I cannot begin to articulate the type of vibes at the Jay Godfrey Fall 2014 show at the Hudson Hotel. Despite the cold weather, attendees dressed to the nines went to lay eyes on the edgy yet refined clothing of Godfrey. With smokey eyes and long black mani's to match, the models showcased garments in a room filled with intense  rock music and sequins. From this show, it is evident that black leather is always in and will be for decades. 

Like The Devil Wears Prada, Without the Devil.

Like any other artistically inclined, fashionable young adult, I devour the pages of Nylon Magazine. Coming to school in New York City, I was well aware that the headquarters for this fabulous lifestyle mag were nestled on a tiny cobble stone street in Soho. After coming across an opening for an internship with this glorious company, I had to pounce. Little did I know that I would be writing this post today as a new Nylon TV Intern! I know, my mouth fell to the ground similar to the way yours just did! (Especially when the words New York Fashion Week and the Closet were mentioned during my interview!) Now that I have landed this dream internship, I know my life will change, even if ever so slightly. Due to this exciting and incredible time in my life, I decided to document all of the out-of-this-world stuff I will get to do so I can share it with someone, or maybe many someones, that will appreciate the experience I am about to embark on. Keep your fingers crossed for me please, and check back in often so maybe you can learn from my experience and also do this one day too. Let the neon and cheetah print begin!

Youtube Music Awards 2013

Here is a link to an article written about my experience as an extra at the 2013 YMVA! A few highlights included seeing Arcade Fire and M.I.A live. As well as meeting one of my favorite directors Spike Jonze.

Coney Island

Saturday felt like a hazy, washed up dream from summers past. I went to Coney Island with a couple of my close friends to see the faded store signs and smell the hot dogs. The sun light was perfect and very different from that of my hometown in California. Here in New York, light tends to be more blue while on the west coast, natural light tends to be warmer, more yellow.
There was something very special about that day. The beach we sat on before walking through the crowded amusement park was almost a cathartic experience. It was a new sight and a unique breath of air.
