CURIOUSER NEW YORK

Ever thought you'd have someone deliver you wine and cheese to the banks of Seine? A trip to Paris just got more fabulous.  Imagine someone bringing you a bottle of frozen rosé wine and toasts with tapenade... 

Central Park Reservoir, NYC I'm loving how NYC became so bike friendly over the last few years that I have been away from the city. When I was leaving NYC, one could only spot take-out food guys on the bikes and casual biking crowds at the Central Park. There were hardly any other people biking in the city-city, while now - [to my greatest pleasant surprise] - so many people venture to bike on a daily basis in the city itself. 

This is something that I'm sooooo happy about it! Actually, I'm thrilled about it... Seeing that NYC is becoming more-or-less bike-friendly is really a dream of mine! The last time I remembered, I could only bike in and around the Central Park, not braving myself to venture out and bike along the avenues and streets. Even the west side of the city took a rather pleasant turn in the past few years - the bike/jog/skating path along the west side hwy has been renovated to fit all the eager-to-exercise New Yorkers...And they do it in style!

Outside the Lincoln Center during the fashion week... One of the things I saw a lot during the fashion weeks in NYC and DC is the press members and the members of the blogging world walking around with their iPads. Often, they even recorded videos from the runaways, not to mention that they took photos with it, as well as with their iPhones. I did it too. Both - utilized iPad and iPhone, although I'm still in love with a good digital camera and lenses. iPads - or any of the other Apple products - instantly became the real fashion item. The THING to have! It almost became symbiotic with the shoes, accessories and clothes you pick for the fashion shows. Apple's products definitely complemented the looks, just as a good Moleskine 's notebook does. It is still so awesomely handsome when an editor and/or a writer walks around with a Moleskin leather notebook, making notes and sketches...I love mine, that's the sure! It's both fantastic and sad...
