GLSEN RESPECT AWARDS

Mr. Sykes and I had the honor of attending the GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network) RESPECT AWARDS last week. GLSEN is the leading national organization focused on ensuring a safe environment for all students. Their vision is a world in which every child learns to respect all people regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.

Our friends Matt Bomer and Simon Halls were being honored with the 2012 Inspiration Award, along with Marilyn & Jeffrey Katzenberg (2012 Lifetime Achievement Award), Bob & Harvey Weinstein (2012 Chairman's Award) and Luis Veloz who received the Student Advocate of the Year Award.

We met so many amazing kids who have been helped by GLSEN and in turn are working to help and support children across the country. We also met kids who were simply inspired by the work GLSEN does and galvanized their schools and communities to create anti intolerance groups. Honestly, I have never been surrounded by a more impressive group of teenagers-truly an inspiration.

INSTAGRAM SEPTEMBER

LEATHERED

Mr. Sykes snapped these as we were on our way out to dinner the other night. We were fighting the light, but I wanted to share this amazing leather skirt from ASOS with you guys. I.Love.It.

Sure I had to walk very slowly, since there isn't much leg room in the skirt and forget dropping anything on the floor, because there is zero bending in this piece. But who cares about all that? As long as it looks great, right! I know, I'm ridiculous!!

The necklace was a sweet find on Etsy and the black leather cuff is a treasured gift from my agent Joe.

OFF THE WALL

 

Whilst still in New York, I passed this amazing wall art in Soho late one night after dinner and was obsessed with photographing it for about a week.

We ended up taking the pictures on an insanely sweltering day and at one point I thought Mr. Sykes might have to peel me off the pavement. I'm not kidding, it was no joke man!

PS. I love this outfit!
PPS. The shorts are super comfy.
PPS. The button up blouse in over 90 degree heat-not so much.

Blouse: TopShop. Shorts: BCBG Maxazria. Shoes: Kurt Geiger.
Bag: Proenza Schouler. Sunglasses: Stella McCartney (similar here).

HEAD CASE

 

 

 

I came across this fun shoot on Fashion Gone Rogue, by photographer Elle Muliarchyk for the latest issue of Dossier. I'm so impressed with model Hartje Andresen, she makes standing on her head look so easy and well, stylish. That's what I call a Yogi.
