DOG DAYS ARE OVER

This weekend I took a brief trip back to my hometown Argyle, in Manitoba, Canada. A very different landscape from my current Upper East Side neighborhood in NYC, visiting my friends, family, and dogs back in Argyle is always bittersweet! I loved seeing everyone but I'm back in the city now, ready for my first full summer in New York! Here are some photos from my trip back home:

My house back in Argyle. We live on 160 acres of forest, quite different from my home here in New York!

The treehouse my dad built us when we were little. So many great memories here!

I always love coming home to my dogs! Miley left and Deke on the right.

This is Tay - he is very photogenic.

PHYSICAL GRAFFITI: 1970s NOW

I've been so excited to share this project with you guys! I developed, styled, and directed a creative fashion video for one of my classes

with the help of my boyfriend Clay (cinematography and editing), and my friends Claudia Rummel (cinematography) and Kelsey Panicco

(model). Named after Led Zeppelin's 1975 studio album, Physical Graffiti is an editorial video for a fictional trend consulting agency

that highlights the current influx on 1970s style. Watch the video and please share your thoughts!

(Intro song "Saint John" by Cold War Kids, main song "Light of the Morning" by Band of Skulls)

I hope to collaborate on a project like this again in the future. And let's chat about my

amazing model-friend Kels, isn't she spectacular!? See some still shots I took at the shoot below.

Thanks again to Clay, Claudia, and Kelsey for helping me with this project! I'm so happy with the final result, and really loved

the entire creative and directorial process. Perhaps I have a future in fashion and film? No limits! xo Nia

KATE MOSS + VOGUE PARIS MAY 2011

I'm obsessing over this editorial of Kate Moss for Vogue Paris (May 2011), shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

We had the iridescent Margiela skirt (picture 2) in at ELLE while I was still interning there - such an amazing amazing piece!
