favorite heel style
the wedge, but a sleek modern interpretation
second favorite
the stiletto
current shoe obsession
alas, the sneaker. (because I live in nyc and walk a ton!) but not too
sneakery of a sneaker. more of a sneaker disguised as a shoe, like a mary
jane style or a high-tech looking black one with a metallic accent. how
about Royal Elastics? I must go try some on. I really like the non-sneakeryness
of their styles.

'wich flavor do you like best? malt? classic? pb?
hot chocolate by 'wichcraft is open in Bryant Park!
At last, this cute little hut in Bryant Park that they've been painting and repainting every shade of green for at least the past five months has opened! I was so excited to see it open on Wednesday after the snow storm that I started snapping pictures without even realizing what they sold. Hint: a very very very delicious item that is a perfect compliment to ice skating. Hot chocolate! And not just your average hot chocolate, because 'wichcraft is never average. Malt hot chocolate! Peanut butter hot chocolate! I can vouch for both flavors, because the kind sir who was running the booth gave me samples. And yes, it made my day. There's also classic and handmade marshmallows. I'm guessing they're square marshmallows, because that's pretty much the trend in New York. This cute little 'wichcraft hot chocolate outpost in conveniently located right near the entrance to the ice skating at Bryant Park. Enter on the 40th Street side and you'll see it, nestled in the snow. And if you want to know a bit more about skating The Pond, read this previous post. I'm a big fan. hot chocolate by 'wichcraftBryant Park closest entrance: 40th Street or 6th Avenue hot chocolate by 'wichcraft 3 kinds of hot chocolate: classic, malt and peanut butter (chocolate) 3 sizes: S $3.50, M $4.50, L $5.50 + marshmallows 25 cents
I watched them build these curious protrusions everyday on my way to work. They kept adding more and more texture. I figured it was going to be a florist because it resembled cacti or something. I think in total, there are 4 shades of green.
But surprise, the interior is lavender! I love the front door, complete with garage door hydraulics. I wonder what shade this wood will become? Or will they leave it raw?
