our trip to nyc to visit friends last week was such a welcome break. we still managed to spend a few mornings at the park along riverside drive, and i didn't shop nearly as much as i wanted to, but that's how it goes when you're on leon time.
i bought an undershirt from India at
Maryam Nassir Zadeh in a lovely dark forest green. apparently they cost
$0.35 in India! i also bought white overalls from the Steven Alan outlet, which i've been coveting every since i saw
fanny bostrom's wedding photos. they are so comfortable, and i've really enjoyed the baggier silhouette.
we went to
bu and the duck finally, which is conveniently located across the street from steven alan in tribeca. the shop was filled with amazing vintage toys and furniture. i bought leon a pair of linen overalls, which he's modeling with his new shoes from
sweet william.
i had less luck with shoes, although what else is new? i fell in love with these
golden goose clogs, but the shop was out of my size. stephanie and i went to no. 6 (right next door to built by wendy) to try out their clog heels. my feet are so wide that i had a hard time even putting the T-strap clog on, and stephanie found them to run narrow, too. i'm guessing they'll stretch out a little, but i don't think there's much hope for me. so i ended up buying a pair of
sven clogs in black, which were surprisingly sleek and minimalist for clogs. however, after a walk to the park and back, i now have blisters and aching feet. perhaps the 39s are too small, after all. or maybe it's the high heel. not sure what to do about this.
i was deciding between the svens and the boating moccasins by
SeaVees, which were as comfortable as a good pair of sneakers, and now i wish i had gone with the latter. and so it goes!
