As you can see, I’ve done some fun editing to this post.

Because I own rights to my blog I have the ability to see what country, city, local town people are visiting my site from. I can see what search engines they use and where the source of the search is based (Germany, Netherlands, Brazil, China, etc). I love that I have the option to see what photos people click on, enlarge and just how many times they look at it. Amazing right?

Well, for some odd reason the photos below have been clicked on continuously since I first posted them. There are two of you doing this. Not sure if I should be flattered or scared.

Again, just so you’re aware…… I know who you are. If you would like to discuss your reasoning for this, I’m totally open to doing so. Please email!

So for now, enjoy the newly edited photos.

I know, I know. I was already told, obnoxious of me to bring half of my collection.

A few weekends ago, we got up early to go and do some shopping. Naturally we needed to fuel up first. For me that means bacon and egg on a plain bagel, butter, salt and pepper. (Yes, I’m a full fat kind of girl). However we went against the grain and went to a coffee shop. Chai Latte, chocolate croissant, bowl of mixed berries and off we went.

As you may have read/heard, mother nature is upset with New York City. She’s been really hammering us this winter. I try not to let that stop me from looking somewhat stylish when I walk out the door.

How do I manage that without looking like The Michelin Man? Base layer tops. I live by Nike Pro Hyperwarm. I have so many of them it’s ridiculous. I mean, why should I limit myself to wearing them only when we’re up at our ski house. Granted, they’re a must have when snowboarding, but they can be used in everyday life as well. Give them a try.

I had to have the straps on this tote replaced almost 2yrs ago. They still aren’t as dark as the other leather pieces but they’re getting there. I love this bag so much. Reason being is, you hardly ever see another girl with it. Everyone is walking around with the same darn Neverfull tote. (At least here in NYC). I often wonder if some of the girls that purchased the piece when it first came out feel the same way.

A Date at The Palace – Tokyo

The second day after touching down in Tokyo, we were invited out by my Japanese co-workers. (Thank you Ken & Megumi). Knowing that we were going to be in town, they insisted we join them for lunch. Who am I to deny their wishes. This was a perfect time to catch-up.

The Palace Hotel, Grand Kitchen is a wonderful place to dine. Not to mention a wonderful view of the water. After lunch we then moved to the Royal Bar for a few drinks. (Well, we are on holiday).

After lunch and cocktails, I said goodbye to our host, walked through Wadakura Fountain Park and then on to the Imperial Palace grounds. The day was long, damp and not without a rain shower. We returned to the hotel to get dry, relax and get ready for dinner. What a day.

Wadakura Fountain Park (part of Kokyogaien National Gardens) was built in 1961 to commemorate the royal wedding of Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko of Japan. The park was then reconstructed in 1995. The new postmodern theme was “Continuity and New Development”. The reconstruction celebrated the wedding of the Crown Prince and Princess. Four canals connect the new fountain to the old fountain and symbolize the Royal Weddings of two generations.

Tokyo Imperial Palace is the main residence of the Emperor of Japan. It is a large
park-like area located in the Chiyoda area of Tokyo. The Palace is very close to Tokyo Station and contains several buildings including the main palace, the private residences of the imperial family, an archive, museum and administrative offices. Vast to say the least, (1.32 sq mi) and was built on the site of the old Edo castle.
Look closely, a man is scaling the wall.
Nijubashi Bridge (aka Stone Bridge) is the main entrance bridge that leads to the official imperial grounds.Here I stand before the Seimon Ishibashi Bridge, leading you over a moat. Made of mainly cast iron.
