danielle levitt's book launch tomorrow

my old boss danielle has a book coming out with powerhouse and we'll be celebrating the launch tomorrow. rsvp and come early-these things are generally swamped.

bff friday: chanel pod mission

we missed our 2:30 reservation for the chanel mobile art installation nation by about 3 hours..luckily we never run out of things to discuss, as we waited in the (freezing cold) stand by line for over an hour. if you haven't been already, i highly recommend you go. the experience is certainly one of the more unique art experiences that either of us have ever had. mercedez's favorite was the first piece in the show, an innovative light structure/chandelier; while my favorite was the puddle reflection projection. +we both enjoyed ms. yoko ono's wish tree. we wrapped up our day date with a dinnertime tete a tete at roebling..bestE's best days, leaving me feeling very glad for all of my favorite things-bestest's+chanel+art+beet salads..fuck yea.

in through the out door

three succinct shots fired

it's complicated..

i was really trying not to buy stuff but these were too good to pass up. + shockingly, i don't have any brown winter shoes, other than my 4.5 inch chloe platform booties from 2 years ago (fyi:rationalization is a mega strong suit of mine)..so i had a full out bidding war (with some jerk) for these fine lace ups...i think they're kind of a great mix of 70's hippydip with a slight touch of the (too goth for me) ann demeulemeester's ...kind of a convenient juxtaposition of my kinda shoe..

the one good thing about the onset of cold weather

is the opportunity to finally wear my cozy new winter coat by ideeën, bought over a month ago. this is the last big purchase i will be making for a bit..as, the economic downturn is really freaking me out and is thus resulting in some self imposed shopping regulation..(i'm trying to stick to ebay+thrift+h&m--though i have to say it's really hard.) i have realized that there are so many lovely stores to pop into on every goddamn street in this city and even more online..ugh.
(i guess i'm lucky that at least this coat features a wild winter hood that can be used as window shopping blinders.)

hoping for.....

besosyfotos is one year old today.

thank you to all my blog buddies+regular buddies+unknown internet supporters for looking at my virtual sketchbook. specifically, i must thank my lady turner for coming to uta barth's gallery opening a week ago last year. she, the sound of worldwide takeover, twisted my arm into launching this site + she was right to. i used to think that blogging was ridiculous but at this point can't imagine not being part of the online sharing revolution.. lastly, i want to extend my deepest gratitude to all of my friends (+ folks) for allowing me to share their faces + shoes with anyone whose random google searches lands them here.
besosyfotos por vida.
