Not fans of Twilight at all, its so ‘high school’ compared to Ture Blood. I was once conned into watching the Twilight movie, i had no idea what it was about apart from the fact it was a ‘vampire movie’- and i love a good vamp flick. Being a Buffy fan from the beginning i was waiting for the witty writing and action and instead i got… a chick flick. Very annoyed!! I dont do chick-flicks!

Twilight fans would probably chase me through the street with flaming torches. Hehehe. Anyway, the point of this post wasn’t to trash Twilight, the real point was to show you this cool Bloody necklace:

Its pretty subtle and i like that it quietly suggests you’re a fan of the vampire genre or have a secret longing to be a blood-spatter analyst! Calling all Dexter fans?

We watched Miranda and Carrie chomp into those beautifully iced cakes and declare them to be the best in New York. You can just imagine the crowds outside the store the next day! We were strolling through the West Village when we happend upon it. The boys are big fans of cake, especially cake with mountains of icing on top, i think they get that from their mother. So  denying them would be cruel!

The sweet vanilla cakes with fluffy colourful icing fill up display cases- in many shapes and colours. The shop is actually quite tiny. There were 5 customers inside and that was a crowd! I found that as soon as i entered the doors a small queue has formed behind me- everyone swaying and craning their necks to check out what was on offer today. The sweet smell of sugar and vanilla seemed to emenate from the walls themselves.  No seating inside, just grab your cake and go perch yourself in a nearby West Village park bench.

In the window is cases of their most popular cakes and a sack of boxes. Just grab a box and help yourself to those. And we certainly did help ourselves! Lucky this park bench isnt outside the shop anymore… i dont think we’d ever leave!

Luckily i have lots of photos to share with you…

The windows of Bergdorf Goodmans store was beautifully decorated with displays of fashion through out the decades.

We tried hard to angle the photo so you could see more of the garments in the window and less reflection of the citys buildings and people. But that pretty much unavoidable. Thats NY, always in your face!

I love this polished retro look, the chignon, the parted fronge and the heavy eye liner. I was also drawn to the creamy shade of the glasses frame- black would be expected and probably very true to the era. But the caramel shade just adds a pop of modernity to this image. Mental note- find some creamy shades to sport this summer…

From basic shapes to intricate lace work, i can truly appreciate the time and effort and hand cramping that goes into making such unique art. I was inspired to create something unique for my friend Liss, on her birthday.

I had seen these:

and decided to make her this topper for her gift….


She was pretty happy with that!

I saw these beautifully designed melamime plates and thought the design on them was just gorgeous- much nicer than having to look at Dora or the Wiggles!!

Isnt the detail amazing!

Do you have a special mug or plate that you use everyday?

Sure, there are plenty of newsagent style florals and kittens and *gasp* kittens in florals! But a truly beautiful design makes that special hand written note even more precious. I cant imagine ever throwing out a note or letter penned on such beautiful paper as these Jonathan Adler beauties:

I love that the envelopes have a print on them also- very clever! Do you ever hand write a note or even a letter? Is letter writing a lost art in the age of emails, twitter and instant messages?
