That Boy is a Monster

Lily Donaldson for Harpers Bazaar US

The times when models frequently graced the covers of magazines has been gone for quite some time (since about the time I was in diapers), but I SO wish that would change. Celebrities are overexposed as it is and constantly seeing them on every cover of every magazine gets old in my opinion. Unfortunately, in a time when magazines are lucky to be alive, celebrities sell magazines and that's the bottom line. Boo.

That's why when I saw the January cover of Harper's Bazaar with a model (shocker!) on the cover and shot by Terry Richardson, I felt a wave of sheer delight. It's really stunning and the spread inside is even better. The clothes, the adorable animals, the genius of the oh-so-creepy Terry Richards and the multiple shots of Lily smiling. Perfection in my eyes, bravo Harper's Bazaar and Julia Von Boehm for making it happen.

 I love everything about this shot. 

Gorgeous.

2011, I love you already

I have a feeling this is going to be a fantastic year. Good riddance 2010 (and 2009 for that matter).

It's my Birthday! Unfortunately, I'm now one of those that hasn't seen much excitement in a birthday since I turned 21. Either way, I'll be able to share it with family and close friends before heading back to the big apple.

Veg

Vegetable. That is what I have been for the past week. I've been home in Colorado for the long holiday (I took a nice seven days off from work) and I've immensely enjoyed doing absolutely nothing. Well, nearly nothing. Taking the dogs for morning walks, cooking with my Mom, driving my car (something I can't ever do in NY and miss terribly), cuddling with my dog Bella, laughing with my brother, spending time with my best friend and her kids and watching countless movies.

I love New York City and don't see myself leaving for a long time but sometimes the "hustle and bustle" does get to me. The peace of being on my family's little farm and looking up at the foothills really does bring me back down and appreciate the things most important to me.

Fall Time

I absolutely love fall and all that comes with it. While most are sad and depressed to see the last days of summer, I feel happy and optimistic. The warm weather tends to make me moody and annoyed after what feels like months of sweltering heat in New York. I also like to layer, I grew up in Texas so this was something I was never able to do and once I moved to Colorado (for college) I realized how nice it is. The holidays make me feel like I have something to look forward to, the food is extra hearty and yummy and I get to vacation more than normal in the fall months. All in all, fall is wonderful and I'm glad my blog can catch the tail end of it.
