Dear Reader, since my last post, a lot has happened, but, most importantly, I entered the worlds of post-college employment and investment management and consulting. I moved to Boston. I (very modernly and precisely) decorated my studio apartment on the Common. I put my Amex to work on red wine and a subscription to the Financial Times. I discovered restaurants in the South End, boutiques in Beacon Hill and pop-up downtown dance floors. I’ve also read the following fantastic articles.
- Breaking up is hard to do, especially when it’s with Pinot Noir.
- The meaning of “Humpty Dumpty” changes depending on what language you speak.
- Ferragamo has a new creative director.
- Italy is too Italian because it values geography and quality.
- Why pay for a fake when you can have the real thing?
- Lego perpetuates gender stereotypes more than Mad Men.
- Organic food costs a lot. Anyone who read my thesis should know that this doesn’t have to be the case.
- Does productivity affect happiness or vice versa? Which came first…
- In the world of fast fashion, there are some brands that endure.
- Surprise, poor people give more to charity.
- I finally saw the perfect suit on a woman in Starbucks the other day. I got my inspiration from a stranger.
- Runway shows aren’t the magical reality they used to be.
- Is W, now under the direction of Tonchi, going to be that one pop culture tome we all desire, right next to LOVE?
- I also got my inspiration from these international sartorialists/-istas.
- There’s a new intellectual property law for designers. The style side of me is thrilled, the innovative side of me is nervous.
