Tonight is the Glamour Women of the Year Awards, held annually at Carnegie Hall, just a few blocks from my apartment. I’ve attended nearly every year since I moved to New York, and I have two tickets for tonight, but I’m still in Boston, so I won’t be able to make it.
That said, I’m sending my angel emissaries, Jordan & Megan, in my stead. Look for their coverage tomorrow on Jordan’s lifecast!
Last year at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards, with my date, Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Philippe Reines.
(And yes, I believe he’s imitating my infamous hand-on-hip pose.)
I did a fun fall photoshoot with a talented young photographer (and Harvard senior) Ekaterina Botchkina in Boston Common Sunday afternoon, and, to get into the spirit of all things Boston, I dressed like a preppy schoolgirl. Of course. ;)
Trying out the pigtails look. Not sure if it worked.
In the photo, my opaque knit thigh-highs and the platform ankle boots look a bit like the very “on-trend” (as Mary would say) over-the-knee quasi-hooker boots everyone’s sporting this fall. To that end, I do intend to purchase a pair, but the question is: which ones? Any suggestions??
Walking along the Boston street where CD lives.
Schoolgirl Photoshoot Head to Toe:
- Headband, J. Crew
- Pearl earrings, from my mom
- Gray striped tie, Zara? or … I have no idea. Not expensive, though
- Overcoat, borrowed from college roommate
- Schoolboy jacket, Club Monaco
- Schoolgirl skirt, Nordstrom, bought in 1995. No shit.
- Knit thigh-highs, I have no idea
- Platform boots, Topshop in London
We ate at 75 Chestnut, on Charles Street, which is undeniably, unabashedly charming. Although, frankly, everything in Boston is undeniably, unabashedly charming.
Sunday night in Boston after the photoshoot, with my college roommate CD, who graciously let me crash at her place while she was in Prague.
Watching Taylor Swift perform on SNL tonight
We just watched The Proposal on their new teevs - and it was actually, shockingly decent. Not life-changing, not Oscar-winning, but a solid romcom.
Saturday night with Miss Allie at her condo (which she shares with Britt now that they’re engaged)
With Britt n Allie tonight after our early dinner in Cambridge.
At Rendezvous tonight with Britt n Allie!
