Art and the City

Hello there and happy Monday! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! 
I finally took the time to prepare all New Yorker posts with the photos I had left from the past years. Plus, I got my school stuff together and also organized a shooting for Wednesday, trying to fill my "sedcard" with loads of different shots ;-)
Today you get to see some photos of my trip to NYC in September. That day we checked out a really cool art exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. The pieces by Jeff Koons highly impressed me. I totally fell in love with his comic-like, colorful paintings and modern sculptures, such as a huge Play-Doh pile and his famous balloon dog. You all know I'm a huge fan of art so I was very happy when a friend recommended us the exhibition that just ended last week. I also met the beautiful Aimee Song of Song Of Style at the museum, what a pleasure bumping into this pretty lady and amazing blogger!
After our cultural experience, my girls and I decided to walk down the Upper East Side and take a stroll through Central Park. I hope you like the pics ;-)

Good Morning Upper East Siders

Hey guys, I can only imagine how many of you were craving for a post like this one. Today I'm going to show you the place where Serena fights against all the rumors, where Blair throws her super fancy dinner parties and Chuck and Nate cruise around in their limos. Yep, that's it, the fabulous Upper East Side - welcome to Gossip Girl's world!
This is probably what most of you expect when coming to New York City - ultra glam luxury stores, posh girls à la Sex and the City, and the finest selection of shoes, dresses and food - everything a city girl's heart desires. However, there are only one or two neighborhoods similar to Gossip Girl's world in Manhattan, in fact most parts of the Big Apple are pretty cool and laid-back, with a touch of grunge and understatement - not all rich New Yorkers feel the need to show up in a Bentley.
Madison Avenue though, where I took all these pictures, is THE place to be for people dressed in (real) fur coats, wearing Tory Burch flats or Louboutin heels and carrying the tiniest puppy possible under their arm or in their Birkin bag... a shopping mecca for the "oh so rich and famous". Not so much my world but just like the rest of Manhattan - fabulous!
