Elephant Skin

Baby, it’s cold outside.  Luckily I’ve been indoors the last few days endlessly typing up papers, though how lucky is another story.  At least I’m writing in style wearing a new Roberto Coin Elephant Skin ring from Bloomingdale’s!  I know this buy contradicts a standing rule that yellow gold looks a bit tacky on a 20-something-year-old but it is much worth the $2200.

Curry Friday

Once I sat for breakfast at Macaron Café, I decided on a food adventure rather than one of shopping.  Though admittedly I still made a stop by Bloomingdale’s.  So the Boyfriend later found me, shopping bag in one hand and box of macarons in the other, and together we strolled down Fifth Avenue stopping for candied oranges at Michel Cluizel then crossing town for some long sought-after Japanese curry at Go! Go! Curry!

The dishes didn’t seem like much, but underneath the topping and spicy yet sweet curry was a big mound of rice — very satisfying and yummy.
