New York City Scenes!

Yesterday morning I was walking over to my friends house to do our morning walk to work when I stumbled on these fabulous sculptures at City Hall Park ( I love the fountain there!!!) it was really cool to see the modern sculptures amidst everything that is really old ie: the fountain Woolworth Building City Hall and the Brooklyn Bridge.

I absolutely loved the peonies, they are my favorite flower!!! these flowers were picked from a peony farm which had me thinking for a second I wanna be a peony farmer! Ha!! Alas for now I will be content with my day job slash cross stitchin moma!!

Please excuse how terrible the picture with the lights are but I just thought they looked so pretty and wanted to post it anyway!

I'm off to Oxford!!!

Well not really but they were plenty of oxford shoes on my photo shoot!

Today I had the absolute pleasure of wearing the most divine outfits at work and have convinced myself that I will someday own the fabulous Givenchy Dress with the most amazing pleated detail I neeeed it in my life and the croc YSL shoes to!!! A girl can dream of course but let's not forget about the vintage champagne glasses that I scored!!

During my down time I started a new cross stitch in the beautiful peach that has been seen in on all the runways and in all the stores and I noticed that one of the fashion accessories matched perfectly!!!

And another one!!!

Part two in the product shoot and I think I'm doing a quite well if I do say so myself! I hunted and gathered stuff in my daughter's room and I feel they are good representation of "La Vie est Belle" for my daughter who enjoys relaxing in her room and reading and of course sneaking the occasional candy or two! Plus who doesn't love Hello Melody!

There are no words!!!

Last week I was on my way to pick up my daughter from school and I while I was walking I was envisioning my next product shoot in my head, it was going to be a wedding theme and I knew that I wanted vintage champagne glasses the one's that are usually etched and have a wide opening. On my way I decided to visit some of my favorite vintage stores on 23rd st. My last stop was the goodwill on 23rd between 3rd and 2nd and lo and behold what do I see for the amazing price of
49 cents!!!!! Eight yes that's right eight champagne glasses. I could not believe my eyes and immediately snatched them up! I can not wait to throw a soiree and show them off to all of my friends!!
