For the second installment of my New York series, I chose our ‘garden’. I have tried to write how I feel about Central Park but I truly lack the words and the prose. The thing with Central Park is that I thought I knew everything about it because of my addiction to Sex and the City reruns:Continue reading “Love letter to New York #2: Central Park”

A day in the life: Greenpoint, Blackmail and Dexter
Note: I have been MIA for almost 3 weeks and have a lot of catching up to do!!! Looking forward to reading some of my fave bloggers. You know who you are 🙂 7.00am The Screw Up The day started by a sobering realization: I gave our nanny her Friday off so she could haveContinue reading “A day in the life: Greenpoint, Blackmail and Dexter”
Mood of the day: Blah
I had a working session today with a Fashion entrepreneur/Fashion designer. I love meeting with creative people because they are often extremely good looking and being near them is like eating La Duree macarons while listening to Bach. They have an air about them, an halo: is it the fitted cashmere coat, the biweekly facialsContinue reading “Mood of the day: Blah”
Love letter to New York #1: West Chelsea
If you have been reading my blog, you know that I have never shined away from professing my love of this city. This series just makes it official 🙂 After a rather traumatic return from the twins’ first dental visits, and two hours of non stop tantrums today I was…Well, let’s say that even aContinue reading “Love letter to New York #1: West Chelsea”
J’adooore!!!! Gaultier exhibit
Two months ago I went with BFF Natasha to see ‘The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk’ exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum. The genius and talent made me shiver; it almost made me sick to the stomach. I swear my heart beat faster than when I saw Matt Bomer/NealContinue reading “J’adooore!!!! Gaultier exhibit”
Mood of the day: Post Apocalypse shorties
There are a couple of things I learnt in the last two weeks: – the meaning of ‘polar vortex’, a persistent, large-scale cyclone located near one or both of a planet’s geographical poles. Basically, an almost apocalyptic end of the world during which your brain seems to be freezing while walking and during which opening yourContinue reading “Mood of the day: Post Apocalypse shorties”
2-0-1-4
I have read somewhere that the first week of the year is a good snapshot of what the rest of your year will look like. Or I am totally bullshitting this one because I needed to find a smartass way to frame my first blog post of the year. I could talk about my resolutionsContinue reading “2-0-1-4”
Christmas in Harlem
‘Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes How do you measure, measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets In midnights, in cups of coffee In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes HowContinue reading “Christmas in Harlem”
My black son
‘I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character’ Martin Luther King Jr. Something that has been happening with G in the last few weeks got me thinking aboutContinue reading “My black son”
Love, God, the Knicks and (losing my) marbles
This is an unusual post because it is trying to skim through what has been a helluva two weeks. It feels as if I had been fleshed down to the bones. And as I am slowly putting back my (protective) layers one after the other, I cannot help but feel slightly at loss. I realizeContinue reading “Love, God, the Knicks and (losing my) marbles”
