bathed in golden light & warmer days

new york winter is my least favorite season. though this year has been uncharacteristically warmer than past ones, i still resent the piss-poor lighting and having to bundle up so my outfit never shows. (oh the concerns of a fashion blogger). 

this outfit is from early fall and i think my favorite thing abut these photographs is the lighting. it just *looks* warm and inviting. remember, those days will come again, so hang in there.

i really like the whole 'chicly disheveled' look. not that i'd rip my stockings for every occasion but there are times when looking overly polished just gets boring. besides, fashion should be fun and getting a little rogue with your style is always a good time in my opinion. 

and a big congratulations to cassie for winning the lilian crowe mace necklace giveaway!

happy 2012!

how have the first few days of 2012 been going for all you guys? i'm damn excited for this year. so many new plans to execute and new challenges to face. and with 1 month left in my contract blogging for sunglass hut, i'll be back to vogue gone rogue full-time in less than a month!! 

in the mean time, here's a scatterbag of photos from new year's eve in williamsburg with friends. some are blurry and some are instagram shots, but i think they capture the spirit of the evening pretty well.

making faces at the camera = favorite past time

a good shot of the helmut lang sweater i've been obsessed with and wear entirely too often.

i love spending time in williamsburg. the bars are fun and relaxed, nothing too hoity-toity and overrated. how did you guys ring in the new year?

getting away from the city every now and then reinvigorates my love of photo shoots. wide open spaces and the ability to take your time on each shot makes me happy in a way all you techy nerdy bloggy girls i'm sure can appreciate. plus, vesper gets to run all around and get puffy tailed from excitement. always cute.

i'm normally not all about tight skirts but made an exception for this one from bcbg. i love the 'eroded' look and bronze-ish, silver-ish shade of the metallic effect. paired with a too large sweater helped make it much more my style. i definitely adhere to the rule of not putting all your 'goods' on display at any one time.

have a fun new year's eve everybody!
