Yesterday I took a break from the show to indulge Diva Daughter Sabrina in her favorite activity, shopping.  My sister Pam, Sabrina and I hit the road running beginning our day on famous 34th Street where we visited Lush, Desigual and Uni Qlo.  Lush is the smell good spa experience gone wild,  I fell in love with the signature looks at Spanish retailer Desigual and was impressed with the merchandising, quality and value for money at Japan based Uni Qlo.  Click on the links and check them out.

It was a long fun day and we ended it in the East Village at the Yaffa Cafe’.  The Village has to be my favorite part of New York.  If I ever lived here in a past life, this was the spot.

The food was good and the company made it even better.  Today we returned to the AD Show and visited ArtExpo.  Stay tuned for today’s recap in the next post.
