Yesterday, the amazingly amazing human being who goes by the name Max surprised me with the most perfect birthday gift of my life....no but like actually, EVER.
The beautiful 5.7 inch heels from TopShop have been the Romeo in my life for the past month or so. I can't find a picture of them on the TopShop website but I will promptly take a photo and upload it as soon as I can.
I thought that was the end of the excitement for the day (even though the excitement of getting those shoes will last me a lifetime) but NO, he finds a way to make it more amazing. Here is the lovely story:
Thinking that we were going to an art gallery opening in the Meatpacking District, I threw on some leggings and a top, secured my feet into my new heavenly posessions, and strutted my stuff down to the car. Finally in the area, I started waddling my way through the rocky grounds of 13th street. We were heading towards a really cool looking restaurant but I took little notice of it until Max started walking towards it, opening the door and going inside.
BAM. 7 of my friends stood inside of the restaurant. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! they said.
It was truly just a wonderful surprise.
I am so grateful to have such wonderful friends. Thank you for everything.
I love you guys.
and as for you Mr.MM, I need to find a perfect way to make it up to you.
I've said it maybe 100 times since last night but THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU

Friends, Romans, Countrymen
Lend me your ears. (this was the mass text i sent out for thanksgiving today, with a witty additive about giving thanks etc.)
Today I watched a wonderful documentary about our Earth called "Home."
Why is this relevant to your fashion blog donia?.. you might so ask.
Well, the majority of the sponsors of the documentary were fashion houses. There were such big names as YSL, Gucci, and Alexander McQueen.
It makes me wonder... How much research do these houses actually do about their impact on the environment? Is it all a show or is there genuine concern?
I'll do some research and let you know.
IN OTHER NEWS.
I finally wore my Dolce Vita over-the-knee boots! My mother said I looked like quite the mademoiselle today. Appreciation.

MODEL MANIA
for those of you who haven't figured it out yet...
i am OBSESSED with models.
Here's a really quirky article from New York Magazine's "The Cut":
Check it out.
Those models are, of course, the Victoria's Secret Angels (noticeably absent this year was Adriana Lima who just gave birth last week).
Heidi Klum pulled herself together and strutted her stuff on the runway 3 WEEKS after giving birth. WORK IT HEIDI!

Its a Cinch.
Faithful followers, my absence is inexcusable but I come with goods. and news.
Yesterday I had an interview with Marie Claire Magazine (AAA SO EXCITING) for a fashion internship in the Winter (december through january). Unfortunately, since the internship would overlap with a few school days, I would not be able to commit 5 full days to the job, which is what was being asked. I am so happy I got to have that experience though and I'm definitely going to keep looking for more amazing opportunities like this!
However, this experience brought something very important to my attention:
I do not have enough belts.
so I looked and looked and looked online and found this wonderful compilation of photos of how this essential accessory can be used.
It is from NY MAG (which i am an addict of): ENJOY

from Super Model to Super Normal
Australian Super Model Gemma Ward has quit modeling, claim several Australian news reports.
After weight gain got bloggers and journalists buzzing about the future of the 22 year old vixen, her modeling agency (IMG) issued a statement saying that she has no plans to return to modeling anytime soon.
Gemma's dominance on the catwalk has been less evident this past year. This is said to be due to the death of her rumored ex-boyfriend Heath Ledger, claims the Strait Times.
Below are two photos of Gemma, before and after her weight gain.
She looks healthy to me! Do what you need to do girl, you're beautiful anyway!
