Bon Voyage Ma Belle by Ellinor Stigle

This is Ellinor's portrait of me from today's lovely meeting at ABC Kitchen. Always the kindest spirit. She managed to shoot me while not  paying attention:).....doing what I do a million times a day, taking pictures for my diaries.

The title came from her. I am off tomorrow, time to go home to London.

Love to you Ellinor!

Too a contributor for my Coquette Journal:)!

Diary 105: Bergdorf Goodman, The Jane, Me & Some Other Things

This is Diary Part 1 documenting my New York. Images top to bottom: 1-8 Bergdorf Goodman and its Christmas Windows which in my opinion are the the most wonderful in this world. 9-10 Went to The Jane yesterday. The loveliest hotel. 11-12 I Love this antique market/ store on East Houston called Billy's Antiques & Props. 13-15 Wonders found during my morning walks around Williamsburg/ Greenpoint in Brooklyn. 16-18 Me at Schiller's and its powder room:) I've been here Almost Every Day. Can't get enough of their staff, coffee and cheap white. Last outfit is me in a To Be Adored dress and Gucci bag.
