-

the charlotte russe blogger style-off and coctail frenzy -

so after tim launched the new website for CR,

evelyn created a live-feed fashion blogger style off for the brand,

that fell right when i was in nyc.

-

imagine a room filled with new clothing,

fashion's little internet darlings,

an emerging brand,

coctails,

cameras,

and music:

-

-

then mix in old friends like richard christiansen and sara fisher from chandelier:

-

-

new friends like richard haines from whatisawtoday.blogspot.com :

-

-

katy dickson, timmer, hilary super, and julie greenberg from chicago:

-

-

shoes, clues, and interviews:

-

-

no wonder the racks were left empty at the end of the night!

birthday surprise in nyc - evelyn takes us to BASTIDE -

evelyn booked us into bastide,

a wonderful french restaurant in tribeca,

as a surprise for my birthday.

-

as we were walking towards it,

tim and i stopped dead in our tracks.

-

years earlier, after 9-11,

tim and i had wandered tribeca,

dreaming of living there.

-

we had found an abandoned building for sale,

had dreamed of converting it,

selling units,

living at that corner.

-

of course,

it was where bastide now resides.

-

-

you enter into a room of fresh apples:

-

-

and are candle-lit the entire meal:

-

-

there was something in that lobster and crespelle terrine

that i would have married:

-

-

and something in the evening i will never forget:

-

-

NY in the summer, impressions after a trip -

ran to nyc this august for some casting,

some meetings,

and some of what we always do in nyc.

-

love the city.

-

-

the kids at chandelier creative sent me their traditional welcome gift:

-

-

how i adore thee, richard and sara!

-

then michael and i powered up and through the city,

past the graffitti,

katy's dog lolli,

and various other landmarks:

-

-

even took time to walk the high-line,

a park in the meatpacking district built on the ruins of an abandoned elevated train track.

kind of perfect:
