Etiquette That Still Matters
Being that we are in the twenty-first century now, it seems to me that our manners have kind of died off… along with ponchos and tie dye shirts. While I am quite okay with seeing these fashion statements turn into fashion no-no’s, I do hope that proper etiquette can be kept alive and reinforced in society. Here’s a few bits of etiquette that should still be followed: 1. Table manners. PLEASE, for the love of God, chew with your mouth closed. I really don’t want to see the chewed up matter in your mouth, much less listen to you smacking as you chew on it. I remember a rhyme that I learned as…
Holga Lovin’
I have a love/hate relationship with my Holga 35mm camera. Love, because I absolutely adore the way most of my pictures turn out – the light leaks are always a beautiful surprise, and I’ve figured out how to do double exposures. Hate, because I never know how the pictures will turn out, or if they even will turn out, for that matter. It’s definitely one of the most temperamental cameras around – blurry pictures happen, the film itself can mess up, and so on. Even so, I personally think that the occasional frustration that comes with using this kind of camera is well worth the unique pictures that you get. After taking…
Mixtape Monday: Some Pep In Your Step

Amber’s Diary: Going Out With A Bang
This has been both the longest and shortest week of my life. There were so many shows that at one point I did not know what day it was. Alas, NYFW has come to a close and we are moving on to London. But, we are not quite done talking about New York. Narciso Rodriguez was without a doubt my favorite show to work this season. Everything was running smoothly… except for a few minor details (but we figured that out). The collection was very beautifully constructed – it consisted of architectural skirts and dresses with capes. My favorite dress was the orange dress featured below. It is absolutely stunning,…
Amber’s Diary: The Complete Experience
I knew I was going to do a TON of walking, but man am I sore! I have shin splints, my knees are killing me, and I have three bruises on my legs. Fashion week sure does put your body through hell, but let me tell you, it’s worth it. So, lets talk Band of Outsiders – probably one of the coolest shows so far. They had a giant screen that showed an image of an LA street, and they had a huge “HOLLY” sign. The image on the screen moved with the music. It was a complete experience, and let me tell you, that experience was amazing. Not only…

Disposed: More Euro Trippin’
Our friend Christina Robertson took some lovely photos on her trip in Europe! Check them out. All are as is, no editing, taken with a disposable camera!
Amber’s Diary: Let The Shows Begin
Let me forewarn you: since I am working these shows, I am not allowed a camera. I am only allowed to use my phone. Since it is a phone I cannot get a still shot. Instead I will be sharing videos of the final walk. Enjoy! So, after two days of long hours at the office, I finally worked my first show of the SS14 season of NYFW. It was the rag & bone show on Friday, September 6. Marcus Wainwright and David Neville did an outstanding job mixing masculine varsity sweaters with feminine, silky slips. And can we talk about that orange lip?! Today I worked the Louise Goldin…
Is He Into You?
So you met this guy, right, and he’s hot and funny and smart and basically perfect. You’ve exchanged numbers, maybe hung out a few times, and now it has come to the worst part: trying to figure out if he actually likes you, or if he just wants to hit it and quit it. It took me awhile to master the art of reading minds, but it turns out that it’s not THAT hard (usually), so I’ve compiled a list of signs to look for, if you want to find out if your special guy is actually into you. 1. He’s taken you out on a date. A…
Amber’s Diary: Livin’ The Dream
Let me introduce myself: my name is Amber, I take photos, my cat is my soul mate, and I am the coolest person you will ever meet. That is, until you meet Beyonce. Right now you may be thinking, “Amber, why are you introducing yourself?” Well, that is because I want you to know a little about myself. “What are you going to be writing about?” Well pumpkin, I am here to tell you the story of a small town girl going to New York to live out her dreams! Cliché? Yes, I know. So let’s get to the dream. The dream is to be front row, sitting next to…
