joelle van dyne: many moons →
yesterday marked the demise of the disco ball manicure that i posted last friday. why? because mimi and i finally decided to try a calgel manicure. we’ve been thinking about it ever since our trip to LA, where we hung out with the beauteous blogger behind ‘stop it right now’. she had the BEST half-moon manicure, which, as it turns out, was calgel- an organic polish that gets painted onto your...

noel vallens: thundersnow
sorry for all of the indoors pictures these days, but after having our 6th snowstorm in 30 days, it’s a bit of a mess outside. the one redeeming thing about all of the snow, was the other night it was actually thunder and lightning with crazy amount of snow coming down. we thought we cleverly termed it ‘thundersnow’, but after googling it…it turns out to be an actual...

joelle van dyne: operation proenzafication: part 2 →
so, i said on monday that i was going to do a full week of outfits based on these new looks from proenza schouler (you can see part 1 of this post here):
but when i said that, i didn’t really think ahead. as it turns out, i don’t have enough patterned items in my closet for even 2 posts. i did try; but, let me be frank. i hate today’s outfit. i hate everything about it. it started out...

noel vallens: hey, lucky lady
happy monday, everyone. today’s post is quick - sorry for skipping on friday, but it was snowy out and I decided to work from home so staying indoors seemed like the best decision for the day.
the outfit here is a mishmash of things that i’ve been wanting to wear from my closet and they all seemed to want to be worn together. the jacket is the fortunate/unfortunate hand-me-down of...

joelle van dyne: california i'm coming home →
i’m back from LA, at work, in grey, snowy nyc. this morning is a rude awakening after my weekend in california. it was above 80 degrees every day, so i was wearing things like this:
that’s right, a halter top. in january.
remind me, again, why i don’t live in LA?
this jacket is pretty much for show. i brought it along in case i got chilly, but didn’t need it once!
i knew...

noel vallens: interlude
hey guys! it is a big wet mess outside, and i wanted nothing more than to stay home, but since i haven’t really left the house in 24 hours i thought i’d venture into work today.
this weekend, i started panicking a little about upcoming fashion week (so excited! we’re in the tumblr 20!) and throwing things around my room trying to pull together 1 outfit, not even considering...

noel vallens: pure as new york snow
last night we had a ton of snow - only to wake up to a winter wonderland all over again. since i missed the first snowstorm because i was out of town, this makes me so very happy.
and it was perfect timing because my new snow boots just arrived last night. after much fretting over which shoes, i decided to go with a vintage pair of eddie bauer boots. very similar to the ll bean maine...
joelle van dyne: (sub)urban fervor →
happy monday everyone. as promised a couple of weeks ago, i have one of my ohio consignment shopping finds to share with you today! i was up late last night working on my new website - joellevandyne.com - so yes, just this once, i’m going to make you go there to see it.
i’ll still be posting my outfit photos here as usual, and then will reblog them to my own site. there, i’m...
noel vallens: bundled
after arriving back in new york just after the blizzard when the roads and sidewalks were still not clear, i realized my regular boots aren’t really working out as snow and ice boots. today i decided to break out these leather over-the-knee riding boots, so we’ll see how they hold up, but i’m still on the hunt for a more weather-resistant boot.
i’ve narrowed down my...

joelle van dyne: 2011
happy 2011 everyone! hope you all had a super fun new years eve. mine was pretty great. and by great i mean it ended on my sofa, with cozy pajamas, gummy candies, and a can of pringles- just the way i like it.
even though i like to ring in the new year in the most geriatric way possible, that doesn’t stop me from dressing up during my waking hours. i’ve been meaning to wear my...
