Happy Friday everyone!
What a busy and wonderful week! Here's my
weekly round-up for the first full week of May!
1. The week
started off in the outskirts of Philadelphia. As a born and bred city
dweller, it is so refreshing to step away from the hustle and bustle and visit
greener pastures. I was really inspired to amp up my garden after seeing
these tulips. Aren't these tulips beautiful?
2. The Wall Street
Journal had some solid shopping advice this week. The bucket bag is back! Did you all
know that the first bucket bag was debuted by Louis Vuitton in 1932 as a
champagne carryall!? I'll take both, please :)
3. As a person who is socially conscious and
interested in real estate, this was a big week for me. New York City's
new Mayor, Bill de Blasio unveiled his Housing New York plan. It is very
ambitious and I hope that all parties can work together to make it happen.
Bloomberg News gives us a good round up
of his plan. And here is an interesting "reality check" on
affordable housing from Forbes. The article, written by Erin
Carlyle, is 100% on point on how New York City is fit to serve opposite ends of
the income spectrum but fails the middle. Can this be why some young
professionals move out of New York City? This WNYC podcast nails it.
4. I am really happy to see this partnership between Kate Spade and
Rwandan women. This is the kind of social investments we should be seeing
more of out of top designers.
5. And finally, I am going to see Cher tonight! It's amazing
she can put on a great show at her age, 67!!! 60s definitely are the new
50s!
