One of the best surprises I could possibly imagine, my boyfriend and I were invited over to Erin Wasson's apartment before heading over to the presentation of her line for RVCA (which was pretty much the entire reason we flew out here), in a cab with none other than Erin's mom. Above all I just have to say how chill everyone was - such nice people, and Erin of course is just as down to earth and fun as she always seems in photos. The entire line looked rad, and the silver metallic shorts and denim vest are even better in real life.

My boyfriend snapped some amazing pictures the entire night, before all of a sudden getting hit by, in his words, by the "surprisingly strong" girly drinks he was enjoying so much. It was an unbelievable time, and we definitely have more photos to post, but honestly we're so tired it's hard to even look at the monitor without our eyes glazing over. New York = a lot of walking. I want to move here bad.

: You seem like you're good at mingling and NY is ALL about who you know.

NY is so managable even if you're broke haha.(like me)

i would like to be jealous...i am not ...this is awesome !

Jane said...

That's one unexpected photoshoot. I can imagine everybody having a heart attack in front of their computer (not that I'm not part of them haha). But how do you know her in first place, no sorry I ment, how does Erin know you in first place?

Loking forward to see more of the shoot :)

Anonymous said...

it really is amazing that you had the honor to be invited! You look great too! I'm just not to sure bout the clothes. It's taking grunge a bit too far for regular people even if you look like rumi. Unless, well, you're a model and famous. I do like the items seperately worn with different things..

pris said...

aaahhh you bitch!
haha no seriously youre so lucky
loving the picture of you and erin together.

Even though you're Asian and all, you completely look like a white honey-blonde person next to actually white people, LOL. (Makes me wonder how you look like in your natural hair color or darker color). Just wondering.

That's awesome you met Erin. Her apartment is gorgeous. Your shoes are killer.

KD said...

Wow, you are so incredibly lucky! You MUST MUST MUST visit Allan & Suzi's on 80th and Ansterdam, Upper West Side. The prices are high, but he is more than willing to haggle. I once got a fabulous British silk evening purse for $28 instead of the original $75 because Allan was so nice he let me get it for that, because that was all the money I had on me.
