a lovely saturday in the city

*a nice stroll around the upper east side... day dreaming of the home I'd live in. (the yellow one on the left hand side of this picture)
*stopped in at bare minerals to test out their make-up.
*went to sephora to get a in the mean time make-up item.
*walked by a wishful thinking restaurant of jean-georges... in my book it had said he left his formal dining to open this restaurant JoJo's... menu items and prices, not so non-formal! I'd be interested to see his formal dining!
*so away I went down into SoHo and walked the bustling streets of chic shops and vendors.
*ate some scrumptious sicilian pizza.
*went to the market nyc- it's a designer market of those whose items have yet to make it into the mainstream. it was a warehouse full of designers selling their clothing, hats, jewelry, headbands (yay!), handbags, etc.
*then off to the hat shop- "quiet dignity" all the way to "flamboyant extravagance. They custom make the hats so they fit you perfectly. The lady was trying to sell me a "reasonably" priced felt fidora for $225... um, yeah... I wish! They even send you away with the hat in an old-fashioned hat box.
*then I fought the annoying crowds of canal street to grab some things for friends... don't plan on going back there any time soon.
*off again... back uptown!
*stopped in at Dean and Deluca (a fine food emporium) to partake of delectable samples of breads, pizzas, food, cake, pastries... these said samples were none existant (maybe they discovered a book recommended this and that is why there was a plethra of people coming in to eat their samples!)
*on up I went and stopped in at Columbus Circle. I wanted to get some delicious fruit at Whole Foods, but decided I did not want to carry groceries in my ward activity.
*that said.. I headed further up to go to my ward's talent show. it was quite the display of an array of talents. It was a full 3 hour show!

My Day! Do you care? No, but thanks for reading!
