Buying Trip To New York City!

September 22, 2013 By Emily 7 Comments

Patty & I just got home from our Spring 2014 buying trip in NYC. We had a blast! Here is what we did:

Monday:

Fly from ACK to JFK

Check in to the Standard Hotel. We highly recommend – great location!! Very hip and swank.
Pre dinner shopping around the Meatpacking district.
Dinner at ABC Kitchen – I am still flipping over how delicious and creative the food is here. The decor is right up my alley. You must try the ginger margarita (stay tuned, I’m going to try to recreate!), the watermelon, jalapeño and tomato gazpacho and the crab toast!

Tuesday:

First Day of the Show! Even though we do these shows all the time now, I still get embarrassingly excited over the whole thing. Everything I wore to the show is currently available at Milly & Grace so we did a little photoshoot! Full disclosure: We actually saw a real photoshoot taken in the same spot the day before so we thought… We can try to be cool too!!

Day 1 outfit: Joie silk Marcie top in Shiraz, bLank denim and a Iwona Ludyga necklace.

Appointments: First stop Joie! Our favorite sales rep Jane helped us. She and I used to work at Ralph Lauren together back in the day.

Other appointments: Parker and Rebecca Taylor!
Dinner at Extra Virgin – a West Village staple.

Wednesday:

Day 2 outfit: Rebecca Taylor cream flutter top, Dannijo statement necklace

Appointments: Minnie Rose, BB Dakota, Splendid, Ella Moss
Drink at the Boom Boom Room/ Top of the Standard (The below picture is the view from the loo!)

Dinner at the Standard Grill with my Nantucket retails girls! Julie Biondi owner of The Lovely, Beth English owner of currentVintage and Calista Amato the manager and buyer of Sail Loft

Thursday:

Day 3 outfit: Ella Moss rose gold tank sweater, Gillian Julius tube bracelet in rose gold.

Appointments: Love Shack Fancy and Erin Fetherston
We got done early with the show so we had time to scoot out to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Yippee!! I checked #4 off my list of 30 things to do before I’m 30!!)
Dinner at Cafe Cluny in the West Village with our friend Lacey Griffin! She has a really cute blog called Lacey in the City – you should check it out! She is also the national sales manager for Linea Pelle (available at Hepburn on Nantucket)! We had so much fun visiting with her!

Stay tuned for my favorite picks from each designer that will be available at Milly & Grace for Spring 2014! Thanks for reading xoxo!!

Emily Paddleboards & Ivy Swims!

September 15, 2013 By Emily 3 Comments

It was a big day in the Hollister house. Lots of firsts! I went paddleboarding for the first time. (Yes! I checked off #21 off my list of 30 things to do before I’m 30). Also, more importantly, Ivy went swimming!! It was probably the most proud I’ve ever been in my life. She handled it like a boss.

So.. off I go on the paddleboard!! It was a blast and so great to be out on the water! It’s a little awkward at first but once you get the hang of the strokes it is smooth sailing. I knew my kayaking days at Camp Wyonegonic would come in handy one day!
