    Hollywould Nolita Boutique

    Next month I am off to New York. Actually it’s my first trip to NYC, if you don’t count flying into Newark or driving though the city on the way to Cape Cod.

    Last week I received a lovely handwritten note from Courtney Cochran asking me if I wanted to come to New York for the launch of her new book Hip Tastes. Well of course it sounded too good to pass up. I booked a ticket and my sister decided that she would fly up from Texas.

    Courtney’s book launch and signing will be at Holly Dunlap’s amazingly glamorous shop Hollywould in Nolita.

    I am also planning to catch up with fellow blogger Habitually Chic. It should prove to be a great trip! If you know of any must visit places, do let me know.

      WOW! Lucky you. NYC is the most fun. Soho, Madison Avenue, all the parts. I am trying to schedule a day up there in the fall.

      Wow your’re first time to NYC. Well you will be in good hands with Habitually Chic. I am sure she will point you in all the right directions. You should check out the Slim Aarons retrospective. Please ask HC to corner Albert Hadley when she next sees him and graciously ask him for an interview!! Have a wonderful, fantastic time.

      I am really excited Patricia and I definitely want to see the Slim Aarons retrospective (need to check dates).
      I’ll ask HC about Mr. Hadley. At the rate she is going it would not surprise me to see an Albert Hadley interview on her blog one day!!
