A few weeks ago I went to Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, and LA for James’ birthday. He had been dying to go to the desert since we first met and I can now see why. A bagillion amazing photos, great weather, prop sourcing for a Virgin Suicides themed shoot, and a fantastic stay at the Ace Hotel followed. There is a healthy dose of photos from our trip on his blog, but I’m just going to post the pictures of me. This is my blog and I can do what I want!!

James has been posting some amazing photos from our epic trip. He turned 30 and I turned 28 and we found cheap tickets and our excuse to get out of New York. In two weeks we managed to cover major cities and the Greek Islands. We traveled to Rome, Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, Crete, Milan, Florence, and Venice in that order. Even though at times it was a whirlwind it managed to be relaxing.
Perfect weather. Delicious pizza, pasta, and cheeses. Gelato every day. Fantastic Leather bags and gladiator sandals. Donkeys and cute stray cats. Electric blue and bleached white architecture. Teeny tiny cars driven by insane Greek drivers. I’m normally not a sun worshiper, but it was so spectacular I made an exception.
Here are some of my favorite photos James shot. You can see more on his blog.

I’m making a concerted effort to find more women designers, photographers, and motion graphics wunderkinds. Today I discovered the really beautiful work of photographer Anna Wolf. I especially like that she had a “little book” section on her portfolio. Oh zines, I have forsaken you. I really should do another one. It’s been…oh, a decade.
Judging by her portfolio Anna seems to often shoot for Urban Outfitters, Free People, Quicksilver, and Domino. Makes sense, her portraits are flattering, the natural lighting is dreamy, and her locations “I want to go to there.”

So, Valentine’s Day, surprisingly, was not a fail. James worked on the Benjamin Bixby shoot on the official day (hanging out with Andre from Outkast till 2 am, pretty lucky). Check this out:
So, instead we celebrated on the 13th. Friday I came back from BNS and low and behold, the apartment was sparkling clean, there was the bf sitting on my couch, suit and tie, with a bouquet of flowers and a box all wrapped up in twine containing (my) rose gold ring from 1875. Now engraved with “lil sneak.” Sorry if this makes you barf, but it was so cute. We had dinner at the newly opened Williamsburg-outpost of Caracas. It was deliciousssss.
The next day I trekked to Dashwood Books, across the street from Oak and soon-to-be-opened The Smile. Dashwood is awesome. They sell only a well curated selection of fancy photography books and have employees that grill you about what your boyfriend looks like, if he’s a sicko for liking Araki, how you two met, and what he bought you for V-day. Weirdness!
I figured a book coupled with fancy treats from Something Sweet would do the trick. Unfortunately, I had a hard time figuring out which photographer’s book to purchase; Araki? Shore? Eggelston? I finally selected “A Message for You” by Guy Bourdin, published by Steidl. Luckily, he loved it.
