while i am not often looking for that perfect little dress, when i do need one it can be a tough hunt and sometimes in the past when i was desperate i would sometimes be forced to visit one of the monster department stores. so a few years ago i was excited to discover darling — a shop brimming with stylish and fun dresses in prices ranging from about $100 to $400. if and when spring finally arrives, darling expects to see lots of greens, turquoises and royal blues as well as orchid and pale neutral fabrics. their current designers include caroline hedaya, yumi kim, amanda uprichard, luna, lewis cho and susanna monaco. in addition, they also carry a sweet selection of lingerie by mary green and hanky panky as well as rumba panties by honeydew. lastly, they have begun to carry more vintage bags and clutchs making it easier to save a little for that night out. while darling is not easy to find with a kind of odd netherland location on the border of the meatpacking district, it is worth tracking down when you need them. darling, one horatio street on the west side of 8th avenue, one block below 13th Street, .

about

with two small and darling kids and one lovely husband who all occasionally need some amount of tending to as well as a full-time job, this blog is an excuse for me to explore the streets of new york, with a focus on brooklyn -- my home -- and manhattan, for those great little finds that seem to appear randomly on all sorts of blocks around new york but are sometimes hidden from plain view. i gravitate toward small, beautiful, independent places with interesting things, fantastic and friendly service and mostly affordable stuff (or at least an excellent value) and food that is extremely tasty, reasonable and in a great space -- though taste will trump design every time. to help put all these ideas in one place, i also will provide a series of new york mini-guides. in each of these, i will highlight something fun to do and then give some food, shop and doing suggestions nearby. these mini-guides, soon to be accompanied by mini-maps, will help to fill an afternoon -- where to pick up a snack, what shops to check out nearby and is there a really sweet little park along the way for a much needed rest. and i am always looking for ideas -- so if you have any suggestions for where to eat and shop or what to do please let me know. . you can also follow me on twitter at cherrypatter.

and for those of you more interested in the photos, i have absolutely no photography training and while i have been picking up a few tidbits here and there, mostly i think the credit for the photos goes to my lovely camera. it is a canon rebel xti, and the lens i use most of the time is the 50 mm 1:1:8. i also have a 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 for longer views.
