manhattan

by Rachel Lynch in , , ,


The hotel above and the street below. Apartment filled with the ghosts of the friends we used to know. In and out, going on and on. Stranded and strange right in the center of it.

Losing my touch, out of time. Hide from who you can. In this world, I found out that love leaves. Yes, I once had a great love. A big love. But I shook it from my hair, just like everything else. You say you've got nothing to hide, you and your secret life.

You've got your secret on. Wanting to live all the time, and then slip right out of it.

Don't look at the moon tonight, you can never be manhattan.

I HATE BLONDE X NYLON TV

by Rachel Lynch in


Hey babes! Stoked to let you all know that last week I made a super silly video with NYLON TV, you can check it here. I hope it makes you laugh, or whatever! Anyways.. sorry I haven't been posting much. I'm in LA living in a hippie oasis in Silverlake, sleeping on the floor in a sun-drenched guest house, and waking up to coffee outside in a beautiful backyard. I needed a break from the craziness that is New York City living. I'm so excited to be in LA for another week, making magic and working with amazing brands. My job is pretty much the best job in the world, and I am so grateful.

BRITISH BOMBSHELL

by Rachel Lynch in , , ,


I'm working on a cocktail called "grounds for divorce." Combine whiskey and a wanderlust and you've got the stage for a playful evening. Getting uncomfortable and dancing around in the candle light to interpol. Melting ice and music. She's in love and she's lost.

“In a nervous and slender-leaved mimosa grove at the back of their villa we found a perch on the ruins of a low stone wall. She trembled and twitched as I kissed the corner of her parted lips and the hot lobe of her ear. A cluster of stars palely glowed above us between the silhouettes of long thin leaves; that vibrant sky seemed as naked as she was under her light frock. I saw her face in the sky, strangely distinct, as if it emitted a faint radiance of its own. Her legs, her lovely live legs, were not too close together, and when my hand located what it sought, a dreamy and eerie expression, half-pleasure, half-pain, came over those childish features. She sat a little higher than I, and whenever in her solitary ecstasy she was led to kiss me, her head would bend with a sleepy, soft, drooping movement that was almost woeful, and her bare knees caught and compressed my wrist, and slackened again; and her quivering mouth, distorted by the acridity of some mysterious potion, with a sibilant intake of breath came near to my face. She would try to relieve the pain of love by first roughly rubbing her dry lips against mine; then my darling would draw away with a nervous toss of her hair, and then again come darkly near and let me feed on her open mouth, while with a generosity that was ready to offer her everything, my heart, my throat, my entrails, I gave her to hold in her awkward fist the scepter of my passion.”

― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

Back, back, back it up! Here's a few more shots from the dope lookbook I modeled for Red Velvet Swim! Some of my favorite swimwear of all time & the brand I went to Miami Swim Week with!

I don't know about all of you, but I've been getting really excited to set my goals for the new year! I signed up for the NYC Half Marathon on Christmas day (I ran in it last year) and I've been running every day in the woods I've been home. I'm back in New York now and ready to get a fresh notebook & planner for the New Year and write down goals!

Some of my goals are doing at least 2 morning runs a week, traveling more, losing a few pounds, getting a 4-pack stomach, doing more things for my boyfriend, working with bigger brands, volunteering with my church and spending more time with my family. Maybe I'll post my concrete list once I get it all together. I just really want to work towards being my best self! I have a really, really good feeling about this year! I know it's going to be my biggest one yet!

What are your goals? What do you want to work on this year?

Much love

Here's a little winter fur look I styled from Missguided. I decided to pair this baby bear brown fur over this AMAZING playsuit! I literally love this thing! It's like a sexy little scuba diver barbie suit! It's made of neoprene. It makes me feel fabulous and like a doll at all times.

I paired it with my wildfox cat-eye sunglasses and my YRU white stack platforms! (Which I'm about to need another pair of because I wear the shit out of them!)

Anyways, I hope you are all enjoying these few exciting days before Christmas! I know I am <3
