I love going to Soho. Most of the shops are a bit expensive, but all of the flagship stores are beautiful and it's still fun to go window shopping.

First we went to David Z shoes, where they had some jeffrey campbell night walks for like $50. I think I might go back there and pick them up. Next up was my sweetheart's favorite store, Evolution. Really a great store if you're around. They sell curio things like fossils, tribal masks, bones, seashells, human bones...

| Beautiful beetle display. I think it was like $2k |
 |
| Yeah, believe it. Vintage jaguar rug. I don't think it's for sale--I'm pretty sure it's illegal. |

 |
| my purchases from evolution: a scorpion ring (with a real scorpion) and american porcupine quills (which I'm going to put in my industrial piercing. I've been wanting to do that for so long.) |
 |
| Then off to the Frye flagship store. A beautiful store, and also one of the nicest, most hidden bathrooms in NYC. |
 |
| me and my sweetheart @ the Ralph Lauren store. |
 |
| You might have noticed that I love menswear. This was pretty awesome. @ Ralph Lauren |
 |
| I forgot the name of this purse store, but the interior was cool |
 |
| ....also had a nice view of the street. love the cobblestones. |
 |
| Then for some midday drinking at Toad Hall. (not my picture) |
 |
| Soho's not too far from chinatown, so we walked to my favorite dumpling place, Joe's Shanghai. |
 |
| And then, when we were all shopped out and all filled with dumplings, we went to go see Beasts of the Southern Wild. I absolutely loved this movie (I have a thing for shanties and strong female protagonists). My sweetheart didn't--the film had promised monsters, and didn't deliver. I can agree, the "beasts" in the title aren't in your face--but who cares when there's such a beautiful story. |
