CORNER OF MY EYE
As Dan and I get more adventurous together in our little outings, so are the places that we choose to shoot in. When I look at these pictures versus the ones that we take outside in full light, I almost want to say I like the ‘inside’ ones more. When you seek light in a dark and poorly lit space, you get imaginative. And the results are sometimes way prettier/trippier/grittier than something you’d ever get during the day.
I hope everyone is liking the new blog. It’s pretty much a souped up version of my old blog, which was getting a little dysfunctional and messy. I’ve been spending half my week working at home and the others at my friend Mike’s place who is the computer whiz who helped slap the new Haute Pursuit together. Working without the supervision of a manager or other coworkers is definitely interesting. I’ll admit that during the first week…I felt a little lost. A little too space cadety (ie browsing perezhilton and other gossip rags) when I should have been building my blog/store etc. Now, with renewed drive and ambition, I’m waking up every day at 7:30am and going straight to work, which happens to be exactly 2 steps from my bed. Nothing comes easy people and nothing ever gets handed to you. No matter how talented/pretty/qualified you are, you gotta work for it!
On a much lighter note: it’s kinda strange that this is only the second time I’ve photographed this Alexander Wang sweater. I got it last year pre-order and practically lived in it. Shit like this, I cannot buy anymore because it is mucho, mucho expensive. I love knits and the details on this thing are killer. The grooved back and all the netted holes are hand-sewn. Just incredible. I will forever be in awe of this sweater.
P.S. my friend Aimee from Song of Style told me how much she liked me smiling, so I told her I would try to smile in every post and dedicate it to her. So Aimee, if you’re reading this, those pearly whites are for you honey!

Killer heels! They are so beautiful – and I agree with the lighting-thing; the third and fifth picture are definitely playing with the light! xoxo

I really like your honesty about not being able to afford Alexander Wang anymore because of your new career adventure. This will be such an interesting experience to read about.

I have to admit, I like it when you smile too!
I think people should smile more in their “fashion” shots. The website (and you!) are looking beautiful as always. ♥

I am loving Alexander Wang everything right now! There are these pair of khaki trousers with a black zipped band and exaggerated buttons that I have to own. The inseam shifts a bit too, it’s a nice touch. The site looks great and this sweater is sick.

I know this is going to sound weird. But for some reason your blog is no longer compatible with Google Chrome. I just thought I should let you know.

I love the new blog, it suite you. The sweater looks like it would be so comfortable and warm even though it has holes in it. But that’s completely intentional. I think if worked from home I would probably have the same problem too. When your home all you want to do is relax and not really do anything, but sometimes that isn’t allowed and can’t happen.
by Christina
On January 28, 2010 at 1:16 pm
My darling dearest, Aimee is quite right. Your smile suits you. It’s lively, real and I love it. I totally love that you took your photos in a grocer. The colors really add to the pictures. I tried taking my photos in my local Peets coffee, and uh, let’s just say i wasn’t allowed to do that anymore lol. But there’s still hope. Lmao.
PS. Love the more organized and clean blog. Truly makes roaming around much easier.

Love your blog! I just discovered it on my daughter’s laptop (she follows you), and I must say, I’m VERY impressed! You (and Mike & Dan) have done a great job — your site even appeals to old farts like me!
Good luck!
