Shock to no one that I went back to the park for a second time. It's literally my favorite. Saturday morning, we ate breakfast at the Laduree restaurant down near Soho and walked a bit through the area before taking a taxi up near our hotel. I was on a little bit of a mission. I had just recently purchased this bag that I wore the beginning of our trip but I was on the hunt for the one I'm wearing here. I loved seeing the monogram a lot of other people have but I desired the all black bag as it's something a little more classic that I can wear to work and out and about. I have been dreaming about this bag since I saw it online. I went into an LV store in Orlando but they were all out and told me that it was unlikely that any store would have any in soon. The first day I was in New York, I went to both LV stores and the boutique in Saks had ONE bag. As I thought more about it, I started feeling guilty about indulging and treating myself. My husband kept trying to buy it but I said I wanted to think about it even though I not so secretly wanted it badly. It's strange because before kids, I didn't think twice before I bought something for myself, now with kids, I literally think of every little detail and try to talk myself out of everything. Sure enough, the next day, the bag was gone. As we walked through 5th Avenue to get to the park, we meandered into the 5th Avenue LV store, and there it was! As I was trying it on in front of a mirror, two other women were asking for it and I could hear the women asking the SA if they could purchase it. It was just meant to be and although it was definitely a splurge and I'm done buying handbags for a long time, it is my favorite bag ever. I've been wearing it non-stop since buying it and immediately put my stuff in it in the store and walked out (after paying, of course).
As soon as we got to the park, I promptly took out my Laduree macarons (yum!) and walked through until we got to the Boathouse. We bought some pretzels, people watched, the weather was perfect, and, ugh, take me back! It was another great day in the city. In the afternoon, we freshened up at the hotel to get ready for dinner and to see my little sister hard at work at Saturday Night Live!
