Good morning, Wednesday. It's raining, it's pouring and I'm not going to the gym. Today's spin teacher is a bit too into his Fire Island tea dance playlist, and I'm not featuring that today. I may psyche myself up to go into the city later and go to Soul Cycle, but with all of this rain I'll be lucky to get off my sofa today.
And since it's a rainy one, I'll have to dress accordingly if I do venture out, and I can only hope to look as chicly adorable as Catherine Deneuve in "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg", pictured above. Though I now own four different trenches (Burberry, Rag and Bone, Banana Republic, and one super lightweight guy from the Gap), I think I may be just fine today. But if you are somewhat weather challenged and worried about a sopping wet wardrobe, head over to a store that could probably only exist in New York, Ame Ame, located on a delicious little block of East 9th Street in the East Village. A recent jaunt around one of my favorite neighborhoods found me in this store- they've got every chic thing you need for wet weather and sell candy from Sweden and Amsterdam and everywhere else to boot. PS- Mother's Day is this weekend- a cute umbrella is a great gift for the woman who gave you life, non?
Link to the store below- check it out if you're living here in the city or the next time you come for a visit- loads of lovely shops on East 9th Street for you to check out as well- hopefully it won't be raining when you do...cause that's what's up this raindrops keep falling on my (Barbour rain hatted) head kind of Wednesday in the 718. Let it rain. XO
