An apple a day....

I should have taken my own advice, I have been down and out for the past day with a pretty bad head cold, and apart from an extended sleep in yesterday, it was still full steam ahead here in NYC.

Went to the Frick Collection, this is a mansion built on 5th Ave by John  Henry Clay Frick it is the most amazing building, it was built for him in 1913 and his intention was to have it left to the state  after his death as a museum along with his very excellent art and furniture collation. If you come to new york it is well worth a visit, and you can get a free audio guide included in the admission price. www.frick.org

Also walked along the high line, this was an old elevated freight train line which was abandoned mid last century and instead of dismantling it they have turned it into a sort of park, it is quite interesting to walk about part of the city and it has a great view out to the Hudson.  www.thehighline.org

Did the Museum of NYC today, and managed to while away 4 hours there! A wonderful place to get the history and stories of NYC and they have a great book shop too!

But all theses physical and intellectual pursuits can leave a girl wanting something for the other side of her brain, so where else but down to 34th St, the fashion district for a bit of credit card therapy!

I scored some sweet buys today,
a very sexy pair of leopard print shoes by Aerosoles, which mean they just don't look good, they feel great on your feet! Who says fashion can't be comfortable..

and because it is summer at home I could not go past these nine west sandals, and then you know how it us, if you get the shoes, you need the matching handbag and then the ear-rings to complete the ensemble, so voila here it is!

It was crazy in the city, we stayed in town and had dinner with Meaghan and Damian in a Italian place, while waiting in front of the Plaza hotel I took this photo, I thought the moon looked so lovely above.

So twinkle twinkle, this little star is off to bed, be back soon....
