This project in New York for the Samsung Smart Camera has taken over my life with successive 12 hour days but it’s also been the most incredible experience getting to tick all of those classic New York must-dos off my list. I’ve now walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, posed with the Charging Bull, shopped around Williamsburg, been to the Museum of Modern Art, seen Grand Central Station, dodged squirrels in Washington Square Park, attended my first Yankees game, paid respects at the new Céline store, had a feast of a picnic in Central Park, and been to the top of the Empire State Building. Actually that last one I apparently did when I was little but anything where childhood amnesia applies doesn’t count. And if you’re picturing running in and out of these places all cartoon squirrel-like to see so much so quickly, just picture that harder. It was crazy fun seeing all the places I never have time to explore during fashion week, thank you Samsung (and Carlos and Andrea and Min and Moon and Alessandro)! My job is so freaking weird. Now it’s time to melt into the Ritz’s sheets and drift out of consciousness.

 I’m in New York City all this week for a project I’m working on with Samsung for their new wifi-ready ‘Smart Camera’ – today had me running all over the city, actually correction, being driven in a party bus all over the city. Complete with a stripper pole and communal whiskey on hand. I even got to intermittently play street style photographer and spend a couple hours at the MoMA. Made sure to text my mom photos of all of her favorite pieces. Got rained on, had Céline take a little bit more of my soul, made friends with a cop. Definite flats day. And it starts all over again tomorrow with new destinations. I must say party busing around is an ideal means to explore a city, as long as you don’t ask the driver what happened within its confines the weekend prior. But we all make mistakes sometimes.

 So happy to be back in LA for a couple days! Celebrating returning to spring with some nice flimsy silk on silk..I’m obsessed with the lace detailing on the sleeves of this Lover top that I got on my first trip to Australia back in March. Shorts are ancient and the Marant wedges are just…back.

 Ok I haven’t been the best at posting while here in Australia but I’ll definitely have a massive post to make out of this trip. We moved over to an apartment in Bondi after fashion week for a change of scenery and have tried to make the most out of every minute since. Hopefully you guys are following me on Instagram (my username is rumineely) for updates! Now time to head to the airport and back to LA.
