Photo: Courtesy of Alice Naylor-Leyland12/55And as if Bergdorf’s couldn’t get any cooler, I took a look at Giovanna Battaglia Engelbert’s takeover. Bat Gio was everywhere . . . in the windows, on the mannequins, on the floor. The balloons on the ceiling here are pretty cool.
Photo: Courtesy of Alice Naylor-Leyland13/55I popped into the newly refurbished Ludlow Hotel for tea. It was charming, as was the lovely doorman.

Photo: Courtesy of Alice Naylor-Leyland22/55Backstage with Victoria Beckham, hearing all about her new Spring collectsion. What a show it was. Oversize pastel blazers with skinny trousers, glitter shoes, and playdough colors. It was girly, but serious. Clever lady.
Photo: Courtesy of Alice Naylor-Leyland23/55With a free afternoon, I headed to the Lower East Side and found this fab shop, Coming Soon. Adore these jugs and prints.
Photo: Courtesy of Alice Naylor-Leyland24/55They had wonderful patches, too. “Wear a smile and nothing else”. Quite right.
Photo: Courtesy of Alice Naylor-Leyland25/55In my Topshop Humbug trouser suit, I had a bite at Scarr’s Pizza. New York pizza at its best.

Photo: Courtesy of Alice Naylor-Leyland27/55Faux fur neon coats line the rails in a pop-up shop also on Orchard Street.

Photo: Courtesy of Alice Naylor-Leyland45/55Starting my day with coffee at delightful bistro Buvette. Cappucino and scones make for a good morning indeed. And yes . . . there’s my Chaos phone cover.
Photo: Courtesy of Alice Naylor-Leyland46/55Checking out the Balloon Saloon in Tribeca, I find these tiny Trump hands rather amusing.
Photo: Courtesy of Alice Naylor-Leyland47/55I’ve never seen so many mags. Mary has a flick at this shop on Bowery.
