Wicked

Have you seen Wicked yet?

We saw it in New York on Saturday and LOVED it!

Click here if you are interested in the tour information, and if it is coming to a city near you then do try and go, it is AMAZING!

New York

I don't think any of us will ever forget the events of 9/11.

I am leaving for New York this afternoon with my daughter and some friends. We are going to have a wonderful weekend, and enjoy New York to the fullest.

We will never forget what happened but refuse to live our lives in terror.

That being said, I'm sure I will cry on Sunday.

New York

As you may remember my last trip to New York was cancelled because I did not fancy wearing an evening dress in 19" of snow!

We have been invited to a party on Saturday night, and I think I can trust the weather, so hopefully we will make it this time.

The event is a nighttime cruise around Manhattan and the attire is black or white.

I am planning on wearing a new Lilly dress, with Vintage Alhambra necklace and earrings, platinum nail polish on my fingers and toes and some sparkly sandals with a silver snakeskin bag.

Casual, summery but hopefully sophisticated enough for the event.

Our daughter is at summer camp for two weeks with her friends, but our 10 year old son is very excited about the trip. We are staying in a room that overlooks the Statue of Liberty and it has a telescope, and we plan on visiting the Natural History Museum and the Planetarium. Lots of fun!

Of course I will be visiting Lilly on Madison!

St John - ribbon dress

I have been invited to an event in New York in a few weeks. I'll get to meet the mayor and attend a concert at Carnegie Hall. I'm tres excited, and trying to decide what to wear.

I am thinking about this dress from St John...

I love the ribbon detail down the sides.
