My last two weeks in New York were great, and I'm trying to say goodbye without really saying goodbye (I'll be back!)

Here are some of the things I've been able to check off my list over the past couple weeks:

-I had my house call haircut. Jessica used to work in a salon, but now she travels to the homes of lucky girls like me. The best cuts I've ever had.

-I said goodbye to my tailor. There were hugs.

-Latte and a pistachio macaron from Bouchon Bakery.

-A visit to MAD. Not much up right now, but a small show of tableware from the permanent collection.

-Well, if you hadn't known or figured it out, I work(ed) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Until November 10th, anyway. So I'm saying goodbye to all my favorite galleries and co-workers. Making a point of seeing Katrin Sigurdardottir's works.

-Saw Katie at the Frick. Spanish Night there was wildly successful! So beautiful, and I love it even more for being the museum Katie deserves.

-Went to MoMA's Halloween PopRally - see below.

Other favorites I've visited to say goodbye:


-Greenwood Cemetery
-Washington Commons
-Uniqlo
-Central Park
-Le Pain Quotidien (Christina made my latte!)
-Alice's
-Butter Lane
-Cafe Regular du Nord
-Elsa
-Weather Up

I also made sure to:
-Watch college football with Elizabeth and Allison (go Sooners!)
-Get a manicure

Some places I'd been meaning to visit and finally did:
-Eataly
-Annie and Elizabeth had the idea to visit William Greenberg for the famous B&W cookie. I don't know if they were too impressed, but I liked it!
Roebling Tea Room
-I finally saw the Columbia campus, which was quite pretty. And nearby is Saint John the Divine and the Hungarian Pastry Shop!
-Coney Island! Allison and I visited Saturday morning, and happened upon the rally to save Ruby's. And munched at Nathan's.


Let's not get too sappy (as I'm wont to do). See you guys soon!!

PopRally Halloween

From the PopRally at MoMA. I discovered... well, affirmed, that my ideal outfit consists of a tutu and glitter. Next year I'm thinking Shirley Temple? The drink? So that I can wear the cherry again!

TKO Orlogi



My watch gets noticed. Which isn't surprising, as it's big, pink, and rubbery. And awesome. I love that it's styled like a 1980s gold grandpa watch. I found it at some bargain place (of course), but the company, TKO Orlogi, just collaborated with Henri Bendel to make a slap bracelet watch. Ha! I'm interested.
