I did it, I made my first adult designer million dollar clothing purchase. Of course, I documented such experience considering I am quite proud of myself. I think I may have a christmas dress for Minnesota! Its so lovely :


My roomate works at a store at Spring & Greenwich called Aloha Rag and yesterday they started a 40% off everything (except gold) sale. My roomate had a suggestion for me already as soon as I walked through the door and it was this dress.

I'm incredibly in love with it.

Knit news :

"woo"-man socks 60% finished
(working foot on 2nd sock)

scarfy cardy 50% finished
(2 more inches of body, add sleeves & scarf)

I don't want to work today.

p-s : (the mirror in the first picture is one of my favorite things in my room. it was a design by my best friends cousin, he used some sort of chemical to burn that image into the glass. its so beautiful.)

Just thought I'd share something a friend of mine (who is making her first movie for school) shared with me. There was a 40 year retrospective on Yves St. Laurent in Montreal that is now being packed up and shipped over to San Francisco. Only making 2 stops (which i think is ridiculous because - NYC... NEGLECTED?!) It will be opening in San Francisco on November 1st. I highly suggest going.

I have here, the first ever wedding dress designed by YSL :



Knit! My friend thinks this is a statement on how marriage is an imprisonment for women... Its possible, but then again - the imagination can be a wonderful thing. haha.

She almost got kicked out for taking these pictures but, good thing she is charming. She talked her way out of getting kicked out.

Another sample of things YSL designs : A tribute to Van Gogh :



Here is a Q & A that might be interesting...

In other news, my man socks are finished, I will have to get photos - I am working on a hat pattern that will be listed somewhere sometime soon - Sock yarn at the yarn tree on Bedford Ave is on sale and I'll be going back to get some more today.

2nd time fresh direct order arrives tomorrow. Hopefully this time the potatoes wont go bad.

Also, Frank - is incredibly adorable yes, I love him very much yes, I appreciate his irritating little chewy teeth yes... but, I am reaaaaally not into him peeing on my bed :/

Today is laundry day now.

P.S - Kim convinced her husband to drive us up to Rhinebeck! Yay!
