Owen and I had another big expedition to his favourite clothes shop in New York Macy*s. Now this usually involves me wandering around glazing over slightly but this time I actually went a bit spendy.
Macy*s always seems a bit old-fashioned for such a landmark store but we were lucky to catch it looking better than usual as it was having an indoor flower show with real flowers and plants causing their own colour riot above the counters on the ground floor - there was even a gazebo and a guided tour of the different displays.

The Herald Square entrance was even more spectacular with their huge windows given over to lifelike mannequins of famous models wearing outfits made out of flowers.
Among others we had Twiggy (as the 1960s of course), the ubiquitous Kate Moss looking like a floral Marie Antoinetteand the best of all was one of Carmen dell'Orefice, one of the first models to became a household name in the US, who came to prominence as a teenager in the late 1940s and who still occasionally works at 77!
