the atmospheric effects of fireworks at night

Nocturne in Black and Gold, James Abott McNeill Whistler

Stumbled upon this whilst flipping through my art history textbook. 

(I don't think I've ever enjoyed a textbook quite so much)

I like it, don't you?

Hello kids, I'm back already.

I came and went and here I sit on my bed in little old Utah feeling awfully full of missingness for New York already. I felt so revived and in control and refreshed this weekend and I'm already getting panicky that all those good intentions have been sucked away in my mere two hour exposure to high school today.

I have an awful lot to do in order to make the grade by end of term this Friday, but I can't say I wish I'd spent the weekend here getting things done because that obviously wouldn't have happened anyway.

and New York is impossible to miss (out on)

You can expect posts this week about my adventures (I did a mucho bueno job at taking reasonable amounts of pictures and writing notes and journal entries this time, of which I am proud.)

Pack it up, Rosie.

Let's be honest. Packing for New York is probably the hardest thing ever to pack for.
Correction: packing for New York when your purpose there is to attend fashion seminars, with lots of teens, and lots of fashionable people, is probably the hardest thing ever to pack for.
In essence, I'm trying to sum up my entire being and style in three outfits.

I tried to get all inspired, but that quickly resulted in my being convinced that the one thing I need for this trip is a sequined skirt, which of course is the one thing I do not own.

No matter. Here are my inspiration files and I hope to share with you how it all turned out, next week, apres trip...

it is a place apart.

I think I forgot to mention....

I'm going back!

Where you ask?

New York City, obviously.

When?

Thursday!

Holy cow?

I know right!

This year's Fashion U lineup for me includes...

Michael Kors, Betsey Johnson, Proenza Schouler, Jason Wu, and Alexander Wang.

I am going to try to be a much much better blogger and recorder of adventures this time, don't you worry. I'm going with my dad-o so I hope/suspect we'll be seeing more museums than H&M's this time 'round.

I shall keep you posted!

vide-yo.

I had three videos for you, but then everyone was blogging the third one so I decided two was quite enough. If you really are dying to know, this was the third one. Enjoy...
