New York Stores

The interior of some stores we went into were awe inspiring. My favourites were Longchamp in the East Village (the giant winding staircase is unreal) and ABC Home and Carpet on Broadway (a giant Aladin's cave of furniture, jewellery and more). I also loved the supermakets. It was as if each one had a theme. 'Trader Joe's' was tropical and another was rammed full of Dinosaurs. Other's had paper mache turkey's hidden away from cereal boxes (well, it was Thanks Giving after all!) and scarecrows staring down on you as you choose your cereal. A great store we found was called 'Toy Tokyo'. It is a tiny shop hidden away in the East Village full of collectables like Ron English's Ronald McDonald and Charlie Brown figures. A real treasure chest. Dogs were displayed as toys, barking and shaking in plastic cages stacked on top of eachother. 'Pets on Lex' in Lexington Avenue, displayed Poms, Chihauhas, Dalmations, Persians and much more. We often went in, especially if it was raining, to coo at the poor animals, despite the fact that the way they're bread are illegal and cruel. But everyone loves a cute puppy, right?






















Bergdorf Goodman

Bergdorf Goodman had the most beautiful window displays I've ever seen. They certainly were the best in Manhattan. People in the street stood and looked at each one for lengths of time, as though they were in some outdoors art gallery. Such imagination, flare and intricacy. The inside of the store was just as gorgeous, the woman's more than the mens (they were opposite eachother on different sidewalks). Rows and rows of couture laced with marble walls, feathers and diamonds trickling past you at very step. A lovely place to walk around and lose yourself in. Makes Harrod's look like Debenhams!

Birthday Wishlist

My birthday is looming and what's the harm in creating a very unrealistic wishlist? No harm at all, I don't think. So, feel free to get me whatever you want, but obviously I'd rather it be from the list. Much love xx
