A First Look at Fall 2011
With tweets flying all day yesterday about the Jason Wu show, I couldn’t wait for photos to hit style blogs today. Last year, he was my favorite by far. Perhaps it was the expectation I’d built up, but this time I was underwhelmed. Continue Reading

On the Street…Fall’s Knocking, New York
She seems so happy to be dressing for the cooler temps. I know I am! The Philip Lim sweater made it into my closet (on sale no less!) and for Sunday brunch I’m pairing it with white jeans, ballet flats and a cozy scarf.
What are you pulling out of the closet to celebrate the return of sweater weather?
Thanks to The Sartorialist.
How Do You Heart NY?
Last week, JetBlue became the first company authorized to use the “I ♥ NY” logo, designed in 1975 by Milton Glaser, in an ad campaign. The New York Times decided to invite readers to design and submit their own interpretations of this iconic symbol. Coming from all over the world, using images ranging from hot dogs to the Apple logo, there were riffs on everything from food to architecture, commentary on art, and the use of many other recognizable NYC icons.
Mr. Glazer, 81, was flattered. “I have seen my share of variations, and I always find them charming and amusing,” he said. Continue Reading

Couture Quaffs
I love Frank Bruni’s latest installment of The Tipsy Diaries (to start with, I just love the name of this column). In it, he talks about the New York craze for “bespoke cocktails” and highlights the talented owner/bartenders at TriBeCa’s Ward III. Messrs Neff, McCoy and Tabini will accept any customer’s challenge to use any ingredient to create a cocktail. The story starts with a Twinkie thrown down on the bar and ends with a recounting of Bruni’s own experience, the result of which is the yummy-sounding BruniBerry, made of tequila, cilantro, strawberry, jalapeno, honey water and lime juice. Frankly (no pun intended, but savored nonetheless) I really want to try a drink made of gin, cardamom and peach – quite possibly my three favorite flavors ever – that was a result of one of Ward III’s challenges and is featured on the article’s accompanying slide show.

Save A Park; Save Your Brain
A posting today from The New York Times‘ City Room blog tells the story of how a devastating storm that brought down hundreds of trees in Central Park last year has actually become a blessing in disguise. Parkgoers and park employees alike were horror struck at the initial devastation. But now, with cleanup efforts complete and plans to replant in the works, New York’s park commission and the Central Park Conservancy, the nonprofit agency that runs the park, are seeing the opportunity they now have to restore an overgrown park to the original vision of its creators, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux.

My name is Angela Eloise and I am a freelance writer. I recently moved to Seattle because I wanted a better home base to support my creative goals. And my shaman told me to. Cloud of Chaos was born from my desire to dance with the absurdity of life, to create a space where I could write and share all of the gorgeous, fun, snarky deliciousness I find spinning around me every day. What does a spinning cloud of chaos have to do with writing? Everything, as it turns out.
