Brunching @ SoJo


Collingwood is now boasting a bit of New York style with the new cafe 
 Housed in an old cream brick factory/garage, its like a piece of Brooklyn down under.
Drop in and let owner Stuart Mckenzie sort out your hunger all day long.
Personal favorite- Banana French toast.















Find SoJo @ 46 Oxford Street, Collingwood.

Bill Cunningham @ Bergdorf Goodman.




After browsing through seven floors of outrageous luxury at Bergdorf Goodman's store, 754 5th Avenue we departed through the side entrance on 57th Street and check out the windows.  We feel a presence behind us and look around to see the enigmatic
  Bill Cunningham sneaking in a snap.  Then he's off in a flash and onto his bike, shy as anything.





What a fantastic way to end our stay in New York City.

Shopping the Big Apple. Spring 2012.


Shopping in NYC anything goes, but trending really has to go to the fluro, while icy pastels are back  making a bit of summer show.  Hot colour = Orange. And a million distillations born from McQueens "Crabclaw" are stomping the pavements.  Check out fun new line "Joe Fresh" by fashion Czar Joe Mirman of Club Monaco fame.  From Canadian supermarket to 5th Avenue NYC.









The temple of Prada on Broadway.  Mega display for The Met Gala and exhibition, ode to Schiaparelli.
