Baby's First...Everything?



Holy Hiatus, Blogosphere!

I've been just a wee bit out of touch, huh? I just don't know how you all managed to live without my insightful, incisive words of wisdom and witticism. How empty and dark these past months must have been for you. Here, here's a blankie and a hot cup of cocoa. It'll all be ok.

Seriously, though - it's been a while since I've written, and if nothing else, I've missed it. Not to say that I haven't had plenty to do. In the time since I last posted, I quit my job at the hospital, left my family and friends in Massachusetts, became obsessed with Pinterest, started an internship at Daily Candy, 'moved' to New York, bounced around from couch to couch of patient and borderline sainted friends, and am now in the process of battling absurd brokerage fees, homelessness (my own, of course - Giuliani did a good job cleaning this place up in the 90's), and the overwhelming feeling that I don't know what the hell I'm doing. Not that I'm complaining, of course. It's all very exciting!

...but it's also extremely stressful.

But, as with all things, there is always a silver lining. Amidst all this insanity in my personal life, I've managed to finagle a few things that makes my inner 5-year-old's eyes sparkle with wonder.

Baby's First Fashion Week.

Ok, so it's Baby's First Fashion Week by Default (an editor couldn't/didn't want to go and so bequeathed her invite unto myself and another intern) to a Show That Most People Have Never Heard Of - but a show is a show is a show in NYFW and I'm psyched out of my mind. The designer apparently has a fairly successful line (available at Barney's - oooh). Her last collections have consisted of mostly cozy knits and a Cool-Girl aesthetic, and, ok am I the worst person in the world if I want all of her fur pieces from the F/W 2011 line? I am? Oh, sorry, PETA....
but this season apparently "combines the tactile feeling of mid century craft design with motifs from cement sculptures by contemporary NY artist Mary Judge to create modern and compelling pieces." On top of all that excitement, I also get to attend parties for Fashion's Night Out! So, we'll have to see how tomorrow goes! I get to Tweet things! Tweet...is that the correct verbage? Oh yeah...I'm on the Twitter now. Ten bucks says Betty White knows more about that stuff than I do.

Here goes...something!
