Hooray, we’re off to New York today! It’s only Monday and I’m already pretty zonked from the weekend, but one thing I’m really looking forward to in New York, other than catching up with old friends and roaming the West Village, is…finally visiting Partners & Spade.

My crush on Andy Spade is fairly well–documented (a crush mostly of the professional variety — he’s like the modern-day Don Draper, minus the rampant womanizing and alcoholism…I hope!), and he opened a studio with a storefront in NoHo right behind our old loft that is open to the public on weekends.

I’ll still be blogging from the road and as always, you can follow me on Instagram for sneak peeks of our trip. And if you have any New York City recommendations, I’d love to hear them!
