Audubon Anthem

(Scarf c/o Happy Scarf, Buffalo Exchange thrifted sweater, Zara shorts, Tom Ford sunglasses, House of Harlow necklace, MK watch, Lucky suede bag)

We don't really have seasons in Louisiana, so I'm still waiting for this cold winter I keep hearing about.  Until then the weather is warm enough to wear shorts and take advantage of the outdoors.  My bf and I enjoyed a relaxing, nostalgic afternoon at the Audubon Zoo, "and dey all ask'd for you.." (LOL a verse from a local song that everyone in New Orleans grew up singing, sort of the Audubon Anthem, hear it here.)  One of my favorite memories at this zoo as a kid is the Roman Taffy Cart - which is still so freaking good!  Here are a few of my favorite pics from the day:    

Thank you to my friends at HappyScarf.com for sending me this super cool scarf!  Love at first sight!  

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!  xx

UNIQLO Pop-Up

For new Fall fashions, "pop-up" retail shops are the hottest trend.  These small, temporary shops are bringing fashion and an urban edge to under-utilized and vacant spaces.  Pop-up stores are brief interludes, anywhere from a few months to a few days, that aim to help merchants generate buzz and excitement around new products or launches.  These instant shops let retailers and designers collaborate to test new concepts of market place.

The UNIQLO CUBES, by the young firm HWKN, celebrates the Japanese clothing brand's innovative yet classic apparel in smart jewel-like architectural packages.  "HWKN's designed cubes illuminate and enlighten neighborhoods with an in-depth look into UNIQLO's unique product quality.  The pop-up stores showcase UNIQLO by forming simple volumes with high-tech surfaces cladding their gridded surface.  Once the cube is plopped into location, a section of the form slides open like a vault, inviting people to come visit, try on clothes, and purchase the treasures that lay inside.  At night all cubes glow in the dark and mark their presence.  UNIQLO's brand presence emerges from the powerful simplicity of the form, to the glowing facades, all the way down to the details;  unfolding the highest material and manufacturing quality."
