Still sifting through photos from MSP Fashion Week & waiting on some from a photographer - fair warning: my belated fashion week post will be picture-heavy.

I love me a good Canadian tuxedo & apparently so does everyone else. This outfit was also featured on Vita.MN, but Jak & Jil style with my head cropped off. You can see all the stylish peeps Ellen Dahl photographed throughout the week here. Massive mspfw post tomorrow, promise.

Quick outfit post on what I wore to Emma Berg's 2013 Preview last night - which was utterly spectacular (can't wait to see the entire collection, come March 7th). It's currently viral (you can check it out here) on Vita.MN and will be in print next Thursday.

My new favorite sweater comes with some serious fuzzy goodness & warmth. This purchase alongside some others, is the result of drunken lunch shopping dates with the Mill City Man. And if you're wondering about the beautiful space where I shoot my photos (or rather make people shoot photos of me), it's Drive Thru Editorial, my second home away from home. 

MSP FW.

Minneapolis-St. Paul Fashion Week is upon us. I'm scrambling to get a week full of lust-worthy outfits together w/o going out & purchasing something. #godspeed. I'll be covering a bunch of shows throughout the week, so be on the lookout for MSPFW posts. xx.

Love to me is: hand-crafted Valentine cards, an impromptu lunch (shopping) date with my favorite Mill City Man, celebrating birthdays (Happy bday Arrow!), touring the North Loop as if it were my first time - with good company + a drink in hand at all times, making new friends (and dance partners) and doing it all in the most perfect Valentine's Day attire.

Happy Valentine's Day, y'all! xx

Fragile Things.

It hadn't occurred to me until just now that I never bothered to document what I wore for NYE - so here it is. I didn't partake in the stereotypical sequins & opted for something a little more...um, leggy. A Moschino belt goes a long way. And since we're on the topic of the New Year, I didn't come up with any resolutions except that I decided this would be the year of bravery. xo

"It occurs to me that the peculiarity of most things we think of as fragile is how tough they truly are. Hearts may break, but hearts are the toughest of muscles, able to pump for a lifetime, seventy times a minute, and scarcely falter along the way. Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things, can prove remarkable difficult to kill." -Neil Gaiman

Free People Presents Roshambo.

FP sent me their first ever short film that was too cute not to share, just in time for Valentine's Day. xx

For good.
