Today I got the most wonderful birthday surprise.
It was actually Gaeuls birthday today so I honestly thought that we would be doing a bday suprise for her but instead we did a suprise for both of us.
Joy actually got us both scarves for our birthday. She is so amazing and i honestly cant thank her for being such a great boss.
From the rest of the crew I got a bliss gift card. So excited because I have never been so super excited.

So today I saw my very first A. Toy bag on a person. Unfortunately she probably worked for our PR company but lets just make pretend that she didn’t.
Today a woman named Susan posted an amazing picture of herself rocking the A. Toy Leigh bag and the image is amazing.
I did mention to her to definitely send a picture of her rocking the bag and she actually did! Turns out shes actually a wedding photographer and after checking out her website she does amazing work!

Furry and I were walking around soho and I told him that Peter Herman had the A.Toy jack totes.
The store is so dam small and I felt so embarrassed because they obviously know me so I didn’t want to go inside.
Bart begged me to go inside and I didn’t give in until he got really mad at me. I finally gave in and we saw the bag. It looked fantastic!
So glad that he made me go in. Like so many parts/things in my life- I’m so glad to have him scoot me in the right direction. Thanks Lovey- I LOVE YOU.
Kisses forever my lovely

So today was a mellow Sunday. We decided to make it a Miki day. Spent some time at the office working on some 7FAM designs and then headed out over to meet Furry at the dog park.
Took some amazing pics on the bike ride down the west side HWY. Another reason why I LOVE NEWYORK!

So tonight I decided to make soft shell crab for dinner. This was my first attempt at making them and I really wanted to make them before the summer/season was over.
I made them with an egg wash and panko crumbs and topped them off with a little bit of lime juice. I liked them but wish I would have coated them with a little flower first before doing the egg wash. I would have made them more crispy. Lesson learned for next time.

So this past weekend we went to visit the cemetary. It always makes me sad when I see Uncle Allans grave because it reminds me of the loss that my family experienced.
I found out from my Aunt today that she was only 14 years old when he passed. Just as old as my little cousins and that makes me so sad when you think about it like that.
My dad said he was 23 years old and my Dad was one year older than him making him 24 years old! I remember being 24 and being kind of young and stupid and to have to deal with the loss of a sibling would have totally set me off track!
Being at the cemetery makes me really think about death and whether or not I want to be buried or cremated. I think I definitely want to be cremated because I don’t want to think about people coming to visit me when I am dead-just makes me so sad to think about it.

Last night since Furry had to wrk on the A. Toy website we had dinner out at this Vitemanese place in out hood.
After dinner we were weak and had a treat at Three Tarts NYC. Pumpkin and Gingerbread ice cream sandwich. Banginnnnnn…..
Super glad that we discovered this after the summer. Makes it less tempting when it’s cold.

So Daniela finally moved! I remember six months ago when Daniela was talking about it and how it was such a huge step for her to be living on her own and she finally did it.
I am so dam proud of her because she worked hard to get to where she is and is finally on her own. Her moms negativity would always get on her nerves and now she is finally on her own.
We started with dinner which was takeout from this Dominican place, classic chicken with beans and rice.
She invited us over to her house to help with installing a bookshelf and the shelf for the TV.
We are both so happy for her to finally be on her own. So glad that I have her in my life.
Love her plant outside her apartment.

I am totally loving the A. Toy online presence. We did a thing with Fashion Indie and doing a giveaway to the person that likes and follows A. Toy.
The best part about the giveaway is that its the last of the style available so it literally is the last 1 of 99.
Hope to get lots of followers and and likes. :–)
