from the desk of the Fashion Fairy: Our New York Stay in August

  We were in town for the Children's Club market. 

We were pleasantly surprised and flattered Stella has been nominated for an Earnie Award 2011 for Best Girl's Collection.  This means a lot considering the votes are coming from the retail buyers. We will keep working hard to be the best!   Promise!

 Here I want to share our lovely visit to NYC.

 We made our home base in NYC at 135 Metropolitan avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

 Smart Apartments

This is a great alternative to staying in a hotel.  In fact, we will be making this our NYC family vacation destination every year.

Williamsburg rocks!  We love the water side parks, wider streets and views of the sky.

Great views of Manhattan from around the corner from our apartment.

Williamsburg street scene is vibrant and independent.

Sophia on Wall street wearing Stella Kay top and her 24/7 Stella denim leggings.

We had a great designer kitchen in our apartment.  We shopped as locals do, at Union Square Farmers Market in the city for fruits and vegetables.  August is a delicious month for locally grown heirloom tomatoes, apricots, blueberries, peaches and melons. We ate very well.

Bouchon Bakery in Columbus Circle

Bouchon Bakery in Time Warner at Columbus Circle is a budget way to enjoy famed chef, Thomas Keller's creations.   Sophia gives their quiche a big thumbs up. 

One of my favorite places to shop for women's fashion in NYC is Opening Ceremony.  The owners have a keen eye for offering a specific mix of designers and collaborations with labels that have been around for a while.  This shop is a really fun experience.

We will be back in NYC for October market!
