The Mercer

The other day Jordan and I decided to get drinks (and a tea cup of hot water) at The Mercer Kitchen (located in The Mercer) in Soho. We always have so much fun whenever we get drinks there; the bartenders are so friendly and the people are so nice it is easy to spend three hours there without even realizing it. The man and woman sitting next to us were so friendly that they even offered us chocolates that they were eating in celebration of the woman's birthday! 

Pink dress from Juicy Couture and White J Brand Jeans

Here is my outfit from yesterday. Jordan asked me if I wanted a picture and then snapped it pre-interview. It was kind of an exciting moment for me. Usually I have to get up the courage to ask him to take an outfit pic. It is an everyday sort of thing. I think he expects it... I am beyond thankful. 

Either way, I got a nice email from my grandmother today telling me she was proud (an important/proud moment for me). Which reminds me, Mother's Day is on Sunday so do something lovely for your Mum. I am not going to make a collage of beauty products you can get your mum like I have seen a lot of people doing. I do not think my mum would like a bouquet of eye creams, anti-wrinkle creams, perfume, and candles from Diptyque (I think that seems rather mean/why would anyone want someone choosing their beauty products for them?), I think she would prefer a calfskin leopard print iPad case or handbag. I am working on it Mum, I swear! 

I promise I will have a more exciting post to show you soon (or at least I plan for it to be).

Spring/Summer look updated: Club Monaco Cashmere & Leopard Print Scarf

Yesterday when I was in Soho I bought this new cashmere jumper that was on sale at Club Monaco. I had never actually been to a Club Monaco I do not think. I am not going to lie it was Snejana/their lookbook that made me go into the store (also the fact that the temperature dropped and I was quite cold). I love the fit and how soft it is. It was my gift to myself.

I also bought this leopard print shawl from Bloomingdales, which is lovely because it unfolds into what seems like a small blanket. Also, if you know me you know that I have been in search for ages... maybe a year, for a leopard print scarf that I like. I am excited to say that I found it! With my two new lovely items I put together an outfit that I am excited to wear. It is pretty much the same as my summer time uniform from last summer but with a different pair of ankle boots.

On Sunday Jordan and I wandered over to Soho to get lattes from Balthazar. I am addicted to their soy lattes. They are a source of faux optimism I swear. We drank our lattes and ate pastries in front of the Crosby Street Hotel (much better then sitting in front of the Balthazar bakery).

It was so warm out, it truly felt like Spring.
