Thanks To My Fellow Fashion Nerds.




Ladies and Gentlereaders,

I just found out I've been admitted to my dream program for grad school. It is a Museum Studies MA program at F.I.T. that trains its candidates in fashion history, textile conservation, and exhibition design with the goal of setting them free into institutions like The Costume Institute At The Met. I'm beyond thrilled to have been accepted into this competitive program, and second to none I have to thank you all. I started my blog as a creative outlet for all of the fashion/culture/theory/art/pop stuff swirling between my ears. I thought this site would be an excellent way to spend more time on my creativity when I was stuck behind the desk of a pretty miserable 9-to-5. I knew I would be accountable for that goal because it was a public venue. What began as a readership of nine (all of whom I knew...very well) has blossomed into a supportive community of like-minded fashion nerds. I am so grateful to have a loyal audience, it feels amazing and your support as readers gave me the courage to put this blog front and center in my application. So, thank you. I promise that now that the knot of anxiety has left my gut, I'll be posting more and more and more. I love you. No, really--I do. Will you marry me? At least go steady?

Peace Please


In honor of Veteran's Day I was going to do some kitschy soldier style fashion post. I found all sorts of American Flag print clothes and Army/Navy Surplus looks. But at the risk of sounding too heavy for my lil' fashion blog, while drafting it I couldn't help but think that there is no light to be made of war. None. So instead I offer a simple sentiment of thanks to those who have served this country, and a profound expression of hope that we can tip the scales in the direction of peace sooner than later.

Don't worry...I'm going to hold on to all of the fashiony stuff for Fourth of July. It'll give you something to look forward to aside from fireworks and hotdogs.
