Smashing Darling Blog

Julie and I had the best day in the NYC yesterday. In true crazy darling fashion, it didn’t go exactly as planned but it was fabulous. We actually decided on the train ride home that if it had gone as planned it wouldn’t have been nearly as good. OK, so this is how the day was supposed to start. We were to meet Lesley Scott from Fashion Tribes at The Bean down in the East Village at 10:00 to interview her for our blog. We arrive in the city at 9:30, hop a cab down, and of course with all the traffic don’t arrive until 10:05. We order our Mochas and sit down thinking, whew, she hasn’t arrived yet. Not knowing that she is sitting almost right in front of us, reading. The other detail I must tell you is that I, Trish, still do not own a cell phone (I know you are reading this laughing your ass off, thinking how can anyone function without a cell phone) and Julie forgot hers at home, on the table, charging. So, as you’ve already guessed, Lesley, sitting not 10 feet away calls Julie, but of course the phone is ringing in Chester. Lesley leaves while we sit there thinking about how to figure out what went wrong and how we might solve it. To make a long, fun story short, we reconnected with Lesley later in the day and had a great time. Be looking for the interview with the Fashion Tribes’ Founder in the near future. We also peered in the windows of Punkin NYC, down in the East Village, stickered a radio station with our smashing stickers, bought “MerGirl Green” tights and spent a pretty penny at my favorite fabric store, B & J.
