we keep nyc colorful, even in the greyest weather

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while! I've been soo busy with work, especially working late every night at the rag & bone sample sale. (The last day is tomorrow, so check it out if you haven't been!) On that note, I bought so many goodies at the sale, most notably the black liberty floral silk tank, the silk boyfriend blazer in blue and the blondie leather jacket!! My mom and Amy did some damage as well. The clothes are just oh so irresistible!

Today, my friends and I were supposed to explore Brooklyn, but due to yucky weather, we ventured to the closer destination of SoHo. Before SoHo, Alex, Amy and I made the MaryKate Steinmiller bracelets! I had bought the supplies weeks ago but have been waiting for the perfect time for our arts and crafts sesh.



Aren't they so great???

After bracelet time, we headed over to TopShop, as Amy has been meaning to go for ages! Obviously, they have a dress-up contest to win a free bike, and obviously I can't resist an offer to play dress-up!

I think it's a good look on me, no? I'll let you all know if I win the bike =)

Next stop: Pearl River Mart for cheap kitchenware. I forgot how fun this store is! Every kitschy Asian nick nack you could imagine! After the amount I spent at the sample sale, I had to hold myself back here. I did pick up a box of chocolate panda cookies though.







Next, Alex and I grabbed lunch at this little Cuban restaurant that I've been meaning to try called Cubana Cafe. It was soooo yum! Alex had vegetarian quesadillas and I got the green apple-jicama salad and plantain puree... yummmmm.....









After lunch, we continued to wander around SoHo in search of birthday and Father's Day gifts-- great success! Found something for Amy (can't say!!) and bought a Venus Fly Trap plant for my dad from Evolution. He's totally gunna dig it!

Peace, Love and Neon,
