New York Fashion Week Day 4

Yes I did. I went bare legged again in the godforsaken New York polar freeze. My logic was, that if I walked ran fast enough from the cab/subway to the show space I would be fine. 

Making it all the way over to the West Side to Kenneth Cole HQ we were greated with cookies, donuts, coffee and hot chocolate. As you can imagine the donuts remained pretty untouched. 

They were visually eaten if thats such a thing by almost everyone in the room but zero physical donut consumption took place. If only I was a fan of donuts, I would have jumped straight in there. 

Oh well. Just some coffee to add to my never ending caffeine overload. 

Oh and a selfie station too? Seriously how could I say no!

Heading over the show space it was clear that the Fall 2014 collection and show was all about social media. Hashtag emblazoned walls, projected selfie's onto the exposed brick, after all if, if in doubt, check instagram. 

Having being allocated a seat on the FROW opposite some of my absolute favourite bloggers; Bryan Boy and Trop Rouge to name a few, I was torn whether to watch the bloggers or the collection?! Thankfully phew I had enough of a chance to do both with the show starting somewhat 'fashionably late'.

I've recently discovered this amazing widget to create a scrolling banner of the items or like items that I'm wearing in my outfit posts. Shop Style you really are my saviour. Everything worn in this post are some of my absolute wardrobe staples. Leather jacket, fur gilet and of course my neoprene skirt from & Other Stories which I would actually wear every single day if I could, and literally goes with whatever I put it with (click here). And of course my staple SUPERCALAFASHIONISTIC beanie which I am rarely seen without in the extreme temperatures this New York Winter. The wanted item of all my friends and co-workers, and at only £10, what a steal!

Jack's Wife Freda

Once upon a time there was a boy called Jack. 

Jack met a girl called Freda. 

Jack and Freda got married, ran away to New York and opened a restaurant in Soho. 

Together they lived happily ever after making yummy food for all of New York to enjoy.

Now wasn't that a nice little tale.
You know what's even nicer?
The food at Jack's Wife Freda. Thats what.

Last weekend I ate at the quaint little eatery.
Think jewish comfort food meets New York's healthy eating manta.
Yes I was in heaven.
Bring on the brunch!

This was the best damn bacon I've ever tasted.
Duck bacon. Don't ask my what, or how, just eat and enjoy.

Find Jack's Wife Freda at 224 Lafayette Street in Soho.

Hope you're all having a great weekend.

Buzzing for my first proper American Super Bowl experience tonight! Who are you rooting for?

Walk In The Park

What I'm Wearing: & Other Stories Beanie & Skirt, Zara Sweater, Kurt Geiger Mittens & Topshop Boots.

  

Spending the holiday's with friends this year is pretty damn great. I was a little hesitant at first to be celebrating Christmas away from my family as that's all I've ever known, and not getting to enjoy our traditional 15 dish Christmas Day feast would be one that I would find very hard to miss. But at the same time, I am certainly not one to say no to new experiences. I am extremely fortunate to have such great friends in the city and this Thanksgiving (my first ever Thanksgiving at that) was spent walking through the park, eating and drinking far too many glasses of wine with my wonderful friends. Well, would there be any better way to spend it? My darling friend Stayf Stefanie, took these snaps as we wondered through Central Park on the beautifully crisp day. The park was looking beyond splendid, packed to the brim with families who had all come into town for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the most gorgeous little doggies all suited and booted in their little quilted coats. To say I am falling in love with this city would be an understatement.

Cosy Club

The Cosy Club in Bath's town centre is the perfect place for any occasion whether it be a causal drink, full scale dinner or a delicious hangover cure. Slightly quirky and eccentric, the cosy club offers a wonderful environment for friends, family and loved ones. 

Think gentleman's club meets meets Cath Kidston. Yes I know that does sound like a bizarre combination, but trust me its a winner.

The girls and I popped in for a quick nibble and much needed hangover cure after a fantastic night out in Bath's new cocktail lounge The Ivy. With some of us feeling better than others, we had a rather eclectic order including a good old G&T (rather belated hair of the dog), skin on fries and a big brunch feast. But by George it certainly hit the spot. 

Sitting in the cosy lounge which is made up by a whole range of era's including a mixture of tables & dining chairs, battered old club armchairs, and sleek 1930's sofa, I just wanted to curl up in one of the sofa's and play scrabble all afternoon but London was calling. 

The whole place was looking rather festive and I couldn't help but have a little play with the shutter speed on my camera.

 

Nicky's skin on fries were to die for. I couldn't help but steal a few before she drowned them in vinegar.

Talbot opted for some homemade houmous with freshly baked ciabatta. 

I went for the egg and bacon stack which was certainly was what the doctor ordered. Layers of french toast and smoked bacon drizzled with lashings of maple syrup. Yes please!

What I'm Wearing: Topshop Collar, Topshop Jumper, Dorothy Perkins Super Skinny Jeans & Nike Dunk High-Tops (personalised by Nike iD).

If you're around in Bath and looking for somewhere yummy to eat then make sure to visit Cosy Club. If its just a  quick bite then no need to book for the lounge, but if your planning a big do then be sure to book for the restaurant as it gets pretty booked up (book online here). Hope you all have a great weekend!
