catching up on several months worth of press...so, so behind. but like i say all the damn time these days/months/years, better late than never. :P
seen above: interviews in my LOOKS column in BUST magazine: starring, in order of publication, mai le of fashionist, debra rapoport (of advanced style fame), and elsie flannigan of red velvet art. brilliant gals, all.

i frickin' LOVE doing this column, people. i mean, look, i get to pick a gorgeous, smart woman and then chat her up for a bit up about matters of style, life, and what she's wearing (in the photo in question). it's fun! it's mind-blowingly interesting (to me anyway!). and when it hits the stands, she gets to shine, lookin' fabulous on the pages of a nationally (internationally?) distributed mag. it makes her feel good, and i feel good about that. and hopefully people like reading about them and getting into their stylish heads. win-win-WIN!(?)

while i was checking out at manhattan's kinokuniya bookstore this past weekend, i stumbled across a little display of bags from (brooklyn's) maptote. lookin' at 'em, it's so clear that they vibe with that whole current design trend that's all about cities and maps and showing some city love/pride, no?
lately i've been aching to be back in NYC! i felt moved to show a little love to my favorite locale, so i snagged a NY maptote for myself! it's officially my favorite new bag: it's this perfect middling shade of denim, and the ink is poppy pencil yellow. cavernous enough to carry the essentials and maybe a little more. yay yayness!
