Mini Moments {+ a Thank You}


Diane von Furstenberg's eclectically cool office.

When I first started Cheetah is the New Black, never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that 3 years later I would find myself sitting in Diane von Furstenberg's office asking her what she was like at my age. Besides the inspiring community and friends I've made, I have had some amazing opportunities and unforgettable experiences as well. This week it all really sank in, and I am forever grateful for your continued support. If anything, I hope to encourage you to follow your passions because you never know where they will take you.

"Possibilities are endless!" ~ Diane von Furstenberg


Diane's amazing lip couch.


I wish I had time to browse her library... I would love to know what she's reading.


The carousel in DUMBO, Brooklyn.


An afternoon sweet treat (chocolate and violet macarons from Laudrée).


Coffee shop lighting that is right up my alley.



And the September Issues are in!

I love that no matter how many opportunities you've attained through CITNB you're still such an approachable blogger. I think it's great when big bloggers take the time out to answer and thank readers questions - and I've noticed you do that all the time. Wishing you much more success and hoping that one day I'll be right there with you chatting up DVF! xo

Alicia Lund said...
