A Self Imposed Facebook Moratorium

“My parents should have warned me about the consequences of casual facebook friending…” Stranger! One day you wakeup in the bed with forced birthday messages from people you don’t even know.

Not sure if my wish will come true, but I’m trying to figure out what I’m wearing to Elle Fashion Week that starts tomorrow. Hard to forget how everyone was circulating this Black Ivy video from Unabashedly Prep and Street Etiquette a few weeks ago. I dig it, but still like to refer to it [...]
