Fall 2010: New York City in Pictures

Torrential rain 5 out of the 10 days I was there. F. 

Mr. Diabolina hopped on a red eye to surprise me the second weekend I was there. He brought the blue eyes and the blue skies. ADORE!



I was shocked all our friends were able to keep the secret. Just look at them.

The Empire State Building from a rooftop party. Gorge!

Burratta heaven in Soho

Naughty wallpaper at a speakeasy

Mr. NBC won an Emmy and got a promotion the week I was there.
I am his good luck kitty.

The corner I would live on if I were homeless

Stalking Ben Stiller as if I were homeless

Amazing Christy Turlington subway ad

Even more amazing red lips at Spice Market



I heart NYC peddlers

Mr. Diabolina especially likes their sunnies

More cheese, this time from The Oak Room at The Plaza

Three virgins in the Village

Someday Boozing in Brooklyn will be the name of a chapter in my book....

ALOT of beer and Jager shots helped.
Mr. Diabolina's Captain EO tee...not so much!

So many cool backdrops for blogger photoshoots in NYC.

Tyra teaching me to smize at a keynote session. Learned she is writing a book series. About magical models at a Hogworth's kind of school...um....

While I was in NYC, Jean Bean (in cateye Diors) ended her job at Conde Nast and started a FABULOUS NEW ONE AT NEIMAN MARCUS!!! 

She and Texas Cowboy are moving to Dallas and will be in LA all the time now. Can you say YAYAYYAY!

Chanel at Bergdorf's - sister brand of Neiman Marcus.

Wonder if that means I get a discount at my beloved Bergdorf's cafe now?

My love in Central Park. 

My other love, Louis.

Obligatory shoe shot. Missoni Chucks win!

Happy Hour at the Eventi Hotel.

Cocktails at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel

The Ace Hotel piggie. 

The perfect wedge

The perfect memorial

The perfect NYC trip.




Happy weekend. Take lots of pictures!

Bedbuggin' while Topshopping

Jean Bean is terrified of bedbugs. She is careful about where she sits and what she touches and where she goes. She is O-B-S-E-S-S-E-D. 

So obsessed she helped me strip my NYC hotel bed

And ensure there were no nasty little parasites waiting to suck my blood

We didn't find anything except lint. Which was enough to almost throw Jean Bean into convulsions.

I was the one in convulsions when bedbugs were found at Bloomie's that weekend. I mean bedbugs that love to shop sound cute but probably are not.




 Needless to say, I was turned off to shopping thanks to the little critters taking Manhattan.

Topshop was the ONLY place that could remotely tempt my tummy.

Fell in love with (bedbug-free) coats, shorts and jumpsuits at the only US store.

The drape and fit of this jumpsuit was sooo YSL for $110.

And though I loved that brick color, the navy was infinitely more wearable. 

 Figured I could come back and get it.
BIG mistake. Sold out by the time I came back a few days later.

Despondent and depressed and blaming bedbugs for my discombobulated decision making, I ended up just getting these pearl flats.

Probably because they matched my polka dotty outfit that I LOVE!

Considered snapping up this Miu Miu inspired blazer too



Swallows are the only kind of critters I'd consider taking home with me from NYC. Sorry, Bloomie bedbugs.

Pictures That Make Me Smile

Happy Friday!
