Halloween x3

I didn't really plan to dress up or do anything for Halloween. Turns out 3 things came up and all 3 times I jumped...

1. Waldo. Went out with some work friends and Waldo was easy to put together in the closet. (Kofi was Erkel and Jenny was pregnant MIA)



2. Rachel Zoe Camp: some work friends and I decided to dress up like team Zoe. We even made a video. We totally shut it down.


3. Flapper Girl. Melissa bought this costume for Davis and when it didn't quite work for him I decided to give it a try. Last minute plans dragged me to the stake party.

Spooky Hollow and Tarry Treats

In honor of Halloween Kimberly, Ryan and I decided to go check out Sleepy Hollow and Tarry town last weekend. It's only a 30 min train ride north of the city so we just kinda hoped on the train with out a plan. The colors of the leaves and the area in general were beautiful! We walked through the Graveyard of where the writer of Sleepy Hollow was buried. We went to Union Cathedral where the Rockefeller's commissioned Chagall and Matisse to do stain glass..they were really cool. The whole town was decked in Halloween decorations, it was really fun and made me really excited to dress up and celebrate HALLOWEEN!

creepy but kinda funny..

Hocus Pocus

Ryan dressed appropriately for the day. One of the workers at the Manor thought he was working there, in costume, so we got in for free.

self explanatory

creepy/mad witches

City Dwellers

Macy posted this. I think in that picture Macy posted we had probably had three real conversations..funny.

6 years later....Look how far we (Davis and I) have come...+1.

Weekend

This past weekend Amby, Molly, and my Mom came out for a short visit! I feel like every time one of my family members comes to visit, especially my mom, they say "we aren't going to go overboard with the food and we don't really want to shop the whole time." I usually agree, with "I work with clothes surrounding me all day..the last thing I want to do is shop." But we always end up spending the entire time shopping and eating, I think it is just innate in us, we can't get away from it and we always enjoy it. So this time, like any other, we spent the weekend shopping and eating. And we did spend a few hours at the MOMA, which had a great Pre-Fab Home exhibit. We had brunch at Blue Ribbon Bakery, amazing bread, on Saturday and couldn't miss Norma's for Sunday brunch. We shopped in the West Village and Soho on Saturday. Had dinner at Momofuku, one my new fav's, and did the usual candy run to Dylan's. Sunday we walked through the park and shopped on the Upper West Side. We also went to an off broadway called Ballerina meets B-boy. May or may not be one of the worst shows I have ever seen. It was an Asian poorly performed dance performance that should have been on about 10 years ago. I think I should take that back..I don't know how it is playing at all. It was pretty funny. We all just kinda laughed. We had such a fun time, I am so glad they came!

The Next Big Thing

Lucky is working on their annual Next Big Thing for 2009 story. Becky and I thought these boots should be in the running...

Short Four

Last night Melissa and I headed up to Harlem to see Jenny Lewis. I'm loving Acid Tongue so I was really excited. Unfortunately when we got there she had already started playing..it was only 9pm! So the guy at the door said she only had been playing for about 10 min. We went, as he directed us, up to the balcony to find our seats and the usher said "no you are downstairs." Then we ran downstairs and the usher said "no you are on the lower balcony" we ran up one flight and the usher said "no you are on the upper balcony." Finally we found our seats, the first three ushers were obviously confused and caused us to be short 4 songs...we are guessing. But it was such a great show, of course, she always puts on a great show. love love.
