Smythe Long Shawl blazer black shine
Just purchased a shiny new "Long Shawl Blazer" by Smythe last week..I love it! I wish the weather wasn't so unbearably hot every day so I could wear it more often.

Smythe Les Blouses Pomeranian
Also tried on this white blouse (from Smythe's pre-fall 2014 collection). Even the smallest size seemed way too big on me..it is really beautiful though. I might end up going back to get it as well. & on the right is Hennessy sleeping..

Rolls Royce
The Motor Expo at Brookfield Place last week. The Bentley was my favourite.

Niagara Falls
Yesterday we visited Niagara Falls/Fallsview Casino. We had lunch at the Grand Buffet..here's the view.

World Cup Germany
It was way too hot and humid so I didn't last long outside. Went for a quick walk before I headed back to the casino lounge to watch the Germany - Algeria game. I'm supporting Germany this year. Such a close match..I was so relieved when they won in OT!

Tiffany & Co Atlas Necklace
I've decided to sell some of my old designer items I never use anymore, starting with this Tiffany & Co Atlas necklace. I got it years ago and barely wore it. I think it's this one but mine is the smaller size. I just had it cleaned at the boutique last week. If you are interested in purchasing it, please email me! tiffany@leftbanked.com

371. London | Fortnum & Mason

Fortnum and Mason
I finally visited Fortnum & Mason. The displays in there were really nice, but nothing beats Harrods (will always be my favourite department store). Ah I miss London so much..

Shake Shack
Even after visiting NYC so many times last year, I never made it to the popular Shake Shack. I finally tried it in Covent Garden and I must say, I wasn't too impressed with it. I've had lots of better burgers. I didn't try that many in London, but I really liked Byron's (their fries are delicious too).

337. NYC - June 2013 | Favourites

Just got back yesterday from NYC..miss it a lot! The above is my favourite photo & favourite moment of the whole trip.

It seems my blog has officially turned into a travel blog - particularly for New York. I just scrolled through the past few pages and it's filled with posts from my previous times there. Unsurprisingly I wasn't able to do live-blogging once again.
I arrived last Thursday afternoon. First we took a long walk around Brooklyn/Brooklyn Bridge/Brooklyn Bridge Park. The rain started that evening and continued on until Friday. On Friday, in the middle of a tropical storm, we went to The Met. It was my first time there..I loved it! Saturday the rain stopped so we took a roadtrip to the Catskill Mountains, where I was able to cross of one thing on my list of things to do before I die ("lie under the stars" - I know this could've been done anywhere but I was waiting for the perfect place). The stars are amazing up there!! Don't have any photos unfortunately - pretty sure the view would've been impossible to capture. Sunday we strolled around Battery Park, had dinner then drinks at Top of the Standard (my favourite spot). My flight home was Monday afternoon. There were heavy rains so my original flight got cancelled & I got bumped to the next flight. Stressful day but made it home. Not liking being back home now though..anyways, here is a photo summary of the trip:


View from the plane + the familiar wait for a cab at LGA.


One thing I love about NYC is that there's sooo many parks and nice areas to walk around. This is Brooklyn Bridge Park. Perfect view of the skyline.


Awesome candy shop! Got a huge bag of gummy candy that lasted me all weekend.


Inside the Met on a rainy day. Great collection of art and I also really liked the interiors/building itself.






Wonderful dinner that evening at La Grenouille





We drove around Woodstock in the Catskills, & I had the most delicious pancakes for breakfast


Tiffany & Co on Wall Street


My favourite hotel in NY!


Top of the Standard / Boom Boom Room


View from sitting on the toilet


Cartier windows + my favourite photo once again.
