Elephant Rides in Bali

Work is beyond busy, but there’s one thing getting me through each day – Bali in 22 days! Sasha has begged me not to over-book us, so I’ve limited my planning to a famous Balinese cooking class, volcano tour, temple tour, yoga class, Ubud day trip, and my favorite – an elephant ride! The first time I saw elephants in the wide (i.e. not at a zoo) was in South Africa three years ago, and I fell in love. They are so darn cute.

Favorite Looks of the Week

This week has been very, very busy at work, so I didn’t get to catch up on my blog reading until late last night. Lots of beautiful looks to pick from – I’m loving this transitional phase into fall. Lots of plaid, autumn colors and boots. Oh the boots. I especially like Sarah Vickers’ outfit – I want to wear that exact outfit to the Nutcracker this year.

The Perfect Nursery

I follow Taylor Sterling (founder of Glitter Guide) on Instagram, and I think she’s absolutely perfect. She has been posting pictures of different pieces of her nursery/office recently, but not until yesterday was the entire room revealed on GG. I literally have clicked through all of the pictures three times. I love them all so much. Every single detail is just as I would have dreamed – from the Rifle prints on the wall to the amazing Hayneedle furniture. Baby Elodie is going to have one stylish life. What do you think of the decorations?

Whirlwind Trip to NYC

I love, love, love New York City. It has so much energy. I adore walking around all day long, eating far too much (delicious) food, acting like a total tourist with my big Nikon DSLR, getting excited about things I’ve now seen numerous times, like Central Park and the Empire State Building. I spent a very brief 36-ish hours in NYC this weekend with a good friend of mine – play-by-play itinerary below. What are your favorite things to do in the city? We’re thinking about making this an annual trip, so I welcome suggestions!

Friday

  • Landed around 2:30 and took an Uber cab to the Ace Hotel
  • Walked to Eataly and roamed around, then went to nearby Mangia for a quick salad
  • Walked to the observatory level of the Empire State Building (totally worth doing once)
  • Returned to the hotel and drank at their very hipster bar
  • Walked to Almond for an early pre-show dinner (I highly recommend this Flatiron spot)
  • Cabbed to the Al Hirschfield Theater for Kinky Boots (a must see)
  • Walked through Times Square and then back to the hotel
  • Step count: 7.5 miles
Saturday
  • Breakfast at Pastis (we ran into one of my best friends and her boyfriend while walking, so they joined us!)
  • Sat awkwardly at Pastis while they filmed a movie right beside our table for 30 minutes
  • Popped into Kate Spade Saturday’s Pop Up Shop
  • Got a drink at Revel Garden Bar (gorgeous, gorgeous spot)
  • Strolled through Chelsea Market enjoying the aromas and sample sales!
  • Walked along the High Line
  • Left the Meat Packing district and walked to the Gramery Park Hotel bar
  • Walked to Barbounia for lunch – amazing hummus and falafel and the busiest restaurant I’ve ever been to
  • Returned to the hotel to freshen up and drop shopping bags, then cabbed it to Barneys (sigh)
  • Stolled through Central Park as the sun was setting
  • Went to Kate Spade Madison AvenueI want it all
  • Walked to Bloomingdales and spent ages lusting at Equipment blouses
  • Took a taxi to Market Table, which is a perfect West Village restaurant (try the Brussels sprouts!)
  • Crossed the street for some froyo at 16 Handles
  • Walked back to the hotel for an early-ish bed (due to a 5am wakeup)
  • Step count: 12.5 miles
