one girl, her room || 10.28.10
The Girl: She works two jobs to afford Brooklyn rent, but she wouldn’t live anywhere else. Her favorite things are weekday concerts, sweet potato fries, menswear, and Prospect Park in the fall.
Her Room: Her ground floor studio is filled to the brim with pattern and color, family hand-me-downs and vintage second-hand purchases. She looks at her night stand and smiles, remembering sleepovers at grandma’s when she was a little kid.

LCY Listens: Mumford and Sons
A more recent addition to my playlist are several songs by the band Mumford and Sons, my favorite of which is Little Lion Man. This is the tune Nate came to me with, and I was immediately captivated by the song’s bold sound; the perfect pluck pluck pluck of the string instruments combines with the lead singer’s rough voice to make this a bit of rock/bit of folk musical combo. Adding to the quality of the music is the beautiful art direction of the video itself. Of course, it helps that the four scruffy-bearded musicians look like they fell out of the movie Newsies. Helloooo vests. But the lighting, the setting, the angles, the dramatic motions of their playing make each and every frame a carefully thought-out photograph. See below.







Third favorite song: The Cave
You can find a few more on my playlist, but to be honest, I recommend going on iTunes and buying their album. Enjoy!

Bippity Boppity Boo: A Cinderella Story Part 2
BEFORE: Nate and I bought this table on Craigslist three years ago for a mere $45. I loved it then. I hate it now. The overall size and shape – especially with the lower shelf (not shown here) – is perfect for our needs, but the finish was too red and it just didn’t go with all of the white and espresso wood throughout the rest of our apartment. So, I called up my gal Bailey to borrow her electric sander (which I am now convinced I need to invest in), ran to Home Depot for some white paint, and got to work.

LCY in San Francisco
This weekend was round two of Rue in the City, West Coast style. The five of us – Caitlin, Anne, Crystal, Bri, and I – reunited in the Bay Area for photo shoots, another launch party, and of course, to have some fun!
SUNDAY: After an afternoon of shopping in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights neighborhood, we journeyed across the bridge for our launch party at the Kate Spade store in Marin County.
