awww I JUST saw this comment for some reason, I feel so bad I didn’t respond earlier- THANK YOU! i am so glad you like what you see and happy to have you reading! xx
just found your blog after looking up some of Denis’ work to show off to my friends… (also my colorist, who I absolutely adore because he really is as awesome as you’ve described) anyway, you make me want to blog too! I read a bunch of your posts and never got bored! A-Mazing. Go Alina!
awww no comment could have made me happier than this!! What a treat– thank you so so much!!!! I adore anybody who appreciates Denis’s talent ; ) Thank you again!!! xx
“deep respect for intellectual values?!” are you a sacred heart schools grad? props for repping goal #2 from a fellow (albeit californian) shs alumna.
HAHAHA YES I AM!!!!!!!!!!! OMG THAT’S HILARIOUS/AMAZING THAT YOU KNOW THAT!! YESSSS YAYY FOR SACRED HEART GRADS!!
haha yes I totally won the goal 2 award in 6th grade- best moment of my life. All downhill since then haha : )
LOVE your blog. sending xo’s from venice, california.
aww thank you that makes me SIGHHHH!!! So dreamily. I want to live in Venice!! I couldn’t dream of a better place to get xo’s from : ) back at you even though DC doesn’t compare.
ah, i still love it. i used to live there.
hah yeah I love it too but I worship the sun and a palm tree, so concrete government buildings and the potomac river could never truly rival Palms and the Pacific : ) but DC’s of course such a beautiful city which I feel sentimental for every time I drive across one of the bridges where you can see The Kennedy Center and the monuments and Georgetown all at once and it’s so picturesque and clean and impressive. If only Venice and DC could be next to one another then I’d have it all, but alas, they couldn’t be any further apart!
I live in CA and would love to move to DC!
Pretty picture.
well we can just trade places then! : ) And thank you!
You might be my new favorite blogger, and I think we would be best friends! haha Im also sure a lot of other creepy/weird/annoying girls think they’d be your best friend too, but hey, worht a shot! I love that you’re from DC though since I’m only about 10 minutes away in VA. It’s also cool that you’re a Dartmouth grad. My brother was a ’10! I’m so glad my friend Max (he’s obsessed with DC and stumbled across your apartment therapy article and thought I would enjoy it. He was right. I guess that means he’s a pretty decent friend.) introduced me to you and your blog. I can’t wait to read more, because I think we are style soul mates
ugh.. wish I had thought to put a space in between that smiley..lookin dumb
