New York Buying Trip

For the last 3 days, I went to New York City to buy things I needed for the wedding and to see my friend Yvona. I visited Tibet Kailash in the West Village where I bought my bridesmaids' skirts. I love Paper Access on 18th Street for paper goods. Then I had a makeup lesson with Laura Nadeau from Lo & Co. and met Yvona for dinner at Sushi Samba. The nest day, I went to the bead district around 34th St for beads and cufflink findings. I went to Tinsel Trading and M&J Trimmings, my favorite stores. Then off to the fabric district to find silver shantung silk for the maids' tops which I found at R&K Fabrics on 38th Street. I thought that they could all have their own tops of designs of their choosing but that the color would be the same. I then went to the flower district to pick up some brown floral tape as I am making the boutonneires. The trip ended with a nice sunset dinner at Blue Water Grill in Union Square and then the Bolt Bus back home.
