This week FLEW by. Largely in part because I had so many appointments and meetings and catch ups with friends + colleagues that I was barely at my desk. It had me working several late nights as a result and today I’m excited to just stay in my neighborhood and have a low key day! Last night was spent with girlfriends catching up over burgers + cocktails and I love seeing my neck of the woods start to get in the spirit with beautiful holiday decorations.

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! xx

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• Got a sneak peek of Everlane’s first permanent store (28 Prince Street) – it opens today!
• Met up with Hitha for an impromptu cookie + walk date on the Upper West Side.
• Checked out the goop Pop Up on Bond Street – lots of pretty gift ideas!
• Celebrated a friend’s fundraising for Movember. I give to his campaign every year and it’s fun to toast his efforts at the end of the month!
• Signed up for French classes! I’m planning to dust off that minor of mine come 2018. I am so excited!
• Went to support Bekka’s display of her handmade line at Madewell (she just had a bag featured in New York Magazine! So cool.)
