Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Windows at Apthorp Cleaner's

I don't know about you, but I am totally ready for Season 3 of the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel to be back tomorrow! The previews look amazing and I am sure it's going to be another fun season. Apthorp Cleaner's on the Upper West Side always has wonderful Barbie inspired windows. When I came across these this year, I knew I had to share but wanted to wait closer to the new season premiere. 

If you are a big fan as myself, hope you didn't miss my coverage of the Paley Center for Media exhibit of Making Maisel Marvelous but if you did, you can still view here on the blog. It was totally fantastic! 

Can you spot Susie ? 

The scenery on the Upper West Side is always so marvelous!

What is your favorite part of the show ? The fashion, the scenery, the cast, the script or all of the above? I would say all of the above for me. Enjoy Season 3 tomorrow and try not to watch all episodes in one weekend! I try to pace myself but it's very, very hard.

10 Best Apps for New York City Travel

We are all just so glued to our cell phones, however, many good things can come of it! I love being about to find out information on my phone while in the city. It quite spoils us I think, in a good way. I have listed what I think are the best apps you should have on your phone when visiting NYC, and many of them feature other cities as well. I use Google Maps quite often when trying to find a new place, sometimes it's right in front of me and I just don't see it! I have also listed most that have Android as well as iPhone and some Windows versions. I myself use my Galaxy Note and have never been an apple person, so it's important to see they offer Android as well. The Zomato app is the old OpenTable which I loved, I am still getting used to Zomato. Sit or Squat is very important, by the folks at Charmin, and it's so important to find a clean bathroom when walking around the city. I personally try to go to hotels as most have one in their lobby and it's always in good shape.

In no particular order:

1. Sit or Squat  by Charmin (Android/iPhone) - finds the cleanest bathrooms based on reviews
2. Groupon (Android/Iphone) - find deals on restaurants, shows, shopping, spas in NYC
3. Open Table (Android/Windows/iPhone) - reserve restaurants & cancel with ease
4.  Zomato (Android/iPhone/Windows) - check out restaurant reviews, order food online
5. Park Me (Andoid/iPhone) - find the cheapest parking when traveling
6. I Love NY (Android/iPhone) - State's official tourism app which shows all activities going on
7. Shout (Andriod/iPhone) - a platform where folks can sell tickets & reservations
8. ABC Eats - (Andriod/iPhone) - gives the health rating on every restaurant
9. Time Out NY (Andriod/iPhone) - from the magazine, gives you all activities in the city
10. Cups (Android/iPhone) - prepaid coffee plans for the cities best cafes

Do you have a favorite NYC travel app?

Chanel Windows Through the Years

These photos were taken various years of Chanel windows. Some were from Saks Fifth Avenue and others from the Chanel store itself. It amazes me how these are just timeless designs. They are classic and can be worn anytime, anywhere. Coco Chanel sure knew what she was doing.

Tiffany and Rachel Zoe 2012 Window Collaboration

photo of Rachel Zoe from tiffany.com website 

I was thrilled to be in the city just when the Rachel Zoe windows were open for viewing by the public. Here is some background from Tiffany themselves along with my photos to follow. I think they all really capture each decade pretty well indeed. 

In honor of the 2012 Academy Awards®, Tiffany unveiled its window collaboration with Rachel Zoe on February 16 at its flagship store in New York City. On view through February 27, the five displays brilliantly capture Hollywood glamour with exquisite Tiffany jewels.

THE 1930'S OPULENCE AND GLAMOUR IS TIMELESS  

THE 1940'S FILMS WERE FULL OF FASHION, CULTURE AND CHARACTERS  

THE 1950'S RED CARPET WAS A TIME WHEN MOVIE STARS WERE BORN  

1960's GEOMETRY OF HOLLYWOOD 

               THE 1970'S GLAMOUR WINDOW  

Each spectacular showcase evokes a particular decade, from the classic elegance of movie stars from the 1930s to the eclectic style of the 1970s. Rachel Zoe’s windows were also launched around the world and are on view at Tiffany flagship stores in Beverly Hills, Hong Kong, Singapore and London through February 27, 2012. They will unveil in Tokyo the week of February 27, 2012.


I hope you enjoyed these wonderful treats! I loved the touch of Rachel's personal message for each window with her signature as well. A really nice touch. My faves were the 1940's and 1950's. What are yours?
