NYC gathering

Maya

Tara let me know today that she will be in town on 9/11 (unfortunate date, but life generally carries on as usual). I was thinking of having another NY gathering anyway so I figured why not do it while she is here!

If anyone else is interested in joining us, chime in here.

I'm very excited at the chance to meet some real life YLF women! And if Angie were there too - heavenly icing on the cake. I'll be there for several days - so far Saturday seems to be the best day, but Sunday might work, too.

MICHELLE! You must come. It's a YLF order (standing in for Angie here).

Bella, it would be great to see you this time!

Medusa, it's a Saturday.

Michelle!!!! Please come.

One thing I'd love to do is go to that Bloomies on Broadway and try on jeans. I remember they had a pretty good selection there, and I'd LOVE to find my first pair of premium denim with the help of the ladies of YLF.

Sure Tara. AT is also on Broadway and you wanted to go there. There is also Uniqlo, Mango, Zara, H&M, Esprit, Topshop, and much MUCH more. We'll be there all day I'm guessing. Maybe we can have brekky at Balthazar again (which we did for the first NY YLF gathering).

I would also like to check out All Saints, which I have been meaning to do for ages, but obviously I live here so I can get there any time. Wherever you and others want to go is top priority.

I do recommend we stop by Second Time Around though. I know consignment isn't everyone's thing but I always find fabulous things when I go (like my denim jacket and shorts). The stuff is in good shape, usually pretty high end, and inexpensive...and no, there is no musty smell or anything. It's not like thrifting.

I remember the old Canal Jeans on Broadway. Probably way before your time. They had fantastic - and funky - second hand clothes in the 80's, as well as new stuff. I used to work right around there. The whole area has changed so much I hardly recognize it now.

I have to admit I wish there were fewer chains and more independent boutiques that weren't so expensive in the area. I like having a Uniqlo and Mango since they are not as easily accessible elsewhere, but most of the stuff can be found in at least 4 different places in Manhattan. Why there are 2 H&Ms within blocks of each other on the same street is beyond me. It's wild.

Any idea what the weather will be like that week? Sept. can be horrible - or great. I'll have to pack carefully - I'm traveling without my husband this time, so I can't sneak extra shoes into his bag.

Probably in the 70's-80's. It takes a while for it to cool down.

Maya, you mentioned All Saints and I'm sitting here drooling.

Good luck, everyone! I hope Angie can make it, too! (psst, fashion week?)

I would LOVE to be there! I'm away from home at the moment and don't have my planner in front of me, but I don't know of anything off the top of my head to prevent it.

Michelle, you and Reva must come. Must!

Planner! You're a fancy lady April. I hope you'll be able to pencil us in

Michelle, I hope you realize that just mentioning this as a possibility means you have to come.

I would love to attend but unfortunately, I am in class all day 9/10 and 9/11. Sunday would work & the following week (weekdays but I know most of you are working!) is excellent for a quick trip to NYC because my mom will be here so I have free babysitting! But don't plan around me - see what works for the majority.

Tara, I spent the month of September in NY and NJ last year and wished I'd brought more summer clothes!! 70's and 80's were exactly what we experienced. And the weather was gloriously sunny for most of it! I'd say sandals and ballet flats will be all you need.

Oh, another NYC get-together! Wish I could attend this one, but am fairly certain that I won't be able to get away in September. I know it will be great, the one in March was!

Hi I'm here. I'm always interested in a YLF get together. Sept 11 is fine for me right now.

Drat. I'm not going to be able to do 9/11, if that's the date we're aiming for. On Sunday, I'm helping to run an orientation for the board of trustees that I serve on, and part of my responsibility is making dinner for the board -- which I'll be doing on Saturday.

But a Philadelphia YLF meetup will not be far behind!
