real life





Outfit Details:
hat - Goorin Bros
jacket - c/o Coach (old)
Rebecca Minkoff Dress - Confederacy (it was on sale at the shop; I can't find it online)
Rebecca Minkoff Swing shoulder bag with rosegold hardware - Confederacy
tights - H+M
glasses - Ray-Ban
lipstick - MAC Russian Red

The other day, I had the pleasure of shooting some Arrojo hair tutorial videos for Joyus, along with my hair stylist, Tim Dueñas. There's nothing better than working with great people - it makes it feel a lot less like work and more like hanging out. Only, you have to say it a few times for the video camera, and try not to knock your glasses off while you're demonstrating how to style your bangs. Speaking of Tim, if you are in need of a great cut and live in/around NYC, book your appointment with Tim Dueñas at Arrojo and tell them to make a note that I sent you. He's giving 50% off to first time customers (in the month of February) if you mention that you found him through my blog. What a guy!

Afterward, I caught up with a couple of friends at lunch, then came back to hang out with Kim and Bobby. We went to Prospect Park, took some pictures and then I changed out of this dress because it was not very forgiving of the food baby I had from my mentioned lunch, nor was it long enough for the Spanx I own. From the afternoon on, it was an oversized sweater day. And that's real life, people.
