Jennifer is now a fulltime nanny and she has graciously offered to babysit the kids once a month so Andrew and I can go out and have a date night. So as soon as I was off work at 2pm. we drove to NYC for a small shopping spree. We walked around SoHo, visiting my old neighborhood and my favorite shops like Fragments, Big drop, Intermix, Olive & Bett’s, Apc, Dolce & Gabanna, Barbara Bui, Catherin Malandrino, Flying A, etc. 

Then we had a late lunch at Balthazar bakery and walked over to NoLita, where I used to go every Saturday from 2004-2005 to a place called ‘the Market NYC’. I sold my jewelry here along with other 100s of independant designers. 

I loved and enjoyed the interaction with customers. fun times… 

Then we headed over to East village to eat japanese food at sobaya. Afterwards, we ended up in West village, walking around and chatting. It was a really fun night, getting alot of excersice. I didn’t really purchase anything it was more of eye shopping and research for my next collection. Andrew was never a fan of shopping but he was really a good sport and followed me around everywhere. (Well, he did have his blackberry in his face the whole time while I was in shops but still…) 

Can’t wait til our next date night at the u2 Concert!
