Jacket - Zara / Shirtdress - Silent by Damir Doma / Belt - Ann Demeulemeester / Bag - Martin Margiela / Boots - Minimarket
I feel like I am making December resolutions in preparation for New Years. I am often impatient and can't be bothered to wait another month! I will blog regularly, I will resurrect my social life, I will go running more often, I will eat out less, etc etc. My 2.5 years in New York have been such a gradual increase in work intensity that I now get to the point where I become very overwhelmed but somehow deal with it all. There are a lot of changes that will have to happen in 2012 to improve my business, which is equally daunting, terrifying, and exciting... On a lighter note, I spent a lovely afternoon with my gorgeous friend Dana and decided it was time to become reacquainted with my neglected camera.
Dana is a shoe goddess. This particular pair is by Cheap Monday, and I must admit that I am pretty tempted to get a pair for myself, but I feel like that would be going against girl code! Plus its not like I need another pair of shoes... ...
The Ann Demeulemeester belt is a sort of hand-me-down gift from my mom. When I was visiting San Francisco, she mentinoed that although she loves it, its a bit too busy for her and asked if I would like to take it off of her hands. Clearly, I couldn't refuse. You can't see it here, but it wraps around twice and has all sorts of differently sized buckles and straps. Thanks mom!
Unlike straight hair, when the wind has its way my hair moves as an entire unit. Fun!

Hi Zana,
You don't know me, but my lovely friend Nicholas is in your Riot of Perfume photos (and Eugenie used to live down the street from me the last time she lived in Brooklyn).
At any rate, regarding (early) New Year's resolutions: Do everything that you want to do, or feel the need to do, solely for yourself. Work (or social obligation) should never get in the way of taking care of yourself, whether that's mental health, physical health, etc. There is always, always time, and creativity and output will never suffer at the expense of self care. I expect you're hearing this from many quarters; you wouldn't be able to do what you do without some understanding of this. But do the things that you say you're going to do for yourself. And if it's not the right time to do them, don't beat yourself up about not doing them. Do what you can; do a little at a time. And keep doing what you do -- for yourself, and for the people you love.
Happy Holidays.

I love how when I come to your blog every few months, I can expect to see your style, but always somehow better. I personally don't wear the Zana Bayne line, but I have an incredible appreciation for it. I LOVE how it maintains itself, and has it's own place in style and fashion. Love the duo here as well! Love your friend's dress!
Good to know this site. keep posting!
