So here we are, nearly a week after the show and I’m just posting pictures from the Nirva show last Monday. I also reviewed the show for New Brahmin. It was my favorite show in terms of the clothes. They were so beautiful and classy and colorful. At the last moment, I hopped up from my seat in the audience and snuck into the photographers pit, which allowed me to get some pretty good photos. Do you like the collection as much as I do?

My brain and feet are still fried from the week. In addition to doing lots of fun stuff for Boston Fashion Week, I’ve also had a hell of a week at work. And a certain cat duo still think my bed makes a great boxing ring. But only when I’m asleep in it.
I wore this on Tuesday night to see Emily Muller’s premiere collection. It was great, by the way- photos to come. I learned something important that night. A strapless shirt, skin-tight jeans, and high heels are not conducive to taking photographs. Trust me on this. On the other hand, my strapless shirt from H&M is a total win. It looks great in real life. [Update- I originally said the shirt is from H&M, but it's really from Forever21. My apologies!]

Last night I rolled myself off the couch and headed out to my second Boston Fashion Week event, Sam Mendoza’s showing at Rocca in the South End. It was the perfect end to the weekend and the best thing to pump me up for upcoming events.
Like I said on twitter, anyone who thinks Boston isn’t stylish was proven wrong. It was absolutely packed and everyone looked great. No North Face, Patagonia, uggs, or Lily Pulitzer in sight. I was busy wrestling with my purse, jacket, camera, and glass of prosecco (yum), so I couldn’t stalk individuals for outfit pics. But imagine heels, heels, and more heels. Layered rock-n-roll silver necklaces and nature-inspired jewelry. Gorgeous afros, blondes with waves, and bangs on nearly everyone. Preppy college style taken to the next level with letterman’s jackets and cardigans. Lots of silk and patterns.
So, yeah beautiful people, beautiful clothes. And a lovely collection from Sam Mendoza. He has quite the loyal following in Boston and everyone seemed very impressed with his newest work. It was a very small collection shown my models lounging on a set, surrounded by persian rugs and bottles of champagne. The majority of the collection was beautiful gowns, but I loved the drapey tops and casual pants the most. I got a few photos of the collection with my tiny and very old point-and-shoot. Ugh. A new compact camera is the newest item on a long list of things I want to purchase. Where oh where is my sugar daddy??

This is the last of that sort of thing. Now I’m cleaning up and I’m moving on, going straight and choosing life. I’m looking forward to it already. I’m gonna be just like you.
I went to the gym this morning and was very excited to see my favorite movie, Trainspotting, on the tv. It was like visiting with old friends. Friends who are heroin addicts, have terrible hygiene, and are generally fucking insane.
Boston Fashion Week is going right now, continuing through till Friday or Saturday. I’ll be covering some of the shows for New Brahmin, so make sure to check the site! I’m also heading to the Swapaholics swap and blogger meet-up on Thursday. I already have set aside a bag of goodies. I cannot wait!
In the meantime, here’s an outfit I wore to work last week. I really love the socks and sandals together, although I gotta a hell of a lot of odd looks. The skirt is a maxi skirt from H&M that I wear often. I pinned the front up and the back fell naturally into a balloon hem.
cardigan- Zara
shirt- American Apparel
skirt- H&M
shoes- Seychelles

I tried to salvage this photo, which came out terribly. As if the shoes aren’t bright enough, the dress is that yellow-green neon shade that is notoriously hard to photograph. I ordered the dress months and months ago and was pissed when I received it and realized it’s completely sheer. It took another couple of months to find something to layer underneath. And still I went all summer without wearing it. Since it was the last weekend of August, I figured I might as well break it out.
I wore it to Bond lounge in the Langham Hotel in Post Office Square. Bond, by the way, is gorgeous, the music is great, and the drinks are stiff. If you’re in Boston, you should visit. I got quite a few compliments on my outfit, albeit from some very drunk folks. I’m debating on wearing this dress during the day. Yay? Nay?
