Sylvie's Vintage Inspired Nursery


Is anyone else getting a Virgin Suicides' vibe from this nursery? Pure magic!

 Sylvie's wardrobe, including lots of vintage pieces, make me wish I was a baby again. Older brother, Abraham, has his own incredible wardrobe and I swear he is the best dressed little boy I have ever seen!

Baby Sylvie happily sleeping!

Here is a glimpse into the new world of Sylvia Ruby West, born just this past September. This dreamy nursery was artfully designed, crafted, and created by Sylvie's mommy Allison.  Allison is an artist, hairstylist, and owner of an extensive collection of vintage decor, furniture, and clothing. Going to her house is literally like stepping into the past, and I always love to wander around and check out her ever-growing collection of antique goodies and artwork created by herself and friends. 
What I love most about Sylvie's nursery is how personal it is. Everything in her room was carefully collected, salvaged, and handmade with love.  The walls are covered with artwork created by Mommy and family friends, her wardrobe is filled with vintage pieces collected by Grandma and Auntie, and Mommy and Daddy (a carpenter and musician) brought an old dresser and armoire back to life with playful fruit designs straight out of the 70's.
Baby and family are doing well, and I can't wait to watch Sylvie grow up with her equally adorable big brother Abraham!

P.S. If you need even pics to satisfy your newborn baby girl fix, stay tuned for pics from my friend Rachel's baby shower for her new baby Violet, born last week!

A Dance Party

shameless self-photo pose time! headband-diy, blazer-Forever 21, top-Marni, skirt-thrifted for like $2


 Jimmy, looking like a buff Parisian school boy, and clearly over it all.

I will be the first to admit that I may be the worst dancer in the world, but when I get the urge I just gotta let myself go and dance, dance, dance!!!! I was delighted to find out that everyone's favorite mincine? was having a dance party fundraiser, and the night was a blast with balloons, streamers, delicious vegan hors d'oeuvres, 80's music (the good stuff, not that Poison and Go-Go's shit) and plenty of dance floor to let me release my inner dancing beast.  The night was also an opportunity to wear my Marni bra top, that I got for a steal at every designer hungry, cash-strapped shopper's best friend, The Outnet. I do love this little number, but it is such a bitch to get on and off. I literally have to get in an upward divers pose, and then my husband, Jimmy, has to slide me in and out of it. Needless to say, if I don't have a buddy who I don't mind seeing me topless, the Marni is a no-go. But, hey it's worth the pain and effort for the sake of fashion, right?

Alexander Wang I Can Fit In My Pocket





Baby Ray-Bans, baby custom-made snake-skin Alexander Wang, baby Chanel, and baby Nikes. Is this  little bitch not the luckiest toddler in the world??!!!! Yes, I just called a 4 year old a bitch, but only because I am so jealous of how adorable she is and she was a Fashion Week, while I was not. Oh and btw, she's Alexander Wang's niece, Aila. Thanks, Christy!

The Dream Of The 90's Is Alive At 3.1 Phillip Lim






pics from wwd and google

Plaid, floral, oversized, layered, cropped, leopard, patchwork, leather, and mixed prints galore were all essential elements in this collection by Phillip Lim, which played like a love song to my childhood decade of the 90's.  The 90's look is nothing new, after being seen in the past few seasons, but this collection shows that the look is still going strong and I for one am pleased.

Ja'May's Got It Goin On


Despite all the damage, destruction and irritation Hurricane Isaac caused, it did have a few perks. One being, I got to see my New Orleans friends!!!  My favorite little evacuee, Ja'May, dazzled me so with her wardrobe choice for a coffee outing that I just had to share. Big O sunglasses +curly top + fucking bad ass Grace Jones tee = perfection. There's your math lesson for the day. Learning aside, I am glad that all the N.O. crew is back home and safe. Miss you and hope to see you soon!

P.S. I must give Jen Wasson a little credit for having the best t-shirt taste on the planet!
