Fashionista wars

Fall fashion is all around,especially in the 2nd grade. The princess and a classmate from last year are trying to outdress each other

I'd like my orange scarf from Spain today. FYI it's the same scarf worn by WLIW 21's Laura Savini during a recent PBS fund drive.

The scarf went well with her dress but why wouldn't it. She's my little fashionista for sure. Can't wait until tomorrow morning.

Living like Eloise

Went on a grand adventure in NYC Saturday. Visited FAO Schwarz and played for hours. The little princesses had a grand time. They got to see a puppet show,draw pictures, checked out more toys than they had ever imagined and played on the Big Piano. My favorite was the Barbie Fashion Runway.





We listened to stories at the Barefoot Books Boutique. Ruby's School Walk,Three Billy Goats Gruff and Dragon on the Doorstep.





Then it was across the street to the Plaza. The girls were treated to a ride on a luggage trolley. We shopped the boutiques, including the Eloise boutique. Needless to say the girls were awestruck by everything they saw. They dressed up and had a tea party. Too bad Eloise was in Nantucket for the weekend,she missed a simply fabulous time.





Lunch was at recently opened Plaza Food Hall. We were seated by the pizza station so the girls were able to watch as their pizza was prepared. They even got autographs of the chefs.
