAURENT PARIS, APC, CÉLINE, CHLOÉ)

HAD DONE THEIR WINDOWS FOR FASHION WEEK.

BEHIND THE SCENES: RETAIL WORKERS WERE RE-ARRANGING DISPLAYS 

IN-STORE, DECIDING WHICH BAG SHOULD GO WHERE.

EVERYONE WAS AT LINCOLN CENTER FOR THE SHOWS,

IT WAS LIKE THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM.

BUT THE WINDOWS WERE EMPTY.

MAYBE IT'S A NEW YORK THING

(OR LAZY?)

BUT I LOVE A GOOD DISPLAY WINDOW.

MAYBE IN NEW YORK IT'S MORE OF A

"I KNOW I'M GOING TO BUY THIS

BECAUSE I SPENT 1 HOUR GETTING HERE

AND OH GOD I NEED COFFEE"

MENTALITY.

I DON'T LIKE IT.  I LONG FOR WINDOWS LIKE THIS ONE,

EMILIO PUCCI (FLORENCE)

I TOOK THIS DURING PITTI UOMO/PITTI IMMAGINE 2013.

IN EUROPE, THERE IS AN ART TO THE DISPLAY WINDOW.

IN NEW YORK...?  I DON'T KNOW.  

BUT I'M NEW TO THE CITY.  

... SHOULD I BE LOOKING ELSEWHERE?

AT PISTILS NURSERY // air plants

 

INSPIRATION AT PISTILS NURSERY

PORTLAND, OREGON

 

COUNTRY LIVING IN THE CITY

VISIT THEIR WEBSITE HERE.

 

FALL THINGS // september is here

I CAN'T WAIT TO BURN THESE

WHEN THE WEATHER TURNS

AND I FEEL LIKE CURLING UP

BY A CAMPFIRE

TO HEAR STORIES

OF ADVENTURES

(AND MAYBE BEARS).

DON'T YOU LOVE IT WHEN YOU CAN SMELL

THAT CAMPFIRE IN YOUR CLOTHES FOR

DAYS?

 

WESTBOUND // nyc --> pdx

YESTERDAY I WENT FROM NEW YORK CITY:

TO PORTLAND, OREGON:

(PADDLE BOARDERS ROWING WITH THEIR DOGS)

 

FOR GOOD WINE, FOOD, & COMPANY

#HOMETOWN

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

 

sunday 25 august // AFTER THE STORM

AFTER A BUSY WEEK

AND EVEN BUSIER WEEKEND

I FINALLY TAKE TIME TO

 HAVE COFFEE

AND PREPARE FOR THE WEEK AHEAD.

I DON'T DO MUCH LOOKING BACK.

ON FRIDAY I PICKED UP THE SANDRO
