Oh yes, this is long overdue. I have been wanting to post some of the photos from my trip to NYC. I have to say it was so much fun. I have to THANK Amy Coon for scoring our free hotel stay on Times Square. Her husband travels a ton and is a VIP at the Marriott. So when she called to book- they told her the room was NO CHARGE for our stay. Wow... BONUS... happy dance!!!!! I like to take photos of where I am staying to remember.
and this is our VIEW as we looked down at TIMES SQUARE. It is the Marriott Marquis hotel. I loved it...and would definitely stay again (and pay!). Thank you Mr. COON...... seriously, I have great friends.
This is my cute friend AMY... it was raining when we arrived... but we were in NYC and did not care!
We decided to just shop and sightsee the first day we were there. The lady at MAC told me I needed different makeup for my lips (she thought I needed brighter red) When I expressed I liked little or neutral tones she told me I looked like a dead Barbie... ouch!!!"
This is my cute new friend ECHO. She is the SWEETEST girl. She is Amy's friend from WAY BACK. Now I'm lucky that we are friends. She is truly just so kind and easy going.
M& M World... nope we did not even buy any. I am sooo tired here. I had taken the overnight flight to JFK and I was feeling it here.
First night was this cool restaurant. Yes, loved the MOVIE!!!! I loved it so much. I wanted to go back again the next day. It is a MUST MUST go to if you are in NYC!
Frozen HOT CHOCOLATE... we split it... YUM oh YUM... must have AGAIN...
Seriously, THIS was a trip highlight!
Next we went here. Oh, yes.... CANDY. This is Dylan's (Ralph Lauren's daughter) famous candy store. Oh, my kids were so happy that they got CHOCOLATE from here. They still have some and are savoring it. Right, Taylor?????
Inside of the store. Bins & Bins of candy...
Amy buying subway tickets for us. This was her FIRST TIME ever on the subway. What a hoot! She texted her husband Jason to tell him we were going on the subway and trying to make it back to our hotel. Then she posts a photo and never posted or texted him that we made it back to the hotel. Poor Jason never knew if we made it home. ha!
I loved this shop... look at the black chandeliers... oh my!!!!
Hello Kitty is my kind of store. LOVE the black walls and white trim!!!!
The rain did not stop our shopping fun!
The next day we went here:
Amy went as Press... she is writing a story for CK Media. Here are some photos from the show. PS... they don't want you to take photos so I don't have very many.
The day highlight was seeing my dear friend... JANNA WILSON... I love her. I have known her for years. I love her. She just is a TRUE friend forever. Isn't she gorgeous??????
The shuttle taking us back to the hotel at the end of the day. Ha... self-portrait. I was bored....
Sights on the way back to the hotel....
Oh--- this was dinner. ha!
Okay... more tomorrow. Headed to my office now...shipping my crate for the UK today. Ideal World countdown- ONE WEEK!!!!!
