we want some more.

MARA HOFFMAN CUT OUT JUMPER

First off...
A year has passed since my post last year at the gala with team Moremag. Life has gone on and we have all been forced to go on our separate journeys, but still our bond remains. I feel deeply that the passion that we shared creating the most magnificent magazine that we could while being in an intense environment, is something that ties a group together. More magazine was something special, it's missed and I feel so proud of being part of an award winning team. 

Also...
looking back on the post I made last year, it seems like this is the appropriate year mark to reflect since it has been two years since I walked at NU graduation, packed up all my stuff and moved to nyc. I looked back last year on obstacles that were important to me at the time, and i've been faced with sets of new ones throughout this past year as well, but all of these are just that- in the past. I've also grown to realize that graduating in a sense was a form of rebirth to an extent that I would have never expected or imagined.

On a smaller note...
I was blessed to spend my gala night with all the friends I have met through s.p.d. this past year in the industry who share the same passions for print as I do.

INVENTORY

Once upon a time there was a girl who thought clothes to be pieces of artwork carefully crafted into shapes that wrapped around the body and brought beauty to everyday life. She collected these clothes carefully to keep, her bag of tricks and trinkets into two closets in her home on the island of Manhattan. Until one day, she had to simplify and found an incredible home in the faraway land of Brooklyn that was perfect in every way except her clothes poured out like rivers of fabric from the single closet in her room.

Please help this girl find a new home for her beloved clothes.

My sister is four years my senior. When we were growing up, I wanted to be her and wanted to run as far as possible from her at the same time. Now that we're older and i've been in this world for some time I realize that she's actually the best friend I will ever have. She inspires me constantly and I hope that I do the same.

This picture was taken by her in my family home, and I can't wrap my head around how special it feels. Truthful, raw.

I'm working on building my room this month like i've done so many times here in n.y.c. and this time I can feel i'm home. It's like all the newness in my life is weaving together to form something beautiful. It's like all the people in my life are as close or far away as they are supposed to be at this point in time. I've had a lot of time to reflect on this during long subway rides. #commutecatalog

maybe i'll make that a weekly thang.
