NEW YORK - DAY 5

MOM & ME AT THE MOMA

THIS IS A CULTURAL POST. MY MOM AND I WENT TO THE MOMA AND IT WAS
BREATHTAKINGLY AMAZING! LAST YEAR WE WENT TO THE MUSEUM IN THE
HAGUE. MY FRIENDS AND I TOOK PICTURES FOR ALMOST HALF AN HOUR AT
THE IMPRESSIVE MONDRIAAN PAINTING (I THINK IT WAS HIS LAST ONE).
WE WERE BLOWN AWAY BY THE EXPERIENCE OF SEEING A PAINTING LIKE
THAT! WELL, THIS VISIT TO MOMA WAS 10.000 TIMES THE EXPERIENCE
OF THAT ONE MONDRIAAN PAINTING! EVERY ROOM HAD PAINTINGS I READ
ABOUT IN BOOKS AND I DEFINITELY DIDN'T THINK I WOULD EVER SEE THEM
IN REAL LIFE. IT WAS AMAZING AND I WOULD LOVE TO SHARE A COUPLE OF
MY FAVORITES WITH YOU GUYS :-)



THE CAMPBELL SOUP PAINTINGS BY ANDY WARHOL

MARILYN MONROE & THE CAMPBELL SOUPS BY ANDY WARHOL

WALK AROUND TOWN

THE PLAZA

TILES FOR THE VICTIMS OF SEPTEMBER 11TH

MANHATTAN BRIDGE


TODAY WAS A BUSY DAY:

TOOK 2 BUSTOURS,
WENT TO THE APPLE STORE A LOT OF TIMES (DIDN'T BUY ANYTHING, THOUGH),
BOUGHT MY T-SHIRT AT THE H&M AT 5TH AVE. (!!),
STOOD ON THE STAIRS OF THE 'EMPIRE STATE OF MIND' VIDEO,
CRIED WHEN PASSING MY FAVORITE STORES SEVERAL TIMES
(OKAY, JOKE. BUT I'M HAVING SOME SERIOUS SHOPPING ISSUES),
AND I REALLY WANTED TO TRY THE CUPCAKES FROM CUPCAKE STOP,
BUT WHEN WE FINALLY FOUND ONE, WE WERE ON THE BUS. COULDN'T GET OUT.
SO MAYBE TOMORROW :)

OH, AND WE GOT SOAKED. YEAH. IT WAS RAINING LIKE CRAZY!


ME AND MY MOM MADE A LOT OF PICTURE'S, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE FORGOT
TO TAKE THE CAMERA-COMPUTER-CONNECTING-USB-CABLE ,FROM ONE OF THE CAMERAS, WITH US.
BUT I'LL TRY TO PUT THEM ON MY COMPUTER, LATER.


TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE FASHION HERE,
- BLACK (ANKLE) LEGGINGS COMBINED WITH STRIPED TEES AND JAZZ SHOES
- BLACK JEANS(LEGGINGS) COMBINED WITH RED AND BLUE CHECKERED SHIRTS
- BLACK JEANS(LEGGINGS) COMBINED WITH JEANS BLOUSES (ALSO FOR MEN!)
- ANKLE JEANS (NO, NOT 'HOOGWATER') COMBINED WITH LOAFERS
- KHAKI SHORTS AND BLACK/WHITE/STRIPED TEES COMBINED WITH FLATS

MEN:
- ROLLED-UP KHAKI PANTS AND LOOSE, LIGHT FABRIC T-SHIRTS (WHITE OR STRIPE)
- SHIRTLESS (YOU KNOW, THOSE MODELS AT ABERCROMBIE&FITCH, EWW)
- WHITE SKINNY JEANS COVERED WITH DOODLES,
- KHAKI SHORTS COMBINED WITH LOAFERS
- MOSTLY SUITS, ACTUALLY.

SO, THESE ARE JUST STYLES I NOTICED, QUITE A FEW TIMES.
IT'S NOT LIKE EVERYONE WEARS THE SAME CLOTHES IN NYC.
MOST MEN WEAR SUITS, MOST WOMEN DRESSES AND TRAINERS (SHOES)
BUT THAT'S BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO GET TO WORK


OH AND 2 MORE THINGS:

* AT THE 5TH AVE. H&M THEY ALREADY SELL STUFF THAT'S MOST LIKELY TO HIT
THE STORES IN THE NETHERLANDS IN OCTOBER OR SO (FALL COLLECTION!)
I WENT CRAZY, IT TOOK ME AN HOUR TO FIGURE OUT WHERE I SAW THAT ONE DRESS BEFORE!
AND THEY STILL HAVE A BIG PART OF THE FESTIVAL COLLECTION, SO I HAVE TO GO BACK :)

* I JUST HEARD ABOUT A TARGET X MULBERRY COLAB. , HITS STORES OCTOBER 2010
HOW COOL IS THAT?




XOXO

THE GIRL

P.S. I MARKED THE IMPORTANT STUFF, I THINK MOST PEOPLE DON'T
READ ALL THIS UNIMPORTANT CRAP I WRITE :)
