lanvin toute l'année

today was the start of the lanvin ss '09 trunk show at barneys
it was really nice to see the collection in person, though i was greatly impressed from the pictures.
the sequins/embellishing etc were quite beautiful,
as were the leopard prints!

They also had samples of their denim collaboration with acne, which I'm anticipating not only because of the lower price point, but the unusual use of denim for various pieces of clothing (trench coats and short shorts!).

Another part of the collection that I enjoyed was the t-shirts, which I believe are part of resort.

"I want Lanvin... not flowers..."
I agree.
this is definitely something I could imagine bianca saying.


another beautifully made t-shirt.

and of course, the best part of the trunk show was meeting Alber Elbaz himself.
he has the quote of the day,
"you have big hair and you're a big fan!"

agave margarita and leopard print.

never trust your cat with a lanvin shoe box.

always trust the daily specials at coffee shop.




leopard is so classic.
leopard + lanvin = instant chic,
so says alber elbaz..

once again, Jason did it first.

ps i ate a whole duck while vanessa watched.

fall ahead

I dont know if everyones heard the news,
but today was the start of fall.
And in my opinion, there was no better way to celebrate this than wearing my Lanvin mille feuille bowtie and going to the last day of the San Gennaro festival in little Italy. My stomach is filled to the brim with pasta, cannoli, and fried oreos :)

Hearing the words "today was the official start of fall" brought some thoughts through my head (besides the obvious "today is the last day you can wear your Jil Sander canvas sandals"...) What did I accomplish over the summer? I know this is supposed to be my style blog, but I wanna go off on some other tangents occasionally! I took 2 summer classes and started a great new job.

But there was no summer romance.
Sure, there was the 8 hour date with E (the one who won't wear t-shirts)
the friendship I messed up with the other E (of course that one was all my fault)
and most importantly, my party fling with patrick and bianca, with whome I had amazing times with in l.e.s. and williamsburg. So in that sense I supposed I accomplished a bit. I'll start the fall as a new Jason, atleast partially, and I'll take it from there.

sorry for the blurry picture.

time square has day light at 10PM

Although today was a normal day at work,
The lovely M took me to the fashion & contemporary art party at christie's auction house.
It was pretty nice, and thankfully networking ensued.

Also, I treated myself to one of the new Alexander Wang bags that I've had my eye on (...every day I've been at work for the past 2 weeks). The bags are pretty fab, and they're going fast. It was a perfect day to buy it since I needed a small bag to take out with me at night.

So as for tonights look,
(I wore this to work minus the bag, vest and tie/scarf)

long day in the city

hi all,

I was fortunate enough to have 2 extra hours this morning to decide what to wear since i just threw on some jeans and a tshirt to go to the doctor/bank in the am.

It was so cool out when I left, but by the time I walked home it was hot, so I decided on shorts.




white button down by Diesel
shorts by h&m
scarf/tie Lanvin
Jil Sander sandals return

I really thought this outfit was cute in contrast to the colorful stuff I usually wear. I'd like to start wearing more smart looks, so I'm considering investing in some nice button down shirts. This kind of look reminds me of a "friend", E, who "doesn't wear t-shirts", or text me to hang out, for that matter.

I dragged my new friend N around soho today to shop.
My first destination was the new Jil Sander store, which, as I discovered is the only store that bought the marble stuff from the fall/winter '08 collection. I would have diiied for those marble jeans, but they're sold out in my size. So by all means, if you're a 31 waist, grab them before they're gone. In addition, if you haven't been to the store yet, please try to, it's across from Opening Ceremony.

Next was 3.1 Philip Lim to by a shirt I knew I wanted.


We have it at Barneys, but only in an olive color, but I liked this one much more.

Also picked up these cute pillow cases at urban outfitters!


la torre eiffel!
