RIP Alexander


I know, I'm a bit behind everyone else's tributes here, but once I saw this painting by Danny Roberts, I just wanted to reiterate that we have truly lost a creative genius. The fashion world is forever changed and will dearly miss you, Alexander McQueen.

I'm currently still in New York for fashion week and will have more updates hopefully today. In the meantime, feel free to follow my Twitter.

Also, Happy Valentine's Day everyone and I hope you're all holding on to the ones you love.

weardrobe, yes please




OK, so here's the explanatory post that I've been alluding to for days now:

Deep breath...

It is with great pleasure that I announce to you fine folks, I have joined the Weardrobe team as their new community manager!! So that means, most site-related questions (i.e. contests, features, profiles) can be sent to me and, rest assured, I'll try my best to help you out. Or if I can't, I'll find the appropriate person to bug about it.

This means, of course, I left Reno (packed about 11 garbage bags full of shoes and clothes and miraculously fit it all into the Civic) and have been spending the past week or so officially living in Palo Alto, getting a crash course on the company, how it's run and how you guys use and interact with the site. It's been beyond inspiring so far, especially working alongside some very dedicated and creative people who make things happen! Yes!!

Specifically, I'm focusing on creative and community relations and was hoping I could pick your guys' brains for a little bit in regards to Weardrobe. Have you visited it before? Perhaps you're a member? What do you all enjoy about it? Any thoughts or comments you'd like to share?

Please send Weardrobe-related e-mails to krystal@weardrobe.com. I'd love to hear what you guys think.

On a side note, today's photos are courtesy of Suz of Weardrobe. And yes, I'm running away from her in the last photo (just kidding, Suz, just kidding). She's awesome. And just about as odd as me. Maybe even more so. It's a toss up most days.

with love





Lately, I've been rocking this ring, reveling in the fact that I could land a mean, left hook on someone, but do it with love.

Ha.

Thank God for this weekend. So many things to tie up. Too bad 48 hours isn't enough to do it.

On a side note, what to wear to fashion week...seriously, the stakes are high here and I'm suffering from a serious case of looking at my closet and feeling UNINSPIRED.

Anyone have inspiration they can spare? I'll gladly trade you in kind words and maybe even some light-hearted e-mail banter. Let's talk!

NYFW anyone?



Well I just finalized some plans to make it out for part of fashion week coming up. And I can't express how much it doesn't feel real! I'll be in town from the 13th through the 17th, so all you ladies and gents in town that week, let's make something happen.

Other plans: to kick this damn cold I have and maybe catch up on sleep. Maybe. OK. Probably won't catch up on sleep. But one can hope for miracles, right? More impossible things have been known to happen.

Alright, fro yo time. G'night folks.

leather and lace and forever 21 withdrawals




Yes. I am quite addicted to Forever 21. It's official. Somehow I can't leave that damn store without picking up the makings of an entire outfit. I'm convinced they sprinkle some kind of crack throughout the store, making your body physically crave it.

I'm shaking my fist at you Forever 21. (Angry fist shake ensuing now.)

Jewelry: Yep, you guessed it, more stuff from Forever 21
