Shopping and the The Bronx

Today I spent my day shopping. First I went to SoHo. I really just felt like I hadn't had the full experience of the area. I didn't really buy anything, it was more of a 'lets check out this store because I always see people carrying their shopping bag and I want to know what it's like' kind of day. Everything was way expensive. Then I went to Canal street to see if I could score some fake Chanel earings for Christmas presents. However, the ladies were not out today touting their wares. It was like there had been a major crackdown on fakes and no one was willing to show anything that was even relatively illegal. So, I didn't get anything. It was highly disappointing. After that I went to the garment district because I wanted to go to Mood one last time before I left. I bought some really cool silvery leather to try and make a handbag out of, as well as some beautiful silk printed fabric to make a shirt.

When I returned home, Sarah was back from her trip. She had just talked to Linda, our old roommate, who said she was coming by. Linda took us back to the Bronx, where she now lives, and showed us her new apartment and neighborhood. She lives really close to little Italy in the Bronx and so we went and got slices and then had delicious chocolate mousse. Then Linda brought us back to Newark. I think we are going to hang out again tomorrow after she gets off work if there is time!
