The gorgeous Leah of Style for the Stay at Home Mom came to town and we hit the downtown stores yesterday. Leah wanted to investigate Uniqlo (aka the Japanese Gap), so we started there. We weren’t particularly impressed by the merchandise. Even worse, I took what I thought was a good photo of Leah but since she didn’t like it, I had to delete it.
We next went to the Soho Bloomingdale’s, which was a first for me. I fondled some panties printed with cupcakes.
We both opted for ruffled, leopard-printed ones instead. No, Pistols, I did not take a picture of us having a pillow fight while wearing matching leopard panties. Leah admired a halter top by Converse by John Varvatos. I should have made her try it on. Leah, is this it?
After testing some Jo Malone scents, we wandered into some more neighborhood stores, including If, where we saw the Martin Margiela “black bar” sunglasses that made such a splash on the runway.
Margiela sunglasses on the runwayThe shades blended into my dark bangs; they looked much more spectacular on Leah. She was camera-shy and wouldn’t pose in them. Neither of us wanted to try on these cameltoe shoes…
…so off we went to the Jonathan Adler store where we laughed over these jars.
Then we went to Frock, my friend Evan’s vintage store on Orchard Street. Leah and I both tried on some vintage Thierry Mugler and I finally got a picture of her.

We didn’t take a photo of the Ossie Clark dress I bought (I shouldn’t have, but I’m weak!) but I did get to take this candid of Evan and Leah studying her camera. How cute are they!
The paparazzi contemplate the tools of their tradeAfter all this excitement, we needed some refreshment so we stopped by the Pink Pony. This review of the restaurant cracks me up. I, for one, did not notice any “hipsters.” Does that mean that Leah and I WERE the hipsters? Hmmm ….
Thanks for visiting, Leah! Come back soon!
UPDATED TO ADD: The excitement of Leah’s visit made me miss the #1 most important holiday of the year: Coco’s birthday! I can’t believe I failed to pay my respects to my idol with a human sacrifice or custom-made ass jewelry. Why didn’t you remind me sooner, Big Glasses Girl?
it’s coco’s birthday today ( I think that’s what I saw on dlisted). How are you not covering this?? Shouldn’t we have a press release, ass-shaped candles, or something?
I love the photo of the two of you, even though it makes me insanely jealous because you are two of my favorite cyber people.
Looks like you had loads of fun, I’m totally jealous and dying to visit New York!!!
the mugler jacket is crazy cool! i love the candid photo of them two..oh and it cringes me to say this but HAPPY BIRTHDAY COCO
Cupcakes and panties just go so damn well together…
But I like the Thierry Mugler jacket! And you look smashing indeed.
thanks for the comment you are so right about the costs of producing the eco friendly clothes after lots of researching I found that it is extremely expensive to produce eco friendly clothes.
So I don’t know fashion, but when did Ninjas start designing footwear? Is the silent assassin industry in a recession and they’re all slumming it these days?
Good question, McGone. I would’ve thought that a silent assassin was a necessity rather than a luxury, so the business should hold up well even during hard economic times. I will have to do more research into the matter.
Wow, seeing those camel shoes made me grab a big heapin’ handful from my uppers jar.
It seems like you two had super fun. I’m very jealous! I also want to see the Ossie Clark goodness!
Becky.
Camel toe! hahahahaha!!
I like the container from Adler that says “dolls”
That Mugler jacket is like a topographic map of your chest. Is that a good idea?
^^Ha ha! I was annoyed because the bosom on the Mugler jacket was higher than my real body parts, so I was trying to pull everything up to match.
The Mugler jacket looks cool. I wanna see your Ossie dress.
Wendy – I LOVE YOU!!! I regretted not buying the blouse and have been searching online for it ever since!! I bought it as fast as I could from Revolve. I love the picture with Evan too – I didn’t see that one :)!
Leah
^^ Oh good, I’m glad that’s the right one! I don’t know why we didn’t stop to have you try it on.
That looks like fun. Leah has a great smile, and it’s too bad she’s so camera-shy, because it would have been nice to have seen more pictures of her. Next time! Evan is awfully photogenic. That TM jacket is mental!
how fun!!! i have to admit jealousy of getting you for a WHOLE day!
you bought panties??? who are you kidding?
How lovely! I’m so jealous and I wondered where Leah was. The jacket in the first picture rocks! (The Ossie Clark one.)
