I love nothing more than passing this building. Every single time I pass it, I just feel so inspired. I've walked by it time after time and just never found the time to pull out my camera - Partially because I was stuck in awe, and also because I just felt that photos would not be able to capture it's genuine beauty. This building has so much history, so feel free to Google it and do some research. It is a haven for our contemporary street artists, as it is a legendary memorial for some of our past icons of the art world such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. The man who lives here is a true freedom of the arts advocate and I admire him so much for it.

Last 2 were shot by Wables Photography @ the Yours Truly Brand Dubstep Dinner Party.

Shockingly, over the past few weeks, I've been anxiously anticipating the beginning of the fall season. Things are just always better for me during this transitional season. Although I'm not a fan of the cold weather, everything just seems much more exciting. This post was a retrospective (and pretty random) look at this past summer, which was absolutely amazing, might I add. I was aiming to post photos that I hadn't posted yet - Some taken by me and some taken by others (wherever there is credit given/posted). Check out the sites of the credited photographers posted throughout this post, and all throughout this blog while you're at it. Even though 99% of the pictures on this blog are shot by me, and I don't consider myself a "photographer", I like to give my readers a little insight through the eyes of other creative individuals that I'm lucky enough to interact with, as well.

Anyways, over the past few days, a lot has happened. School started up again this past week and I thoroughly enjoy my classes, plus my schedule is so light! Since I like to party and hang out all throughout the fall, I thought it would be smart to go easy on the times of my classes so I don't end up oversleeping and screwing things up for myself. The earliest I go in is 10:20 am and the latest I get out is 2:50 pm. I'm taking Ancient Art History, the Science of Nutrition and African, Native American and Oceanic Art. They all seem extremely interesting and my professors seem pretty awesome so far. Aside from school, life has been wonderful. I don't think I've ever appreciated my loved ones more than I do right now. I have a loving boyfriend and some of the most amazing and beautiful friends I've ever had in my entire life, on top of a magnificent family (but that has never changed). This past week has really opened my eyes to how wonderful my life really is. Specifically the past two nights, the amount of fun I had is too much for words. Once the photographers post the photos, since I didn't take any of my own, I'll be sure to post them on here. I am truly lucky. I hope you all can say the same and are ready for what this fall season has to offer.

Also, on the eve of the anniversary of the tragedies of September 11th, 2001,
I would just like to remind those of the lives that were lost
and the devastation that hit our beloved New York City on that day.
RIP and never forget.

Thanks for reading, darlings.
Stay lovely.
