Silver and Cold

I know this is old news as it appeared in the S/S 09 issue of AnOther Magazine (so says Diane), but Tilda in Sandra Backlund is rather perfect, don't you think? I definitely wish I had a knit dress right about now, as it's really quite cold out (and all my favorite clothes are hanging to dry as we speak). I even watched the fireplace channel for the better part of this laundry day and am still chilled to the bone. Funny how you can't quite trick yourself into feeling warm. Let's hope my crackling wood wick candle can do the trick...

Oh Tilda

The past few weeks, I've been toying with the idea of going on a trip by myself, as my man is in school and likely can't go anywhere with me. My job affords me a ridiculous amount of paid vacation, and so I'm thinking I should go somewhere for a week, possibly somewhere while a fashion week is going on. You know, just in case I can score an in somewhere. So I've been researching a trip to New York City, although there aren't really any designers I'd want to get in to see at fashion week. But, aside from the plethora of museums I would gladly spend hours in, not to mention Central Park, I'd love to get into are a couple of events during The New Yorker festival, which is held in October. Last year, one of the talks was with Tilda Swinton. I just know I would be quite enraptured if I could be in the same room as her. Really, if the whole being Björk's personal designer thing doesn't work out, creating one piece for Tilda to wear would be quite a thrill. I love this gorgeous video that she did with Pringle of Scotland (who I must admit I hadn't heard of before this video). Sigh.
