There’s a block on Madison that makes every other block on this avenue kind of irrelevant, and that’s the block between 70th and 71st. Two remarkable brands set up shop here, Celine and Laduree. They are right next to each other. I guess the best of the best like to congregate? Already posted about Laduree [...]

Nobody gets to see the craziness that goes on behind certain posts. (So many e-mails and comments full of curiosity..how it’s being done, who is doing it..are there 10 people behind this blog?? Does she have a personal chef, photographer, seamstresses, 4 assistants..) Hard hustling. That is all. Ideas are just coward projections, but the [...]

This was probably one of the most difficult projects I’ve had to take on thus far, and it wasn’t for this website. It was a project I had to complete for Nowness.com, which is a online magazine that features work by people who contribute creatively to the fashion and arts. As always I was a [...]

This morning I will post this and then start work, Monday blues hitting me hard but still excited about the prospect of starting fresh. Yesterday I mentioned that I had I awoke at 2 am, so before 10 am I got so so much work done. This allowed me some temporary freedom from a week [...]

Today I woke up at 2 am so I was able to do some shooting before starting the day, may visit a friend out of state or may go to the studio, depends on my mood. Also, had to burn some music for my car. Was really tired of listening to my iPhone, craving Harmon [...]

One of my favorite movies is Mulholland Drive by David Lynch. Reasons, love the switching between dreams to reality but really I think the point Lynch is trying to make with his films is that dreams are realities and realities are dreams, no difference right? Cause what you’re thinking at night when you’re sleeping …

Some fried foods and beer, and ..some friends. Pregaming. But lets take it vertical. Koreans are heavy drinkers, and they have these things called levels. 1st 2nd 3rd level. 1st could be dinner and drinks, and then 2nd can be going to a bar, and 3rd could be ending up back at someone’s house for [...]

Wow I am being very good about answering all your questions no? Sitting down for a little break now. Just finished my 3rd espresso of the day. All this curiosity about knives..Is it this knife block below we’re talking about? Get it here.

Priorities: Getting some restaurant brioche loaves from Balthazar, and then doing a minimal french toast setup with 2 dipping sauces, no maple syrup… If you’ve been around the block with brioche, you’ll know that Balthazar’s really the only one worth eating. Lost my gloves. Oh well. Dark chocolate… Prepare cream for both the chocolate and [...]

Hey guys. I’m so over everything right now, really. Weather’s cold outside, making my way out of dream state at 4-5 am, I’m just craving warmth under the covers, and I’m this close to jetting down south for warmer climates. Why can’t spring come sooner? This blasé feeling is definitely going to influence the way [...]

Like to have my sunglasses on while I’m shooting! It protects my eyes… little behind the scenes peek here, to the right I have a stack of photography equipment (lights, batteries, lenses, films, etc).. New post coming soon! See you.

Pulled up some really old stuff! While making the switch from blogger to wordpress I let a lot of stuff go…Here is something I made for my dog inspired by the the look to the left… Who wore it better..? Japanese artist to the right, me to the left.. Going through my flickr, 700 pages [...]

Okay, now I have to answer more questions, first with all the curiosity on the Nikes, and now with the adidas. I give you my hand, and you want my arm. Well heck, take my body. Home now, finished work but still working.. e-mail comb, facebook pollution, you know the deal. No whiskey …

Last night, mistakes! haha, morning, brushed off, and crystal. Got a girl on twitter asking me about my shoes, and girls in the comments asking as well. Gotta answer, so I did some googling for y’all. More info here. I sliced off the tag on the inside? There is some kinda number, what is …

New envelopes, and and new juice routine. Can’t go back to Naked now, these blueprint juices are insanity. Designed new envelopes, wanted to do something a little different. Transparent on the outside. Packaging on this juice cuts to the chase. Love how the ingredients are listed and printed on clear stickers. Downside, so $$. …

So I’ve already let you in on my breakfast routine, but what about a day? Today I had the best day, so I just had to share. Rarely get to spend a whole day with my mom, so I was so excited. One thing about me I’m very close with my family. Blood relations, kinda [...]

Hey guys, don’t celebrate my birthday at all, actually we never acknowledge birthdays in my family, sometimes I forget when my parents’ birthdays are! But today my friends bought me a cake anyway, so happy about that. It’s beautiful! Gonna dig in now… Crap just realized that it’s 2012, titled this thing wrong. Ha.

Last night got weird, like a light switch, but again with the priorities. So much to do now, barely made my way here but building a lox bagel from yesterday’s leftovers is autopilot for me. A couple bites deep now, here is another collaboration I just completed (first major one was with Anastasia Radevich). This [...]

Priorities and rituals, not much in between going on in life. We’ve already discussed priorities, so now I’m taking the ritual chase. Sunday morning, lox on bagels, some friends and coffee. Gloves off. Need to write thank you note to Adele? Her jam made my sunday morning shoot very chill. Sambuca, anyone? Grinding some fresh [...]

Well good morning! I am a woman of my word, and I mentioned that I’d be doing some more breakfast posts like this, intimate setting. Made my way out of a whiskey haze at 5 am this morning but my priorities were crystal. Use up the rest of that truffle I bought, shoot, post, and [...]
