Notes from a buyer- A day off in Paris

A day off in Paris - Caroline Diani

3. Mid Morning snack: Have a smooch with the statue outside (don’t tell your boyfriend).

4. – 6. Lunch: The French don’t lunch, they walk. With all that cheese, how do you think they stay so skinny? So, hoof it to Square du Vert Galant, then over to Notre Dame, and end in awe, staring at the stained glass of La Sainte-Chapelle.

 

7. & 8. Afternoon Snack: Amorino dark chocolate gelato, followed by getting your nose stuck into some Shakespeare (don’t tell Moliere) at the old bookstore near the Pont Neuf.
9. Dinner: Escargots (don’t tell your trainer) and then walk it off up the Eiffel Tower (tell your trainer).
10. And, like I’ll always say, don’t forget to stop and smell the flowers.

11. Ps: See if you can find some Invader graffiti.

Notes from a buyer: A day off in NYC.

A day off in NYC during one of my recent buying trips for Diani Boutique.

when in Rome, in New York, why not?

Breakfast:  a chocolate mouse muffin from Eataly… when in Rome, in New York, why not?

MOMA
Mid-morning snack:  the photography exhibit at MoMA.  Keeps the metabolism cooking.

 

abc carpet and home
Lunch: ABC Carpet and Home… interior design for more than just your apartment.

 

NYC Shopping trip
1. Mid-afternoon snack: instead of a full hi-tea, a cup at the Plaza Hotel Rose Club does the trick.
2. Dinner:  mingle with the mannequins in the men’s department at Barney’s.  They won’t sneak a peek as you text.
3. Bedtime:  don’t leave your fedora on the bed.  It’ll get crushed.
4. Oh, and along the way, despite all the concrete, there are flowers.  Don’t forget to smell them.
