A few months ago I had the pleasure of working with the talented photographer, Kevin Mayer (Get at Kevin on his tumblr and Instagram @kevmayer) with the rad Miss Kl team for a blog post. Just one of the many little pleasures I’ve come across during my time here in Boston.This place has some what left a bitter sweet taste in my mouth as of late. I mean, I’ve only been here for a measly 9 months, however the things I have experienced during that time have been priceless. I got to meet some pretty rad people, and fell for a guy I didn’t think even existed. Yup. This year has certainly been a big one for me, and the changes just keep coming. As I sit here in my apartment, depressed about what’s currently going on, and anxious to see what happens in the months to come, I find myself day dreaming of my life back home in California. Sorry for being an uber bummer. This year just wasn’t what I expected.

Ok. I totally suck at this whole personal blog thing. What do you expect? It’s not my fault I have a full time job and freelance like crazy, not to mention find it necessary to have a “LIFE.” Sheesh! I feel like this is something I always comment about through out the entire blog, but whatever. I might as well change the name of the blog to “Dang. I don’t really blog as much as a I should, so I’ll just keep writing about it and not do anything about it.” Waaahhh! Blah Blah Blah! Anywho – Happy 420!  I don’t smoke, but I hope you enjoy your day. BYE.

p.s. Big thanks to Dimepiece for the lovely goodies they sent for my Coachella adventures! I am LIVING in this shat.

 Miss KL just launched our latest spring lookbook, Leader of the Pack, which pays homage to Karmaloop’ streetwear roots. The lookbook perfectly  showcases a juxtaposition of tom-boy silhouettes and feminine prints. Brands that are featured include Jeffrey Campbell, UNIF, Crooks & Castles, and several other of my favorites. Check out the full lookbook on Miss KL!

It’s been 4 long months since I first moved to Boston, and only a few days since I came back from Cali for Christmas break. The break was far too short. It seems as though returning to California just made me realize everything I’m lacking here in beantown; Family, friends (outside of work), and weather that doesn’t make me cringe at the sight of my IPhone’s weather app.  I’m being depressing…I know, however this is just the itch I’ve been feeling that’s in dire need of being scratched. After being super psyched about this change in the beginning, and super ready to leave everything behind, I’m now dreaming about the next time I can fly back home to see my family and friends again. Now before your assumption is that I’m unhappy with work – you’re totally wrong. I love my job…It’s not that. It’s more so the fact that I can’t just call up my friends whenever I’m bored, or bug my mom all the time when I feel like it. Self-Newsflash: I’m 3,000 miles away. I miss California.

Anywho – before I get way too depressingly emotional, just wanted to say Happy New Year! You can find me watching Full House all night.

Do you know what could possibly turn a regular day at work into the best day in a 23 year old’s life (not to mention a possible turning point in an otherwise boring dating life)? Hmm…MAYBE getting a text message from 5 people telling you that you made Complex Magazine’s  list of “10 Hottest Girls In Streetwear!” Yup. That MIGHT do it..and it totally happened. Hopefully I don’t seem completely vain about posting about this historic moment in my life, but this sort of thing just does NOT happen to me. I’ve gone my entire life being just “Brittany”, and never once been referred to as “HOT”, so you can imagine my surprise when I actually was present on the list. Ok – I’ll stop being completely vain with this post, because the main point is the fact that the story was repping Miss KL HARD.

One thing I happened to love about this particular story was the fact that 3 out of the 10 came from the trail-blazing streetwear brand, Hellz Bellz, which obviously proves that the women’s brand is clearly breeding some awesome ladies. The fact that Complex is noticing really gives me warm fuzzies, and makes me all excited. I really cherish the time I spent working for Hellz, and am now super duper excited about my new adventure here at Miss KL. Big things are happening at Miss KL…can you smell it?

My roommate Justine and I are so cute…we do things like decorate our apartment for every holiday, and head out to the most touristy parts of Massachusetts. She’s the alternative to having a boyfriend I guess, minus all the drama and annoying texting that is seemingly necessary when you date someone. Today we headed over to Cambridge where the tourist apparently flocked to, and we got our creepy boy-watching on. Now knowing that there’s not REALLY a babe drought in Boston makes me feel THAT much better about leaving the apartment. Very slowly is Boston starting to prove itself to me. I can honestly say I was mildly disappointed at first with Boston, however I see a bleak strand of light shining my way. But…I still miss California.
