Black on black...

Yesterday I rolled out of bed...went into my closet to get dressed and pulled out my black Soho Shorts and very casually grabbed a black tank to wear with it. I don't think I have ever worn black on black---I am normally dressed in so much color that I could be mistaken for Rainbow Bright's twin (extreme comparison). I couldn't help but think, does this mean I am morphing into the all black wearing group of people that fills this city?

When I came into work Stephanie (my little New Yorker) greeted me by saying, "oh you look like me today!" Anyway that being said please expect Spring 2012 to lure you in with vibrant colors and saturated jewel tones because I still love bright colors and always will! And if you see me wearing black on black tell me to go home and change into a hot pink shirt.

My bestie Ruth was in town all last week which was so much fun having her here! She actually helped me get some ideas together for Spring 2012. We also hit all the best food spots while she was here:
- Grimaldi's Pizza, Brooklyn
-Katz Deli, Lower East Side
-Bobo, West Village (the best---atmosphere, food, service)
-Central Park Boat House, Central Park
-Sophia's, Midtown East

We attended Gen Art's Film Festival for night #6 which was the featured film, "American Animal." The very interesting and "dark comedy" was written by Matt D'Elia who also stars in the film. I am not a film critic so I will leave that up to someone else--but all in all it was entertaining. The after-party was at Avenue on 10th avenue which is a really cool venue!
Check out the links to find out more about the film:

Our sample sale was a hit! We had lots of shoppers, cocktails, and best of all Baked by Melissa cupcakes---those little things are so tasty. They actually remind me of the danger of popping a can of Pringles potato chips...need I say more--danger
