Must see in NYC: Thierry Cohen

Ever imagined what the night sky over NYC could look like without pollution? Last weekend we took a trip to Chelsea to check out this incredible exhibition by Parisian photographer Thierry Cohen. The pictures were so awe-inspiring and beautiful that I just had to share! Here's what the gallery had to say...

"Cohen seeks out views that resonate for him and notes the precise time, angle, and latitude and longitude of his exposure. As the world rotates around its axis the stars that would have been visible above a particular city move to deserts, plains, and other places free of light pollution. By noting the precise latitude and angle of his cityscape, Cohen is able to track the earth’s rotation to places of atmospheric clarity like the Mojave, the Sahara, and the Atacama desert. There he sets up his camera to record what is lost to modern urban dwellers." 

By producing composites of 2 images you can see what we're really missing! The exhibition is at the Danzier Gallery until May 4th, and I highly recommend you stopping by if you're in the area.

Why so serious?

Here's a little tongue in cheek post to brighten a boring weekday! As I'm sure most other bloggers, I seem to accumulate a lot of photos I never use... most of them are pretty silly, I seem to pull a lot of strange, crazy faces! Here are a few I stumbled across while clearing out my laptop, so I thought I'd share... :-)

Best of British

Vest: Levis; Skirt: Madewell (also worn here); Sweater: American Apparel (also worn here); Scarf: Alexander McQueen; Hat: Hermes; Bag: Moschino

 This weekend, after feeling a little nostalgic for some 'Britishness' in life, we took a trip to the Big British Event in Soho. It was a blast! Free cocktails, afternoon tea provided by the Sanderson hotel, Scottish chowder, Welsh cheese, nail art by Wah nails and some Liberty goodness (seriously missed this store!). The event was hosted by British Airways and even had a makeshift first class lounge! I'm always one to sing the praises of my homeland and this was such a great way for the tourist bureau to promote the UK here in NYC. What a success!

Trench and boots: Topshop, Sweater: J.Crew, Necklace: Baublebar, Skirt: Cos

I never get tired of trench coats. This is actually the only one I've ever owned (worn before here), and I've never found another I like more (OK, not counting all those non-budget-friendly Burberry ones). Still, its definitely one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe. I'm thinking this Trench book should be a new addition to my coffee table, and maybe this navy trench as an alternative color option?
What's the most versatile piece in your closet?
