Birthday at the museum.

We were there until we got kicked out.  Surprisingly because they were closing and NOT because I started dancing with all the displays… and hugging whatever wasn’t behind glass.

BEST BIRTHDAY EVER. <3 <3 <3 Jacob

The Rachel Zoe Project: Season 1, Brad vs. Taylor

I liked her sassy badass attitude.  Miss u Taylor.

I haven’t kept up with this season’s The Rachel Zoe Project, because quite frankly my favorite part of the show was Taylor. Too much trash talking on her!

Still <3 Rachel’s style though.

Dance party with Reni.  See full gallery by NickyDigital here.

Things move fast around here. One minute, we’re a wee little family of nerdy music heads on a baby Tumblr, the next minute we’ve got thousands of new friends and we’re working in a blog community that’s growing like a weed.

Last summer, I wrote a list of who I thought was putting up the …

I straightened my hair today, so it’s not it’s usual messy half-wavy/half-straight whateverness.  Makes me feel extra asian… and also just realized how long my hair actually is right now.

Doing the hustle!  The work hustle that is.  But I also love the disco hustle.

And my hustle partner will be back from the middle east TONIGHT… which means I no longer have to hustle alone (work-wise and dance-wise).  

I’ve also taken to the habit of listening to the hustle on repeat while sending out emails and drafting proposals.  Can we get some remixes in the house to switch it up for me please? DISCO!

secretagtkelle asked: How are you able to attend all these events??

In which way do you mean that question?

If you meant it in the “Oh my gosh, you go to so many events! How do you do it?!?”

The answer is strength, the party stamina of Michelangelo in the Ninja Turtles, a desire for adventure and meeting awesome people, and smooth social calendar planning.

If you mean how do I get invited to them, there are numerous reasons:

• I get asked to cover something for DesignerSocial
• PR companies and event planners I know invite me to their parties
• My friends who make awesome things that have events for the awesome things they make invite me
• I throw the event and invite myself
• People meet me randomly and love my energy and want me around at the things that they go to
• I’m not invited at all, and just crash the party

At any rate it’s all in the pursuit of rocking out (and makes for good content on my blog).

Behold the awesome ball of disco.  Makes any party a dance party.

Ronen captures me in my natural habitat.  (or ex-natural habitat… I very rarely go to Lit these days).  Love that little nook by the DJ booth in the basement, as seen here.

Last week we joined the Cynthia O’Connor Showroom for some summer cocktails with their designers, including Katherine Kwei, Ted Rossi, and Kooba (all carried on DesignerSocial!). We not only like going to multi-brand showrooms to seek out trends & cover specific lines, but also to pick out our favorite things across the board.   

Here are a few of my picks from the COC+Co event:

1. I love me a good leather jacket with studs.  I’m serious when I say I want that studded Candela moto jacket to be part of my wardrobe this Fall/Winter 
2. I have a thing about collecting elephants (they’re lucky!)  Those elephant key rings are so cute, and perfect to take that luck around with you wherever you go! (Botkier)
3. Not that I’m planning on getting married any time soon, but I would wear that pink dress to my wedding.  (I’m all about not wearing the traditional white gown).  (dress by Candela)
4. I love all dresses made by Foley + Corinna. That flapper-esque black number and that sparkly piece are right up my alley.
5. The lack of laces on those open toe, high heeled oxfords are a nice touch.  Who needs to mess with laces?  It gives the shoe a cleaner look as well.  (shoes by Kooba)
6. Saying hi to one of our favorites, Katherine Kwei!
