The Energy of New York City

Took a brisk walk through SoHo for a fashion writing assignment.

Rag & Bone on Mercer Street.

I like the fresh orange boot.

Quick lunch at Maman Tribeca, where the check arrives in a French book.

The dishes are blue and white and beautiful.

1. Made a smoothie with frozen banana, natural PB, milk and unsweetened cocoa powder from La Maison du Chocolat--the deepest, darkest, purest cocoa. "Gorgeous" cocoa, as Nigella Lawson would say in How to Be a Domestic Goddess. 
2. It was invigorating to walk around SoHo and Tribeca--before hopping subway to Port Authority and catching 2:30 bus back to suburbia and all that life entails.
3. Washed my face w Mario Badescu Seaweed Cleansing Soap [liquid].
4. Got some lavender bath salts at Follain, a pretty store in SoHo to keep me and Figgy calm this holiday season. We both like taking baths.
