N to the Y to the C

We have been a little tardy updating here..sorry. But like I told Ms Bowyer in 10th grade, I have a really good excuse for not doing my work!


We have been in NYC! Other than the constant drizzle and cooler than average temps we had a good time. We stayed in Soho this time which was fun. We had a great view of the start of the 5 borough Bike Tour (see pic above). In Soho it is always great to walk past those cool restaurants and oh so expensive shops. There is the most precious hat shop on Thompson that I could just live in. It feels like a Parisian boutique from 1923.


We had a great dinner with these guys at this amazing tapas restaurant. I could have eaten all night! But then we took a mad cap ride in her car around the city. I felt like a was 16 again cruising around Nashville in my best friend's mother's car.

And we spent lovely time with Lizzie. Her shop will also make you swoon. If only I had my 25 year old body back I would look great in these.

We also had a few funny encounters. This vision in yellow was chillin' outside the Apple store. I stood behind her so that Susan could take her picture. She was just too good to miss.


And then we saw this beauty. I really wish I had seen her climb up. It was hilarious to watch all the delivery men in the area oggle her and then try to avoid getting hit by angry New York drivers. We finally decided the shoot was about the shoes.

Oh and while we there (ok the reason we were there) we bought some amazing new things for the shop. I can't wait for it to roll in. We have already received 6 boxes of jewelry and scarves. You really should come in and see. The drapey, delicate chain necklaces will truly complete the summer skirt and tank top ensemble that is so ubiquitous in Nashville. And the summer weight scarves are fabulous. We didn't bring the NYC prices home with us! Most of the scarves are under $25!

More hats are arriving this week as well after our stock was depleted by Steeplechase and Derby. (Sorry about the mud everyone!) The Nessa Cronin confections were such a hit we are having another batch custom made in Ireland. Those beauties should arrive by July.

So glad to be back in friendly Nashville! I love the big city but I love my city more!
