Lanvin days...

Halloween

i just moved to New York two days ago and realized that there is Halloween this weekend...Well being European we hardly even know what it is...I usually consider it the worst holiday as I have the biggest fear for spiders...This year however I am going to quite a few parties...so I am looking for some inspiration and came across this in Italian Vogue...MAMMA MIA

 8h on a plane

1 aicking back

2 pairs of craycray colored pants

4 amazing friends

2 bday cupcakes

4 glasses of cava

(1st night as New Yorker...Mi piache MOLTO!)

New neighbor...I think we could become PRETTY good friends...

oh West Village...how I L-O-V-E you!!

BTW...on my first day in NYC I ended up going to Jefferey's OH MY LORD it is AMAZING! I have lived in London and been amazed by Matches and DSM...Ive been to Paris and Collette...and Ive lived in Florence and Milano (and had my fair share of in-store Luisaviaroma and Corso Como...)

but Jefferey's...Yeah lets just say...I will be spending a LOT of time there! It is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!

(and they loved my leopard printed tods...aka now I love them!)

X O X O

New York!New York!

I know! I know! I KNOW! Ive been MIA...but I do have a good reason...Ive moved across the pond...No more pretending to be an English rose pour moi... (I do still appreciate the beauty of a fashion shoot featuring (THE) one though...)

Leopard paws

 From left: Sequin Phillip Lim shorts, urban outfitters sweater, phillip lim jacket, Ps1, Pucci Tote

YSL ring, Salvatore Ferragamo flats 

Stella McCartney knitted sweater, Phillip Lim skirt, Isabel Marant boots, Vintage fur collar (mummy's <3) and I decided it was time to give PS1 a rest...so brought out good old (11 months...) Celine

I always walk to work, which means I have to wear flats, so I have to invest in cute and comfy once. My latest obsession is leopard printed loafers (and a couple of weeks ago I was in Milano and managed to find the dreams...Tod's leopard printed pony hair loafers! So cute I could NOT resist!)

other obsessions...

(http://www.barneys.com/Bernice/501300289,default,pd.html?cgid=WOMENS_COOP_FLATS )

these were chosen by Taylor Tomasi Hill as a fall have-to-have at Barneys...I think I might need to get them once Im settled in New York...

SPEAKING OF...

So no one ever said that moving across the pond is such a pain. But occasionally I had to listen the friends who actually done it before and it always was summed up with “it is VERY stressful!”

Maybe I should have paid more attention to these sum ups since I now all of a sudden find myself in the middle of the same hell. I have given up a life in London (a pretty damn good life as well) just to go live in New York. About a month ago I though this is going to be painful, but now it is painful…(for the past three days I have cried in public/office, been told off countless times and now I am about to pack up 40 pairs of shoes and move next weekend…

...

This weekend I ended up in a slightly bizarre club in Soho (dont even remember the name to be honest) but the music was great and I had fun. I love the pineapples in the ceiling...)

For a hungover catch up with my friend B we went to my new London obsession...The W hotel in Leisteer Square. (I know it is a horrible area but I find this the ultimate escape from all the tourists and non interesting tourist attractions...)

I love the Alice by Temperley bike on display in W (btw one of my New York dreams for is to have the Missoni for Target bike and go biking in West Village...wearing matching (non target) Missoni...)

on the way home we passed by Patrick Cox Cookies and Cupcakes in Brewer Street...bite me!

obession atm...(beside PS1) my spot-printed Tod's loafers that I found in Florence a couple of weekends ago
