Milly & Grace Buying Trip in New York 2014

millyandgracenyc

Guess what?! I didn’t have to be back in Switzerland until today so that meant that I could tag along with my mom and Emily to New York! They were headed there to do the buying for the store. We are getting ready for the new season everyone! And there is lots to be excited about….new jewelry lines, new clothing lines (like FREE PEOPLE!), and some other fun things! We started off the trip with a cancelled flight that led us to catch the ferry because there is no other way off of Nantucket other than flying or ferrying. Once we got to the cape, there were no taxis because they were all running way behind schedule. Well, our travel plans stuck tight to a schedule because we had to make sure we caught each mode of transportation necessary. So, with no taxis in sight, we had to pull our suitcases through the snow on the streets of Hyannis all the way to the bus stop. Then, we jumped on the bus for a few hours. Hopped off and hopped on a train for another several hours. Until FINALLY, we arrived in NEW YORK! It’s one of the coolest cities ever. So. Much. Character. We love it! We ate lots of yummy food (including Pinkberry which we may or may not have eaten twice a day), shopped around, and then went to the shows to gather inventory. Check it out…

Sadly, my part of the New York trip was cut short because I had to catch a flight back to school. I’m in my room in Switzerland, my bags are unpacked, and everything is organized and ready to go for the second semester. Although, if I can be completely honest…my winter break feels like it went by way too fast and I wasn’t quite ready to come back to Switzerland yet. I know I have an amazing semester ahead of me, but right now, I’m just really missing my family and home lots.  I can’t wait for them to come visit me in March!

I’M BACK IN LA! SAME PAGE MONDAY IS BACK TOO!

1.  In honor of the Season Premiere of The Bachelor tonight, I will tell you my little Bachelor/Bachelorette story.  About 2 months ago, we met Drew Kenney from last season’s Bachelorette (well he was our bartender at Hakkasan in Beverly Hills) and my friend slipped him my number when we were leaving and told him to call the “cute blonde”.  I am still waiting for him to call.  Just kidding.  I am not.  I got over it pretty quickly.  Actually, the day after, I was reading US Magazine and there was an article about how he is now dating Chris Harrison’s assistant.  Note to self: Stay up to date with gossip magazines so that you are up to date on who is dating who in this town, so embarrassing stuff like that doesn’t happen again.

Almost…

 2.  This is Patty instagramming.  Notice that she is not only committing a big fashion no no… socks and flips flops… but she is surrounded my mounds of snow.  She walked in and said, “My toes are froze.”  Oh Patty, we love you!  The things we do for a good Instagram shot.

3. If you didn’t know this about me already, I used to work for Sprinkles Cupcakes! I always had so much fun working for Sprinkles. One of the things I loved about that job, was that we were always filming fun videos and training videos! Patty, Emily and Caroline are in New York for the buying shows and they stopped at Sprinkles for a little afternoon pick me up… They sent me this video. It makes me happy to know that I haven’t fully left Sprinkles forever.  A little piece of me will live forever on the TV Screens at Sprinkles in New York. Watch my amazing dance skills below.

4.  There are only 3 things today.  I’m sorry.  I hope that’s ok.  Let me know if it’s not.

A Nantucket Snow Storm – #ACKHERCULES

HERCULES! HERCULES! HERCULES!

On the second day of the storm, Nantucket woke up to a huge, white, fluffy layer of snow.  This meant we had to go sledding!  We all bundled up and headed out for another adventure!   Caroline had never been sledding before.  I know, isn’t that terrible?!  We definitely took her sledding when she was between the ages of 1 and 3, but she obviously doesn’t remember.  She was convinced she could “slip and slide” down our snow covered shell path… but she quickly realized that that doesn’t work!  We then found a huge pile of snow that the plow trucks left in our neighborhood that served as a pretty “epic” sledding hill for us!  AND then we got a call from Steve, inviting us on an adventure.  Steve is the King of Adventure… we knew we were in for some crazy fun!

We put together a little video for you all to see!  Scroll down and hit play!
