Vogue Moment

So while in New York we saw a photo shoot that was taking place across the street from our hotel. We recognized the model (Coco Rocha) and the photographer (Annie Leibovitz), and we assumed it would be for Vogue. So low and behold in the December issue...the photo we saw being shot!

My Ears Have Bling

When I was in New York in September the first store I think I went into was Henri Bendel. One of my purchases were these iPod earbud covers by Deos, which are encrusted with Swarovski crystals. I love how they look and I had to have them. Something to dress up those generic iPod earbuds that everyone has...

White Lies - Rounds 2 and 3

So as part of my trip to NYC we decided to include a concert. Well it just so worked out that White Lies (one of my favourite bands) was playing back to back shows in Manhattan and then in Toronto.

The band played a straight set no encore. Then in Toronto at the Phoenix (which was an early show) the crowd was much more rowdy - mosh pit? crowd surfing? fist fits? and definitely younger.

NYC = LOVE

So I'm pretty sure NYC changed me. It was MAJOR. I could have just stayed. Like as soon as we got out of the cab we started to acclimate. Our hotel was great, perfect location. We did so much despite or sore feet, the heat and general exhaustion. That was all part of it though. There were so many highs. Shopping at Henri Bendel, Brooklyn Bethel, Times Square, Lunch at the Palace Hotel, Jimmy Fallon, the Russian Tea Room, dinner at STK...I could go on and on. Even the moments that weren't so great are still good memories. I'll never forget my first time and it won't be my last...
