i heart the upper eastside

zadig and voltaire's valentine window


i love my visits to the upper eastside
 i love wandering up madison
 in the high 70s low 80s
 there are
 a lot
 of 
young 
hip
 clothing
 shops

 shops
 that make me
 wish
 i was
 well 
younger

 the designer shops 
south of the 70s 
have
 fabulous clothing
 at 
prices
 i 
can
 not
 pretend
 i can easily afford
 so
 i stick to
 rebecca taylor 
sandro
 vince 
zadig and voltaire
 (i thought it was zaftig 
in yiddish
 'zaftig' 
means chubby 
so i did think it odd), 
 j. crew 
and
yes
 even
 eileen fisher

 just this friday 
after picking up
 my
 again
 repaired
 time piece
 i wandered up the escalator
 in time warner center 
to
shop at 
sephora
needed eye make up remover indulged in a laura mercer 'caviar' rose gold eye shadow stick 
wandered
j. crew
where its spring or maybe cruise time
 then
a siren calling 70% off pulled me
 into 
eileen fisher
 where i bought
the sweetest
 almost 
mini dress
 in a knit with a bit of sparkle
 you know i cannot resist sparkle
 it can be worn
 with 
leggings
heavy tights
over the knee boots

 where
 was
i going
 with
 this
 ?

oh yeah
 i love the upper eastside
after
my monthly 60 minutes being
deep tissue massaged
at exhale spa
by
oh no
 you don't
 i don't
 tell 
anyone
 his 
name
sigh
