In other news, last night I got to do something pretty exciting. Check it out here .

I dig Ksubi Lookbooks #320

I love Ksubi lookbooks. Just like Suzanne Paul loves luminous spheres. Serious. 

Remember this one?

So good. I mean, the styling is not always my fav but the photographic concepts are always fun. Love.

That Indescribable New York Energy & Goodbye Washington #279

I'm off back to New Yawk tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited! It's a strange thing being away for New York. You get so fed up with it that you are like,"Screw it! I'm getting out of here". But as soon as you leave you crave that energy that is indescribable. You can feel it the minute you hit the city limits. It's like an invisible glow, everyone knows it exists but no-one can explain it. It's true, it really is a place like no other. As a farewell to Washington I give you some of the most historical things I've seen.

Hello Brooklyn #231

It's always really weird going out to Brooklyn (argh I sound like a Manhattan snob. F**k.). I've been here a while now and still don't know what to think of it. It kind of has a Wellington vibe. I'm trying to avoid using the word 'hipster' because it's often taken the wrong way, but it deffo does operate differently to Manhattan. Here's some photo's I took on the way home. Enjoy.

The Week Wrap - Life Plans, Ryan Gosling & Photography #213

No kidding this guy stood here for 45min. In this exact spot. For. Fourty. Five. Minutes. 

1. Quoting from an email I just sent my friend (don't judge me):

"I feel like I'm 40 and I need to do a Julia Roberts in Eat, Pray, Love"

2. Her reply:

"That movie was crap so don’t go all Julia Robert on us"

3. My reply: 

"You should be a spirit guide or something. You give good advice."

awaiting reply...

4. I went to a party for a tumbr blog dedicated to Ryan Gosling. It was creeps as hell, but fun. Read about it here. 

5. I watched a guy play golf in the street with milk cartons. He told me I was to call him Tiger Hood. He also thought I was Australian, and assumed I knew these guys called 'Hamish and Andy'. Read more about it here. Also an awesome person gave me the link to the 'Hamish and Andy' episode that this guy features in. See it here. (Thanks Lucy!)

6. I took some photos after work. I went all paparazzi on Chinatown/The Lower East Side. Check them out. 

7. I got the flu, which I am almost over. Thank goodness. It was 31 degrees today. Sweaty and the flu is not a good look.

8. Obsessed with this song. Give me some Frank Ocean lotion any day. 

9. I got caught in this thunderstorm. I got on a random bus not sure where it was going. Turns out it went almost to my apartment. Score.

Today in New York (Photo Edition) #207

People to Watch - Sarah Koyi Lai #165

This weeks people to watch is my friend and 'coffee Sunday co-pilot', Sarah Koyi Lai. She's a kiwi working in fashion here in New York. What's awesome about Sarah is that she has amazing style. I have, on countless occasions, found myself writhing in jealousy over what she's wearing (it's usually an ensemble that only those with a great figure could pull off). She also has a signature perm that's not easy to replicate, and everyone here in New York seems to notice. Sarah is one of those people that is constantly stopped by streetstyle photographers. Just yesterday we were walking along 14th Street and a man politely asked us (I say 'us' but I mean Sarah) for a photograph. Like a true professional Sarah kept a natural stroll as he took his pictures. The result? See below (I also included a few photos I took of Sarah at NYFW in February-enjoy!).

Sarah and I also had a bit of a chit-chat about her life, here's how it went down:

Photo Friday // Kate Moss Spotting & Street Art #140

The 'Kate Moss for Supreme' ad's are everywhere in New York and you kind of get used to it. I think they're amazing. As should you. I also found some more of that knitted street art down in Soho. I found out the artist is actually really well known. He's like the Banksy equivalent of the 'yarn' world. Word. 

Lower East Side Love Bomb #64

As a quick side note: Anyone who is in Dunedin this week can you please not get exceedingly drunk and harass any people over the age of 60. My grandparents are down there, and I love them dearly, and would like them to come back in one piece (well actually two but you know what I mean). Thanks you greatly.

Anyway...

There's always something strange just 'existing', on the street, down in the Lower East Side. I was walking back to my now upgraded accommodation (due to a slight mishap where I threatened to sue them. More on that tomorrow. Raaahh!) when I spotted this weird piece of art chained to a drain pipe. It made me smile. I can only come to the conclusion that it is a 'love bomb'. Any other suggestions would be welcomed. Just look at it! The Lower East Side always knows how to make me feel better. 

And I'm out.
Peace, Morgs

FASHION WEEK 'The Politically Correct Paparazzi' // BLOGGERS #29

Standing outside Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is beyond a dream. In some ways I'd prefer it to being inside. Nothing really compares to fashion week in New York. New Zealand Fashion Week is exciting and I love it; but New York Fashion Week is on a totally different level. Walking around outside NYFW I lost count of the street style bloggers at 35. We perhaps have 5 or 6 prominent street style bloggers in NZ who actively get out there and do their thang (no that's not a typo I just prefer it to 'thing'). However, being in New York it really makes you appreciate how much of a business street style blogging really is. Walking out of the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week hub is like walking into a pit of politically correct paparazzi, and anyone with an ounce style is fair game for a chase down. What's interesting to me is that most of the street style bloggers have more style than the people they're photographing (and I think most of them know that). It often turns into blogger photographing blogger. Someone should do a thesis on the psyche of 'the street style blogger'. It would be freakn hilarious.
I went behind the lens-of a lens-of a street style blogger (if that make sense). Enjoy my snapping frenzy. check below to see more pics
