Fashion & Fun

CLOTHESHORSE
If you get to the Nan Kempner exhibit at the Met, go for the guided tour. Daniela and I hit it today, and it was wonderful. The woman's closet is unbelievable - top designer works everywhere: YSL, Lacroix, Valentino. It is a stunning display of the private fashion of one of New York's most fashionable and charitable women. As a Project Runway fan, I can say it was some serious eye candy and I wanted to steal all her handbags!
MARTINIS IN LES
Was able to wrestle Alex away from her blackberry long enough to continue our quest of trying new bars and restaurants. We headed to Double Happiness in LES last night. The bar is underground, nestled in Chinatown - and kind of hard to find (Alex and I walked by it twice and had to call - like idiots - before locating it). It was all very good - and on a quiet Monday night - a perfect place for us to catch up on the past week. So we toasted this Double Happiness find as women who are indeed doubly happy in our lives. Her energy and zest for new experiences in this city is infectious - and I hope we can keep up the mission of expanding our "hotspot horizons."
WORK AND PLAY
Tomorrow, I have to be in at work at 4:30am - ugh - and begin a 7-day stretch in the newsroom. Double ugh. The bright side is that I have a lot of after-school activities planned in the evenings, so that should make the work grind a bit more bearable. On the radar, a couple of dates - dinner with friends - and hopefully, an outing to find a bar trivia joint... which I've pretty much wanted to find ever since moving here.
