Wolcott : Takemoto Spring 2013

A couple months ago, I styled and shot some outfits for Bird's blog.  These are the photos that I took--you can see the photos that Jack took up on the blog now!

Alasdair

A quick little mini-shoot that I shot and styled for Bird's blog on a new line called Alasdair.

The other part of the shoot I styled for Bird's blog featuring Pakayla's paintings.

I styled some outfits that look like Pakayla's paintings.  Anna Li shot the photos and Rachel Scott modeled them.  Check them out on Bird's blog!

The Wild Unknown

I ordered one of these awesome calanders at Bird  last month and it's prematurely up on my wall!  (I got the kittens of course).  Each month features a new adorable sketch along with a lyric to some classic song that you most likely love.  They're available in kittens, bird & bunnies, or feathers.  Get 'em at Bird or on the Wild Unknown site.

Lauren Manoogian

So excited about my new Lauren Manoogian scarf!  We're experiencing a bit of a heat wave in New York, so I can't really wear it yet--but it'll be perfect for Europe and the plane ride there.

Suno.

Trying out this super cool Suno necklace that Max & Co gave to us Bird employees a couple months ago.

So...the launch party was amazing--I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to show up.  Well, I  do wish my out-of-state friends and family could have come too, but maybe next time? Also, I'm so excited that Bird wrote about us in their blog!  It is such an honor to be featured on my favorite store's site. :)

Raquel Allegra Fall 2011

I don't normally find myself gravitating toward Raquel Allegra's clothes because I do not like deconstructed things,  but she is really winning me over with her fall line.  I got the dress in the first picture (in black) today and I'm in love.  First of all, there's nothing deconstructed about the dress, it's in this amazing wool gauze, and it's lined in super soft cotton jersey.  It really is the perfect winter dress. At  Bird, we have that black skirt (3rd photo down) in an amazing white gauze. (There's actually a photo of me wearing it here)  AND we have a mustard cropped shirt version of the dress that I got. I want it all.  But I decided on the dress even though I neeeever wear black.  I figure every girl needs a good black dress in their closet--especially a warm, flowy, shirtdress.

Photos from Totokaelo.

Bird party

Last night my coworkers and I attended the Prospect Park Junior Committee's Summer Soiree.  Electric boat rides, Thai rum, and dancing!  Oh, and Bill Cunningham took my picture.  Of course, in typical Natasha fashion, I had just stuffed my face with some pesto pasta salad and my cheeks were completely full of food while he snapped my photo.  Oh god.  I mean, I have been daydreaming about this moment for so long and it finally comes and I have a face full of pasta!  I can't complain though...I am so incredibly honored that he even took my photo!  He was the sweetest man--just like in his movie.  I doubt it'll get published, but that's ok!

Want. Can't.

Oh, I don't know why I do this to myself.  Every sale season, I torture myself by browsing my favorite shop websites-even when I know very well that I shouldn't be spending money on clothes.  I came upon this Edith Miller jumper on Totokaelo and I was immediately in love. I own one striped Edith Miller boatneck top and I absolutely love it.  This jumper would definitely come in handy on these hot & muggy New York days....

Sweet Magazine May '11 feature!

A few months ago, a couple of sweet ladies from Sweet Magazine came by Bird and took me and Lily's photo!  Here's a scan of the article!

(I'm wearing a dress by Whit and No.6 shoes.  Lily is wearing an Etoile Isabel Marant jumper and Woman by Common Projects wedges.)

Recently acquired.

I've gone a little crazy when it comes to "buying" clothes lately, but it is just so hard when you're constantly surrounded by beautiful clothes....and the weather is changing so I have nothing to wear....(insert more excuses that'll make me feel better). I have never been one to spend a ton of money on clothes. I have always been happy thrifting and scrounging for cheap deals (I still am!) but as I "mature", I feel like filling my closet with quality goods that I can have for a looong time.  Luckily, I earn money towards clothing at my job, so pretty much all of these babies are mine guilt free!  

(From top, left to right) Kork-Ease platforms*, No.6 Kiltie clogs, Rag & Bone jeans, Madras APC cotton embroidered dress, Steven Alan striped maxi dress, Girl Band of Outsiders cropped sweater, Won Hundred button up*, Madewell linen tee.

Menswear bags: Lotuff & Clegg

I have always been one for wearing men's clothing.  Whenever I get the chance, I steal my boyfriend's chambray button-ups or his oversized tweed APC sweater (I LOVE THAT THING).  Another area of menswear that I simply love is men's bags.  We just started carrying Lotuff & Clegg where I work and their pieces are going so fast.  When we first opened up the box of goods, all of my co-workers immediately picked their favorite bag, brought it over to the full-length mirror, and started to imagine what life would be like if only they owned it.  Here are just a few of my favorite pieces.

Oh, and another great thing about this company; the bags are all made in Massachusetts and they're vegetable tanned!
