home is wherever i'm with you

in about twenty-four hours i will be back home, in Orange County, visiting my beloved family & friends, and for my big sister SOPHIA'S ENGAGEMENT PARTAYYY. i've kind of been waiting for this day since the day i realized i was going to be living in nyc, after landing my job at 3.1 phillip lim...and then soon after landing my internship at nylon.<br /><br />a lot can happen in two months apparently. i settled into a cozy nest that my three boyfriends/roommates built on the UWS; found my home-away-from-home-away-from home in SoHo -- the 3.1 phillip lim store and the nylon offices so happen to be one block away from each other. how convenient right?<br /><br />i snapped a few pictures of each of my spots, so i can show you around to my new zip code. i'm definitely in love with the city and my new life here, but honestly...<br /><br />home (orange county) is where the heart <i>really </i>is.<br /><br /><br />[the APARTMENT]<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

The Wedding March - 1950 - From This Day Forward

<B>I keep looking at these brides and think of my Mom, who was married in the early fifties. These were some high standards to meet, but I think those brides were really good at meeting standards...they were expected to be picture perfect, they were to furnish their homes with the sterling silver they received, the Groom was to be tall and well off, it was a good idea to have a couple of good looking friends or sisters to be bridesmaids, and the wedding should be held in a suitably impressive location. And you weren't suppose to need valium for a couple of years! </B><p> <a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/Wedding%20March%201950/WeddingMarch1950.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/Wedding%20March%201950/WeddingMarch1950.jpg" width="400"></a><br><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/Wedding%20March%201950/WeddingMarch1950_2.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/Wedding%20March%201950/WeddingMarch1950_2.jpg" width="400"></a><br><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/Wedding%20March%201950/WeddingMarch1950_3.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/Wedding%20March%201950/WeddingMarch1950_3.jpg" width="400"></a><br><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/Wedding%20March%201950/WeddingMarch1950_5.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/Wedding%20March%201950/WeddingMarch1950_5.jpg" width="400"></a><br><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/Wedding%20March%201950/WeddingMarch1950_6.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/Wedding%20March%201950/WeddingMarch1950_6.jpg" width="200"></a><br><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/Wedding%20March%201950/WeddingMarch1950_4.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/Wedding%20March%201950/WeddingMarch1950_4.jpg" width="400"></a><br>
