city girl at heart

Although New York City intimidates me, it makes me realize how much I love city life. There's always something going on. I know that in the future, I'd love to live in the city...if not NYC, some other. 

 

On Monday, my best friend, my brother, and I went to the city, hoping to catch the Prada/Schiaparelli exhibit at the Metropolitan, but the museum was closed. I suppose we should have kept its hours in mind before we left. Then we went to find this man's secret bookstore, which we found and rang the buzzer  of, but he didn't respond. I was very disappointed that he wasn't home. We also went to Chelsea Market, which is a food haven. Absolutely wonderful. 

 

Of course, I had to see what all the craze about macarons was so we went to try some at Lauduree...but by "some," I mean one each because that's all we could afford! I must say, those cookies were worth the $2.70 I paid (for ONE, mind you!). Delicious. I bought rose petal, my brother bought coffee, and my best friend bought strawberry...they were absolutely scrumptious. But one step into the store, and we knew we didn't belong. It was just too posh! 











And along Madison Avenue, there were all these fancy designer stores (the likes of Celine, Chloe, Bottega Veneta, Ralph Lauren, etc.) but this gown in the Ralph Lauren (I think...) display window caught my eye. Love the gown, don't quite appreciate the protruding ribs on the mannequin...kinda kills the appeal of the dress.

Ignore my frumpy look in my full outfit picture...it was taken at the end of the day (smart of me, right?) after sweating and getting lots of blisters. But, I must say, I really do love this outfit.

How have all of you been? I know it's been a while since Violet and I have posted, but...we've just been busy not being busy.

It's a lazy life.
