Halloween 2012

To take a little break from all these travel posts:

Three blind mice, three blind mice, see how they run, see how they run.....

Our friends had some creative costumes this year!

Happy Halloween from Chicago!

NYC: Shop


Last, but certainly not least, I'll end this NYC installment with a shopping segment. As with anything else in NYC, you could spend days, months and years perusing the streets and you wouldn't hit all the best things to see, shop, do and eat. This time around I enjoyed a little Kelly Wearstler in the attic of Bergdorfs, Uniqlo basics shopping...which is rumored to be coming to Chicago, Brooklyn flea market...where I signed a consent form for a reality tv show on flea markets, while being filmed in one of the booths. Funny thing is that I saw the show on HGTV or Travel Chanel not too long ago and prayed to the heavens that my slightly hung over face would NOT show up. I digress. Fishs and Eddy is one of the stores that I try and visit each time that I'm in NYC. Think of the home section of Anthropologie as one huge store. So obviously the photos of the spoon chandelier below are from my recent trip.

Hope you enjoyed reading about my recent trip to NYC...I'm sure the next is right around the corner!






NYC: Do

A few fun shots from a few fun and random activities in NYC.

Justin Bieber at the Today Show, my favorite store in the world Kate's Paperie, a jazz bar, photo op in Bryant Park,  random things you find in Brooklyn and Belvedere Castle in Central Park
