A Tale of Two Trips
I spent the past two weekends in two very different places: Guerneville (California) and NYC. One was very relaxing, one was anything but (though lots of fun).
In Guerneville, there weren't a lot of places to shop, but I did manage to score this little guy for $2 at Sonoma Nesting Co.:
NYC, on the other hand, provided way too many opportunities to spend money. I think after four days there, I now have to put a moratorium on purchases for the rest of the year. In addition to the usual shoe and handbag temptations at Bergdorf, my wallet had to contend with the recent openings of Ladurée, Marimekko and Uniqlo. The latter was just a couple of blocks from my hotel, and I have to say: I can't believe the lines on opening day! That was some insanity. (Also, why is there almost always a line in front of the Abercrombie & Fitch on Fifth Avenue? I'm so perplexed by this.)
Opening Ceremony expanded its store a few weeks ago and I couldn't resist snapping a picture of the painted stairwell on the third floor:
This weekend, I'm staying put and really looking forward to clearing out some shows on my DVR.
