Live from NYC # all the good things come to an end @)

Last days here, I am flying back to Paris on monday evening : I don't want to!

Crazy day today with some friends! I organised a farewell brunch at Clinton Street Baking in LES. Even if we had to wait one hour and a half outside to be able to eat these very good pancakes it was fantastic to meet them there from Boston, Los Angeles and Brooklyn in Manhattan, Lower East Side...

Live from NYC # High Line # Meatpacking&co...yummy&shopping inside @)


*When I got up yesterday morning I was dreaming of a late breakfast at La Bonbonnière and a promenade on the High Line. So disappointed I was when I arrived at La Bonbonnière (the conditionned air was out of order and it was 40 degrees...) that I decided to walk straight to Pastis.

Pastis was crowded of people and too show-off so I gave up for the late breakfast and enjoyed the High Line Promenade.

Live from NYC # Century 21 # shopping (bon plan K Jacques -50% inside...à Brooklyn!) @)

Yesterday was the hotest day of the week in NYC! I think I couldn't stand this heat any more! More than 40 degrees, can you imagine? Hopefully Earl was on its way to cool down the city today. The Labor Day week-end is announced to be more enjoyable for walking time!

So between a job meeting at the NYAS early in the morning and a late (disgusting) lunch with two job-collaborators I had a one hour shopping at Century 21. I tried many clothes and shoes and accessories, funny! Finally this bag will be for my sister, this cute shoes for me and I decided not to buy the synthetic fur coat (40 USD instead of 250)...but it was so cold in the shop that it was a great pleasure to wear it while shopping! And unfortunatly the beautifull cape was too big for me!

Live from NYC # Manhattan : Soho...shopping...etc @)

*It was so so hot in NY today (40 degrees?) that the only thing I could do was shopping&eating (first time I love so much the air conditionned!)!

So I took the F train from Brooklyn to Soho this morning and 10 minutes later (crazy!) I was on Broadway : shopping paradise? I won't say so...

First I had a very good breakfast at Hampton Chutney&co. I really recommend you this cheap indian organic restaurant (I had a lunch there last january, the vegetable biryani was perfect)! After two cookies just out of the oven (peanut butter and white chocolate/macadamia) and the cardamon coffee (that reminded me so much my travel to India) I was ready to go shopping! First stop : Topshop. Stayed there five minutes to look for a bag and gave up! From my opiniun everything there is too expensive for synthetic/bad quality...

Then I walk to Bloogmindale and fall in love with those so cute gloves from UGG :

(in real the gloves are camel, with cachemire inside, and the fur is not that white, looking foward wearing them with my Ugg boots!)
