A splash of Harrods in the Plaza Hotel

I read this morning that The Plaza Hotel in New York is introducing the European "food halls" into it's establishment next week. I couldn't be more excited because the food halls at Harrods are completely fabulous and it's about time we got something even half as cool in our country! Dumpling bar, sushi bar, a seafood joint, panini stands, dessert bars....I mean it's all the food you could want!

For those who have never been to a food hall, like in upscale Euro spots, picture 5 or so small restaurants on one floor that you shop and walk and stop to eat if you so desire. Super convenient to say the least! They'll even have little pre-made picnic baskets to take in the park! Good thinking Todd English!

DVF Maxi's

There's a serious 60's tribal vibe going on with the prints on DVF's new Spring maxi dresses. A little of this goes a long way, but a fun look for a day-to-night shindig!
If you're interested try Saks, Neimans or even DVF.com
