valley girl

obsessed with this layout of vlada from numero toyko. It's all so very candy-colored 90's chic. and her as a redhead is just too kick ass for words.

bite me

after seeing kristen stewart rockin some seriously hot yigal azrouel at the mtv movie awards last night (with chucks no less) i had to do some googling and i came across these photos from a slightly old Elle shoot. i'm totally loving her in Chanel and these shots make me want to dye my hair super dark brown. i also give her huge props for making pale skin look this amazing.

umbrellas and coffee

rainy friday. morning thundershowers are made for days you don't have to get out of bed, not days that you have to open the store. thank god for starbucks.

going out tonight to re-celebrate my birthday since i didn't get much of a candle situation the first time around. also, i'm definitely wearing my new dress... i don't care if its too much for sarasota, i can't wait any longer to give it a true night out.

nyc snapshots

some real (and polardroid) polaroids from my nyc visit complete with a rooftop tea party and cupcake porn. 

fun fact: i'm named after madison avenue in new york. while technically my parents came up with the name while watching "splash" (the mermaid movie with tom hanks and daryl hannah) hannah's character names herself after the infamous street in nyc. i see it as validation as to why i'm so obsessed with city life and fashion.

at work playing around in my new 3.1 phillip lim skirt courtesy of Barneys. already missing nyc hardcore.

musings

i'm officially back from new york totally exhausted, totally broke and totally needing to move there. while immersing myself in new york culture i got to check out the "model as muse" exhibit at the MET and then proceeded to buy the amazing book with some of the most classically gorgeous fashion photography i've ever seen. the above are some select favorites.

NYC for my big 23

daria worship

obsessing

today i'm: loving all things julia roitfeld, eating chocolate "little bites" frosted mini wheats... new favorite snack food, being a week away from a plane ride to NYC for 6 days, loving razors with massive moisturizing bars, changing lanes constantly, planning for my mom's bday on thursday, counting down the seconds til my brother arrives, needing this in tri-light pink, this in tri-lemon and this in black.
