An example of that is this:

I THINK I AM GOING TO MOVE TO CALIFORNIA

My LA based friends, Jeremy + Claire Weiss live the modern day Norman Rockwell life.

I very well could pack my collection of black boots and Louboutin's to be near all of this...



THIS IS JUST A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JEREMY AND CLAIRE WEISS (pre-baby Eli)

How I Envy Thee!


I could jump freely into a big mass of dirty water....(this photo is available for sale: www.day19.com/store)


Or I could jump into a nice big clean clear blue mass of water.... (this photo isnt for sale, but you could ask www.day19.com)



I could finally have a dog. His name would be Muji.



My friend claire's backside- pregnant and almost barefoot. slaving over food.

(I really hate nature, but I like the idea of all of this)

The Portland Dream

I love to do comparison shopping, afterall its my job. A few friends have been looking to buy in Brooklyn and I've taken it upon myself to scope out the real esate scene. And what i found is not cute. Or atleast not cute for my budget.

My Dwell subscription smacks me in the face each and every time I look at it. On the same note, Karen from Omnivore referred to Dwell as "evil" meaning that she too feels my pain. But Karen just moved from NYC to Portland so her opinion doesnt count anymore. She is obviously a very smart person is working "remotely" from Portland now.

Folks, I might have to pack my umbrella, sell my shoes and move to Portland, Oregon.

This $499k refubished Rummer home in a suburb of Portland, Oregon.

Doesnt this look damn good!?

Looks damn good to me!

Holla!

Who wants to move to Portland with me?

So to further the dream, Ive decided to take a trip to Portland and I will happily stay at the Jupiter Hotel for a whopping $59

Chronicles of WORKING: the before and after

It will only be a memory of how the mice pellets would naturally collect like dust on our desks...But then, a certain somebody w/ O.C.D. tendencies moved in and it changed our world. This is no longer a "youth hostel," it is now merely an atelier in which a modest lensmen, and a typography nerd (and his biotch) will GET SHIT DONE!



"it's called Work-ing!" (thank you turnstyle2)









Black is serious about having our floors painted. He even bought a vacuum today. He asked me to buy a mop and then shit literally hit the fan. He was mopping so hard... It reminded me of that one scene from There's Something About Mary where the crazy tan grandma starts vacuuming her floor like mad..lifting furniture with one hand.
If you dont know what scene I am referring to, you can do yourself the pleasure:

I love Men(swear)!

Recently i have been dabbling in men's fashion, which i really love because its a nice departure from the fickleness of women's wear. Only a couple of weeks ago my friend/style editor, Josh Peskowitz asked me to help him with trend reports at Men.Style.com. It was after my stint that another friend asked me if I could suggest some suit options for his wedding and lo and behold i have a professional opinion on that topic...

Below are some of my favorite suits and accessories:


band of outsiders fall 2008 collection


patrik ervell fall 2008 collection


There is something about a man who wears a pair of Dries Van Noten's - He is a smart man, a true appreciator of fine design. Now that fine design can criss cross Manhattan without a trip to the Cobbler the next morning. Behold the red rubber sole wingtip.


Dries Van Noten glasses that I want for myself, but would like to see on just about any man who is a friend of mine.
