GOTHAM: day one

(August 30th)

DAY: We landed in New York, got to our hotel in Gramercy Park and we're famished. So, of course, my family and I went to the nearest burger place, Schnippers'. It has a very old-style vibe, but manages to remain trendy and seems to be continuously full of traffic. They make a mean burger and an even better milkshake.


Stephan, my brother, wearing: Zara Tshirt and Brian Lichtenberg Homiés hat and RayBans Clubmasters.


Me, wearing: Anne Klein vintage chain, white leather tank and Marc by Marc Jacobs sunnies. 

Back at our hotels for a quick break, then we went off again to explore our favourite city.


Old style lights in the elevator at our eclectic hotel, The Gramercy Park Hotel.


Decadent chandelier in the lobby.


My mother, wearing: Hermès Birkin, Gap shorts and oversized sweater and David Yurman jewellery. 


A quirky hotel in Soho.


Golden statues on a building in Soho. The juxtaposition of the gold and the graffiti'd red brick is perfect.


Our hotel was right near the Flat Iron district, and this shot of Manhattan's famed flat iron building is awe inspiring. 


Me, posing in front of the fixies rented out by my hotel and wearing the same as above, my purple Superga walking shoes and Zara cheetah leggings. 

NIGHT: That night we went out for dinner at Beauty and Essex, an amazingly cool resto, that seems to be a general store before security lets you into the secret door way into the restaurant. They play great music, they have a tangible atmosphere and they make delicious food.

My outfit for our gorgeous, lavish night out: Zara graphic Tshirt, Michael Kors gold sequin harem pants, Hermès bracelets, Tiffany bracelets and Rosegold wedges.

The front entrance of Beauty and Essex, the general store facade is pretty cool.


Liquour bar in our hotel room. Doesn't it look just like precious jewels?
