from the concrete jungle to the great outdoors.

One week ago, I moved home from New York. I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to have worked for a publication such as Bazaar. This week the September issue hit the stands. I am proud to have worked on such a beautiful book! It is the largest issue of Harper's Bazaar ever! The gorgeous, Sarah Jessica Parker graces the cover while we have Miley decked out in amazing couture on the inside. There is more work that goes into this book than you could imagine and I think it shows. This really is a stunning issue. Congrats on the biggest issue every Bazaar, you know how to get it done! I learned more than I could have imagined and was able to work with and get to know countless talented, creative people.

Moving to New York and working for Harper's Bazaar was definitely one kind of adventure. But tomorrow, I set off on a very different kind of adventure. My Dad and I are flying to Fairbanks, Alaska tomorrow morning and from there taking two float planes to get to the Noatak River. We (along with four others and two guides) are being dropped off two hundred and fifty miles from the nearest road, completely out of civilization with our camping gear and our stand up paddle boards. We will be paddling the Noatak and camping for ten days. I have never been to Alaska before and can't wait to see all the amazing sights it has to offer. Not to worry, my camera equipment is all packed up and there will be plenty of pictures to come once I am back.
