wore this dress to shows on saturday, then snapped these photos upon my return to the w hotel ~ my fashion week home-away-from-home for the second season now. more on that coming soon!!
in the end, hurricane irene passed rather uneventfully through new york ~ for which i am quite grateful (so many other cities were less lucky). also feeling pretty giddy about: this so-gorgeous silk clutch, scoring 3 great pairs of shoes at the barneys sale (these boots included!), and the fact that today is my birthday!! and my blog's almost-anniversary ~ you see, three years ago today, at my 25th birthday celebration, my friends dubbed me 'the glamourai' (they all got party names too), and the basis for this whole blog project accidentally began. who'd have thought we'd all be here today?! what a ride.
{ self-made flower crown, kelly framel earrings (coming very soon!), vintage gown via shrimpton couture, tiffany + vintage bracelets }
this week marks both the summer solstice (which officially kicks off the season) and also the celebration of midsummer ~ a largely northern european tradition that, while not as common a custom in the states, still makes for a wonderful excuse to party! CLICK HERE to learn more about midsummer and enter to win some pretty ridiculous prizes (including pamela love jewelry, bobbi brown makeup, and a 3.1 philip lim bag!!).
