NYC or Bust!
Saturday, August 22, 2009
This past weekend Elizabeth and I packed our suitcases and headed to the East Coast for the New York International Gift Fair. An adventure indeed!... from flying in on a red-eye and getting right to work, to hopping around different neighborhoods looking for inspiration - we definitely packed our schedule full.
Blurry, I know...but it feels like your getting on a futuristic spaceship when you board Virgin America.
On our way to NYIGF. The sea of yellow is always a trip!
Arriving to the show, one of the first things we stumbled upon were these adorable hand puppets by Cate & Levi!!
And these super cute purses by one of our old favorites- Queen bee.
Since the show wasn't completely opening till the next day, we finished early and romped around the city and soaked up the summer heat! (My favorite!!)

The Last day we woke up early to go see Megan Park's new Spring Collection for girls 2-8yrs. The showroom was to die for!
Whimsical + Shabby Chic + girly + the newest and cutest for spring 2010.
It all started with this green couch that greeted us at the entry way...
A little sneak peak of the girls Spring Collection that will be at Fiddlesticks in the spring ...
Aside from Megan's little girl line, she also has an entire ready-to-wear woman's collection and I am proud to announce that this Spring Lavish will be getting in some awesome pieces - making me wish it was spring already.
Elizabeth and I Oooing and Awwwhing at the woman's line...
Lunchtime!! We went to Cafeteria for Lunch.
(Super fresh Salads for around $8)
Drinks served in jelly jars...
I've probably tasted every tomato salad served in San Francisco (I'm a tomato connoisseur) and I have to say that this one wins hands down.
It was deeeeelish.
Is that.... Pret?!?!? PRET A MANGER!???!!
So, we had one last stop (per my request), and it was Pret A Manger.
While living in England for a few months I became obsessed with Pret A Manger. It's like Subway minus the slimy meat and clear tomatoes... a sandwich shop just as it should be. Delightful, creative, and always fresh. I should probably be their new spokesperson. ANYWAY, I dragged Elizabeth to one right before we needed to head to the airport.
This year they started popping up in the U.S, but haven't made it past New York :( I'm hoping for a Pret on the West Coast by December 2010.
