a sunday post
(get it? like a sunday roast? hahaaha!)
i know i normally don't post on weekends, but hey, why not?
this weekend was the first in about 6 weeks that bf and i have not had massive plans involving trains, planes, or automobiles. so we committed to hunkering down and doing that thing called "down time". we decided to run some errands (well, he decided and to bribe me he said "honey do you want to go to your store?" so i agreed. he's good.)
a bit o' history, when we moved up here 2 years ago - i had to go through a major transition. i was downtown deb. for 16 years. i knew the vibe, the bars, and of course - the shops. but i was ready to change, it was turning into an NYU free-for-all in the old hood. so up we came to the lovely place we are now. happy happy - i bought plants, i bought house things, "nested" so to speak. but where to shop????? we went for a walk to get sandwiches one day and i happened on the super cute boutique BOC. (located at 491 Columbus ave., at 84th street) it is beyond awesome. they get a really cool selection of established (but edgy, and downtownish) designers, as well as new and up-and-coming designers. they have a fun collection of jewerly as well, and i have wandered out of there with a scarf here, a pair of shoes there... (also - jeans selection is amazing.) they also have a very nice habit of putting items on sale pretty much all the time. out with the old. love that!! the shop was recently listed in Lucky magazine in their NYC shopping guide, which is usually right on with great shopping tips.
it's been a month or so since i've visited, so i happily went on the "errands". bf patiently waited (seriously - he didn't complain) while i looked at almost every single new piece they have in. and there is some CUTE stuff in there!!! a ton of Alexander Wang T shirts and dresses, that i have of late become obsessed with. cotton as light as air, and comfy beyond all rational belief. and some really fun new jewelry and bags. and even though i wasn't entirely planning on it, i did end up getting a tee and a dress... it will last me not only through the rest of HOT summer, but into fall easily with a turtleneck and tights underneath, and my beloved grey boots... planning ahead. that's what i was doing. see how responsible i am?

another Lucky post...
it seems i like Lucky magazine a bit... i do. it's true. i think it's a genius mag for the style hunter (and bargain hunter!!) another thing i like a bit, ok a LOT, like Lucky, is the iPhone. recently i dropped my poor iPhone in the toilet, and murdered it. it was accidental phone-slaughter. and i am a little embarrassed to admit how utterly and completely lost i felt without it. (happy ending is that BF bought the new version and donated me his old one. i am complete once more)
ANYWAY. there is an app on the iPhone for Lucky mag. it's called "Lucky At Your Service". when i saw it, it felt like the first time i saw whipped cream on top of ice cream. it has little sections for shopping for shoes, bags, Target, all of which make me happy, and they just keep adding more goodies in there. if you do not have an iPhone, fear not. they also have this little shoppers helper online -- it's well worth a look, to shop or just to cruise it!
