New Zealand Livin'

So I finally managed to put together an ensemble of pictures from my trip to New Zealand this August. Needless to say it was an extremely scenic experience full of beautiful views and dramatic landscapes. I managed to get to see the majority of the North Island from Wellington to New Plymouth, Taupo, Mount Maunganui, Hawkes Bay and Aukland. The winter weather wasn't too cruel and we were lucky to have 15ºc sunny days. It wasn't quite warm enough for surfing, unfortunately, but maybe next time I'll get to enjoy the summer weather which we were robbed of in Canada (angry tone). The trip was full of lots of scenic drives with me in the dj seat making sure the soundtrack was as good as the views around us and Reece in the drivers seat going way too fast and scaring the life out of me. Hopefully someday I can make it back to this beautiful place. For now, all I can manage to do is focus on my darn homework and keep myself from swan-diving out of my window.

More soon, this time I promise.

kisses to anyone who still reads this shit. (ha! hillary)

A little clockwork.

This post has been a bit over-do. Well the move down to Florida went pretty smoothly. At first the thought of driving to Florida from Boston was crazy; but I think Danny and I had a good time =] We did it in two days and still made it home for dinner. Not long after we were there did my sister Cyndle come for a visit! It was a great week before we moved into the new loft in Tampa. We got to show Cyn the tree house and there were even some manatees to feed! Now that we're all settled into our new place I think some pictures will be up here soon. Ya'll will have to come and visit! Im missing my New York ladies. And of course...Fashion Week. (Danielle I expect some good pictures soon =] )

The Look Book: Cyndle Strawhecker

The Makeup Artist Who Hems Her Cutoffs

Makeup artist Cyndle Strawhecker calls her look "little-boy chic." The day our Video Look Book caught her, she wore a vintage boy's blazer, pants she had cut to make shorts (but not hairy cutoffs — she properly hemmed them), and a shirt she got on sale at Urban Outfitters for $9. And to top it all off: a Balenciaga bag! Get a closer look at her outfit in the Video Look Book.

Dance, sister, dance.

There's nothing quite like dancing with your sister. Nevermind having a sister who can dance circles around you.

Going to miss this one. See you in New York in the fall!

big big big kisses.

Back to the simple life.

Sorry I have been HORRIBLE at posting. I bet you all have given up on me - I would have too.

In my defense, this is the first time I have been at the internet cafe for longer than a few minutes so I seized the opportunity to make a quick post.

These snaps were taken at the beginning of the summer - hence the pail faces and a hint of a ripe liver. My birthday was eventful to say the least, as the power was out for TWO DAYS! Nonetheless, despite my not-having-showered-in-I-won't-tell-you-how-many-days, we amused ourselves with board games (bored games) and group naps and a salon party when the power came back on. Luckily I had an abundance of candles at my house to provide light for a pretty great get together in the darkness. I think I'll make it a tradition.

More soon. I have to make the most of the beach before I take off for New Zealand!

kisses, D.

Eeeeeeeeek! See you this weeeeeeekend!

Thank you for linking me this. Here's a favourite.

 "I'm going to get drunk on champagne by myself"
"Oh no wait, my cat's here. Thank god, for a second there I sounded really sad."

Madness.

Yesterday I designed this font for our client pitch next week. I would explain my artistic decisions but this is indeed a highly confidential project. 

HA! 

If only I was that important. It was just something to do to preserve my sanity in the middle of the day when I was bored out of my mind at work. Anyone who knows illustrator at all knows that I nearly ripped my eyes out doing it but it was certainly better than starring at the wall or going on Quizilla all day. Surprisingly, it was still recognised in the meeting so maybe I have a career ahead of me as an intern.

kisses from the office.

This is for Mariel inspired by her last post.

Aren't balloons great?

Camden town.

The past few days, I have made several trips up to the Camden market and have been finding some cool things. My friend Patricia was in town visiting and it was si bien de la voir! Tonight we went back to the area for the Black Lips concert which was a really good time. This morning I went into the studio with Mama for a photo shoot so those pictures should be up soon!

I'm getting the VB itch. Are you?

Good night and goodnight.

Remember Mariel's (and Hillary's) first trip to Brooklyn? How scared she was? Now she can't get enough - "obvi". Stole these photos from Sophia's handy cell phone pictures and smiled while remembering a good night 

Speaking of good nights, I think it's about time for me to wish you one... wherever you might be, (LA in China, Mariel in Vermont, Hillary in Bali and Sophia in BK to name a few)!

kisses, D

Sitting at JFK International Airport waiting for my plane to arrive! Im heading back to Florida this weekend for a Graduation extravaganza! Happy Graduation Austin!! Its going to be pretty nice to get away yet again to one of my favorite places ever!
