Happy Fun, Free, Friday lovelies!
I’m back in my home city and loving every moment (that I’m awake that is, darn jet lag!) I went to a “Sex and the City 2” screening yesterday at the Time Warner center.
Free movie + free cosmos = awesome time
I met some great new girl friends too though it’s a shame I won’t be in NY longer to enjoy hanging with them!
I’m off to VA this weekend to see my sista from another mista and meet her daughter. Wow, my first close friend to have a baby, tis the beginning of a new era.
I’m also hoping to go…
…vintage shopping (will report back on the mix of stores I end up visiting).
….Trader Joe’s shopping (seriously this kitschy, affordable food destination is so awesome. Though they have one in NY, I like to go to the one in VA). Does anyone else love their Thai lime & chili cashews? Seriously one of the best places ever for responsible snacking.
USA
Today is a special day, a day of remembrance, one where we remember our donuts!
It’s National Donut Day! Celebrate by getting a free Krispy Kreme donut at participating locations. I remember having my first Krispy Kreme in high school or college – the rich, melting texture was amazing. We can all have a “it’s ok to have sugary snacks day” right (like a few times a year)? Eat sugar responsibly I say and make it good.

New York
R. I. P. Takashimaya New York (don’t worry I will still support your brand in Singapore). This New York shopping institution with its gorgeous gifts, memorable tea, and array of amazing goods is closing its doors forever tomorrow. The items left are 60% off. I’m going to see if there’s anything left and grab a piece of history (that and my jeweler’s close by and my ring needs cleaning).
Have a great weekend. What are you up to this weekend?
I love Trader Joe’s for just about everything! Haven’t tried the chili-lime cashews, but I will.
And hello Krispy Kremes! Too bad there isn’t one near my office, though maybe that’s a good thing 😉
yum i want a krispey creme but the nearest one is like 3 hours away sigh xxxx
yay! I hope to see you:) xo
happy donut day!! i had a chocolate to celebrate 🙂 hope you are having the best time in nyc!
Krispy Kreme are my favorite! I sometimes go there for dessert.
Woohoo! Donuts!! I just did yoga, I think I deserve a donut.
That’s too bad about Takashimaya. 🙁
When I lived in NY I bought some pottery from an artist that sold her work there. Really pretty stuff.
I didn’t even get to go to Takishimaya! Last time I was there was in December. Bummer….
Have fun in VA! And I’ll lyk about Tues soon. Still haven’t looked at my calendar. That’s the kind of week I’ve had. LOL. Are you still planning on going?
Takashimaya is closing forever?? No! I always wanted to go there, and never will. Boo.
Trader Joe’s is the best though. I love it.
OMG, RIP Takashimaya? Are you serious?? That is so sad, that was always one of my favorite stores when I lived in NY. Really, that is just so sad, it had so much beautiful stuff and the best makeup brands, too. What a shame. Hope you have a fabulous time on your trip!
That sucks about Takashimaya!
i would love a beautiful flapper dress like the ones in that illustration…
my dad and his wife were in town – i have been way behind on my blogs – wish i would have known about takashimaya and krispy kreme!!
I’ve never visited Takashimaya when I was in NY, so sad I didn’t get the chance.
Mmmmm free donuts
