Looking Good Isn't Easy

I have given up long ago making myself look more than presentable on a daily basis- far to tiring to face the day! 
I am in awe of how models and style icons do it to the extreme, but effortlessly, day in, day out. 

As they do fashion designers, people create a certain stereotypes for catwalk queens such as Cara Delevingne, insulting their interlectual ability among other things. But what is needed to become successful and strive in such an industry is extreamly underrated. 

With the start of Delevigne's film featuring future, Vogue celebrates the geneous of this gorgeous girl. For further coverage of this cover girls talent view Vogue.uk's various articles on the newly aclaimed actress. 

Blooming Marvellous Macy's

I will admit that when seeing the signs for "Macy's in Bloom" I almost ignored it; thinking it would be nothing special. However I have been impressed not only once, but twice by this floral festival of fashion. 
1) Walking past the windows -
Wow, it gives Fenwicks' Christmas window a run for it's money. Flowers, flowers,everywhere... But arranged in the most idyllic way. Floral enhanced sculptural typography: "BOOM" that adorns one window, pretty much sums up the impact it has on tourists and residents alike.

2) Instore - an esculator closed because of growing garlands; trestles teaming with the colourful creations covering the store; and an overall decident display exemplifying Grecian gardens, has those flocking for the famous fashions spending that little time ... And this that little bit more money in store ! 



Home from Home Comforts

However much I enjoy New York, England is my home and always will be.
We may moan about the weather, economy and government, but I definitely appreciate Britain so much more now. 
I think this is down to a combination of experience, comforts and nostalgia, but you would not believe how excited I was
to come across Myers of Keswick. 
This traditionally British shop in the heart of Chelsea, New York is a haven of British basics. From famous English tea brands,
to cordial, and milky chocolate these little treats are definitely worth the importing price!

Going on a Bear Hunt

This week we have said goodbye to a lovely girl who has finished her internship here. By recommendation whe had a fab farewell food fest at the Bareburger restaurant in lower Chelsea... Although they are dotted all over New York! 

The restaurant itself was super snug and the interior definitely caught the attention of the customer! 
Large patterned bear heads hung from the wall, as did school, hunting and family portraits with bears comically photoshopped in. 

With a large variety of burgers available and also the option to create your own, this allowed all types of eaters to graze... even veggies!

On top of this the puddings were to die for...and allowed grown ups the luxury of fun food. 

Our friend will be greatly missed, but it was a lovely send off!

A treat for the senses

Anybody in NYC in need of a little pick me up tasty treat today? 
I highly recommend the rasberry and almond croissant ( ... And of course a coffee to compliment it...) from Bouchon Bakery. Not only does the produce look, smell and taste devine: the views from this Rockafella Plaza place is perfect for people watching and just overall admiring the famous area!

Celebrating, Sharing, Smiling

This wonderful household in Brooklyn garuntees to put a smile on almost anyone's face. Celebrating spring and Easter to the egg-stream (sorry it had to be done), I want to thank the decorators for sharing their festivities and making a sunny Sunday even more special!
