We had the time of our lives. Highlights…
…Lula’s vegan ice cream shop near our apartment in the lower east side
…Drinking on the roof
…Meeting Gala Darling and her sweet husband
…Shareen Vintage off 5th Avenue
…Roaming with my husband
…Brunch at Bad Burger (I got cornflake-crusted french toast)
…Long nights spent up talking
…”Wine Product” that I bought at the corner mart. Sorry again about that, guys.
…Meeting up with author Chris Guillebeau in Central Park
…Running to the gym
…MCA memorials everywhere
…Loud pigeon roosted outside our window, and sparrows living in the wall somehow?

We brought home sunglasses with apple-shaped frames and mint green slip-on tennies for Alice.

new favorites for the wardrobe rack

Posted on 22. May, 2012 by Princess Lasertron.

I got a new, silver, sturdy clothing rack for our bedroom that Dave and I share to store our clothes for each season. About every eight weeks, we go into our big closet and pick new things to put on the rack for rotation. It helps me find things that go together to create easy outfits, but keeps me from getting bored.

Today I ironed these bad girls out and added them to the collection. I got them from Shareen Vintage in NYC, a diamond of a store that Gala Darling took Kat and I to a few weeks ago when we were in town. The price was right, but the amazing employees made it unforgettable. I can’t wait to take my partner Sarah there when we go for market this Fall!

1: Striped cotton dress with pockets and button back. I love the neckline and red lining on this, and the length is perfect.

2: Yellow cotton tennis romper with pockets. It looks like a shift dress, but there are shorts under there! I love the buttons down the front, too.

what’s in my bag: travel essentials

Posted on 03. May, 2012 by Princess Lasertron.

Today I’m jumping on a plane with my sweetheart and heading to New York City for a week! I’ll be doing a little work there, having meetings with some great independent designers, and connecting with other female entrepreneurs and investors I’ve been wanting to meet for ages.

My friend Kat Williams of Rock N Roll Bride is the one who initially urged me to go as she’ll be in town for some work as well, so this’ll be our time to reconnect, share stories, and hit the town! I’m going to take her to gothic dance clubs.

So I tend to travel light on a plane–compared to how I normally travel, anyway. I hate carry-ons on planes and I hate it when everyone’s clogging up the line trying to fit their three enormous bags into the overheads and bonking everyone in the process. My mentor and German professor Sybille Bartels always said being polite was taking up little room with your person and little room with your voice, especially in crowded areas. Anyway, I feel like I went on about that quirk for way too long.

So here’s what I’m bringing on the plane. A bag that slides easily under the seat, a stylish but fold-able cape/jacket, an iPad with a keyboard to do some work, and a few personal essentials. My favorite is the striped Slim Sonic toothbrush from Violight–they’ve got tons of cute patterns and I’m sort of obsessed with their whole range right now (I keep one at work too).

Clockwise from top: Cape jacket; Lolita Lempicka travel-sized perfume, Maybelline lip balm, Lancome Hypnose mascara; Reusable bags (these are great for when you just need a sack to carry some stuff in temporarily); Violight Slim Sonic toothbrush; Bumble and Bumble Straight travel pack; iPad and keyboard; Solar iPhone charger; Touchscreen-friendly gloves; Leather and Canvas bag.

You can check out more details about this set on Polyvore. Bon Voyage and I’ll be blogging from the big apple!

baby on a plane: the last of the photos from phoenix

Posted on 26. Jan, 2012 by Princess Lasertron.

Last week, Dave, Alice, and I went to Phoenix to stay for a week with my grandpa and his wife and take a little break.
We didn’t do a ton of sightseeing.
We didn’t do much shopping.
We did a lot of eating, visiting family, and relaxing.
(And we spent some time in traffic.)
Here are a few pictures from the plane and a few more from our stay in Phoenix.

We hope to go back to Phoenix next year and check out the vintage shops that I heard so much about. It was a beautiful trip and we loved the city.
See all photos on Daily Alice.
