Since it is raining in Manhattan I am looking for new wellies. I love the first pair by Hunter but wish they were lined with shearling. www.hunter-boot.com. The second pair are by Tory Burch and are on sale for $58.50 at www.toryburchprivatesale.com. They are more practical for this hot, muggy weather.
These booties are the best shade of blue and would be perfect for a day when you just don't feel like thinking about what to wear but can't go out without looking chic. Throw on these, your favorite skinnys, an oversized tee, a blazer, a chunky necklace and you're set. Marc By Marc Jacobs at Piperlime.com

One of my new favorite bars. Public on Elizabeth Street in Nolita. www.public-nyc.com
I am sooooo obsessed with this. http://jaydiohead.com/. "Jaydiohead is a mash-up album combining the vocals of Jay-Z and the music of Radiohead. It is produced by NYC DJ and producer Max Tannone."The mash-ups are unreal.

Cannot wait to move home next week.
