...and made a note that I want to come back and see this exhibit at Gagosian before I leave.....
...that's what's great about window shopping. You don't have to want to wear the clothes you see, you can just glance at them and keep walking...
...HOWEVER, I would definitely, definitely, definitely wear this little Carolina Herrera number! Sleek, and I am a bona fide dog lover....hence...
....from whimsy to a very serious building: The Whitney Museum.
....to a book store with my kind of book. Too bad it was closed. Have to go back!
...ladies and gentlemen. On the right, a Ralph Lauren store (whole building)...
....and just across the street, another Ralph Lauren store (building)....
....and a Ralph Lauren window. Most of the windows on Madison Avenue featured white or cream fashion....
....and a white Astin Martin across the street from Bond Street's Asprey.......
...if you want to fit in all the skinny clothes in the windows, don't stop here. Laduree for macarons. Heavenly. Just heavenly. Oh, maybe just one!!!!
...of all the fashion, the shoes along Madison Avenue were the most interesting.....
.....along with this....
.............while Nello's still draws the famous and infamous on mid-town Madison Avenue, I sort of like this little place....Bar Italia...........laid back and pretty....
....walk another block, and on your left you will see Hermes...........
...and across the street, the famous Nello. You go here for the crowd, for the ambiance, and for the lovely big flower arrangements. One night I sat here next to a very famous hedge fund manager and his wife, and the noise was so loud we couldn't hear each other comment on each other's plates. Polite smiles all around. (the end of the story: it was 8:30 and I heard him say, "We have to get going and get to bed, early day tomorrow).
....and now for some men's fashion.....
....Todd's boating shoes?!
....Barney's Department Store....minimalist.......
..............dripping in jewels at Chopard....
.....so I leave you with the last window I saw. Two shoes. Sort of says it all. If you visit NYC and stroll along Madison Avenue, it is always different. This was all shot on one day. But what is constant is that it is a small town street in a big city. Something many of us treasure. It is hollywood. Fantasy. Another world. For window shopping, it is superb!
