little miss print design

The lovely Anna from Miss Print Design featured our wedding on her gorgeous blog a couple of weeks ago. Her talent is so sweet as pie. 

opening ceremony

Opening Ceremony in Soho, NYC was another "it's my last day omg I have to fit every little last thing in". Renee and I tried on a few gorgeous pieces, I bought a pair of little Repetto black ballet flats and for a dear friend a set of Paperself eyelashes. Opening Ceremony brings together emerging american talent, with both established designers and artists from abroad. They also have a store within the Ace Hotel, which I posted about a couple of weeks ago. 

rose 31

Remember my post about finding Le Labo fragrances? Well I sought and I found on my very last day. What I found on a little street in Nolita, was a sweet smelling shop where they mix your bottle of perfume right there in front of you. They label it with your name and the date too. I bought Rose 31, delightful and the photos above show the perfumer mixing my lovely little bottle. Ahhhhh only in NYC.

The Crosby St Hotel is hidden on a little cobbled street (Crosby St) in the heart of SoHo down the bottom of Manhattan Island and only 15 minutes walk from my apartment. I only managed to explore the lobby and have brunch in the Crosby Bar, baked eggs and a delish bloody mary. But it's another boutique hotel to add to my (and yours) wish list the next time a visit to NY is on the cards. 

the meatball shop

Meatballs anyway you can imagine are served up at this super popular restaurant in the Lower East Side. Just a couple of minutes from my apartment, The Meatball Shop was always busy, always open, beckoning us in. Finally I had a late lunch on a day I had to myself. Food - yum, atmosphere - buzzing, wine - italian. Highly recommended, unless you're a vego of course.

that championship season

Finally I get back to Broadway. My Mum and I went and saw that championship season casting Kiefer Sutherland, Chris Noth, Jason Patric, Brian Cox, Jim Gaffigan and a bottle of scotch. Definitely a 'boy's club' play, but brilliant. Chris Noth was powerful and had such a presence, Kiefer Sutherland also brilliant, who knew he was teeny tiny. Mum and I had centre, second row seats. In fact, pretty much every play we saw we got amazing seats, paying $79. If you're going to nyc and want to get cheap tickets, visit theater mania and search discount tickets for the show you want to see. Mum and I paid around $80 for all of our tickets and we were sitting in either the second or third row every time.  

mrs. meyer's simplicity

Bars, Restaurants and Boutiques in NYC were scented with the simplicity of Mrs. Meyer's products. The products can be bought at your corner shop and any supermarket (if you live in nyc that is). Even better a candle is $9.99US. How good. Pretty please somebody bring to Australia. So simple, so cheap, so perfect. 

port douglas sunshine

I'm back, I'm back with so much to tell. Firstly, I was lucky enough to fly into some Port Douglas sunshine and the arms of my beautiful husband. A work conference at the Sheraton Mirage Port Douglas for the week and some time for me to prepare myself for the cold weather that I'd been hearing about.

OK back to NYC finds.
