Right around the time I was trying to deal with my grammy being sick, Alison Griffin from Domino magazine presented me with an amazing opportunity. The magazine wanted to photograph me for a feature called "Outfit to Room", in which they would design a room inspired by my personal style. How cool! Of course I agreed, and the next week was filled to the brim with preparations....picking out photo shoot locations, accommodations, outfits, etc. (Um, and exercising so I would fit into the samples.) I got to look through fall look books for some of my favorite brands including A.P.C., Rachel Comey, United Bamboo, Built By Wendy, Steven Alan, Opening Ceremony, Mociun, Isabel Marant, and Phillip Lim. Sweet! In the end, both of the outfits I modeled featured gingham (surprise surprise).The Domino team (five people total) flew into Kansas City last weekend. I tried on outfits for Alison and Emily on Thursday night, and then we drove around town taking photos all day Friday. The weather was horrible--all cold and gloomy, but it was so much fun anyway. Everyone was so nice and funny, and a good sense of humor always puts me at ease. I'm really quite excited to see what Tom does with the room. I love the idea of designing a room based on a cool outfit. Apparently the feature will either be in the August or October issue, depending on when they're finished. I can hardly wait!

This sounds like *so* much fun. Granted, I think I'd be nervewracked the whole time that spaces relating to my look would be utterly boring...
Ack! How exciting Jenny! You are the absolutely perfect candidate for something like this --I'll bet you looked great. Can't wait to see the room that they do to compliment your look. :)
Oh for goodness sakes you are the PERFECT girl for this. Absolutely perfect. I will definitely be keeping my subscription now.
I was just going to say HOLY CRAP, but Erin beat me to it!

i'm so excited about the domino feature! you have such wonderful style. my sister and some friends and i were all discussing outfit-to-room features recently and we decided that i was the only one in the group who dresses almost exactly like how my house looks. do you think the room will look like something from your house?
how fun!!!!!
