I have spent the last three days in Durham at Full Frame Festival, a documentary festival. My eyes are red from watching all sort of movies. I just finished talking to New York Times reporter Brian Stelter who appears in Andrew Rossi' s documentary One Page. The film revolves around the life of three journalists working for the famous newspaper. Brian was hired for his Twitter mania so I had to talk to him
since I am myself a Twitter fanatic. beside his fast pace way of speaking I was pleased to finally talk to a smart and eloquent person. I forgot how influential and stimulating talking to smart and open minded people are. I suggest everyone to follow him on Twitter.
I am wearing some crazy stuff today. a leather jacket, UO jeans, ballet shoes, top by Hilary's swap.

"Our battered suitcases were were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life."

- Jack Kerouac

I've had a tremendously hard time pulling together an outfit post lately. Blame my scattered mind, or from another perspective, my extremely focused mind that has left little room for anything else. Between the novel, which is halfway through it's "editing", a magical journey I must say, that has taken me places in my mind that are in some ways much more real than anything real I have ever known, my day job as a Publicist for the stars [pshh], and my sometimes scarce, sometimes plentiful attempts to have a "life", I haven't had much room for... thought.



I've thrown on whatever my hand gravitated towards most quickly in the rushed five minutes I allow myself to get dressed, which usually ends up as some kind of boheme inspired mash of clothings, although nothing too much to blog home about. Nothing no one has seen before.



Wearing gray Gap slacks, white button down blouse from lulus, vintage baubles, suitcase, scarf, sigg water bottle.

I've also been a travelling fool, from Athens to Destin to Tampa [today] to the FL Keys [in a few weeks] all in one months time. My life has been one big mental and physical dash. As I was throwing things into my suitcase I thought it made perfect sense to document this oft occurring occasion.

"We were all delighted, we all realized we were leaving confusion and nonsense behind and performing our one noble function of the time, move."

- Jack Kerouac, On the Road

I defended my prelims. Yes! I am so happy. For the occasion I took 3 days or 4 days off, catching up with friends and socializing. I went to see the Mickee faust show, attended a documentary about Martin L. Anderson and went to a BBQ.



For the BBQ and documentary screening I wore a French Connection's dress I got out of the swap with Hilary. It's very short, but very cute. Perfect for the steamy hot weather.



For the show I wore Fiorucci Jeans (about to die), a top my mom owned and bought in Jordan, and a small blue purse by Forever 21. I hate clowns, but Frank was just too nice to avoid taking a picture with.

Urban Outfitters is having a renewal contest called This into that Contest, encouraging people to post a picture of a dress or piece of furniture made with an old vintage item. I decided to participate, even though I am sure they are more talented people out there. here one of the picture. I also have posted more pictures on my other blog: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gincoolette/5593078825/

Hilary and I have been neglecting the blog in any possible ways. I had a friend inquiring about the blog, which prompted me to decide what to do with it. We are offering a special Spring/Summer edition with weekly entries. The topic will still revolve around fashion, more specifically on Summer clothes, since the weather is now steamy and hot. I will also traveling a lot, which should be interesting for my fashion style or lack of. So I will report from different cities and countries. Stay tune.

Here a peak to what expect in the next months.

Here a concert of band of Horses I went to see last night. It was great. I saw them years ago in Chicago, but last night they were amazing. I had a decent spot too;) Taylor, the guitarist is coming out with a new solo album and it is just magic, very nostalgic.
