New York was hot today in every sense of the word, especially temperature wise. Parades, horses, fake Louis Vuitton bags…you know, everyday stuff. By the time mom and I finished exploring, our feet felt ready to fall off and the idea of posing for another picture evoked a mild allergic reaction. On the whole, our day in New York was a “great success,” despite a horrible map and an unexpected bill of $26 for two glasses of draft beer (Rink Bar at the Rockefeller Center). We did manage to find a restaurant with super spicy food, which I love. Ever since we discovered Khmer Thai Restaurant in Toronto, with their insanely spicy-delicious Cambodian soup, I’ve been a huge fan of spicy everything. I now crave a new approach to spiciness where ever I go. Today New York satisfied my cravings to the point where I couldn’t stop drinking water for half an hour; hot, hot, hot!

marc jacobs takes the subway
I’m out in New York right now and will post the pictures of today’s look tomorrow. This silk Marc Jacobs dress is what I wore to the last opera of the season, Maria Stuarda. I didn’t want to bother with the parking downtown, so my mom and I decided to take a subway for a change; hence the title.
full moon shenanigans
I’m laying out this post in chronological order, with the pictures appearing in sequence of unfolding events. I just had a really crazy day! It all started when, over morning coffee, we spontaneously decided to drive up to New York for a few days of “Manhattanism” – shopping, MoMA, food in the meatpacking district, a Broadway show, etc. I was pretty excited about the idea, so I tried to get as much done as possible during the day in order to make it happen (boring errands mostly).

A few days ago our dear friend Roma flew to Rostov-na-Donu, Russia, which is where he is originally from. He is potentially planning to stay there for over half a year or longer so a little group of us got together for a something of a “going away and come back soon party.” As is often the case, I found out about this little soirée pretty late and I had about 20 minutes to get ready. I notices that in situations such as these I usually reach for an a-line dress, long necklace, and heels. To me, this is just bulletproof and one of the most hassle-free; maybe because it feels relaxed and chic at the same time.
the shell game
My day started pleasant and slow enough, but turned into a “marathon” right after breakfast on our practically shadeless backyard patio. First it was the yogafusion, which seemed more intense and painful than ever. From class I drove straight to my hair appointment, bank appointment, auto body shop, grocery store, and then straight home to get ready for the last opera of the season, sushi, and now the post. The 34C and humidity didn’t exactly help the matter but in the end it was an amazing day actually. My little car and I got to spend some quality time together – windows down, old-school hip-hop tunes, the breeze. By the way, apparently today’s Toronto weather broke records for the highest temperatures on May 26 since 1937. I’m glad my Acura and I were there to witness this historic warming moment.
