So Dianas husband Jon who was the photographer for the atoy shoot did such an amazing job with the shots.
Here are some of the shots that didn’t make it to the website.

Brunch with Lollise
zandertoy
It’s a gorgeous sunny Sunday. Had a lovely brunch with Lollise at Harefield Inn.
Had the huevos rancheros. Was so delicious and glad their wasn’t any meat inside.
After that we were feeling something sweet so we decided to go to Blue Stove for some pie.
We shared the Berry crumble with fresh whipped cream. Amazing.
Had such a great time with her as always. We talked about what it would be like if she comes to work with us and how amazing it would be for her career.
Hopefully it happens because I would be thrilled to work with her again.
Weekend with Adis
zandertoy
I finally went down to Jersey to hang with Adis. She picked me up Friday after work.
We ordered sushi for dinner and mad a quick stop at Target of course.
Bridesmaids finally came on DVD so I had to get that one for Adis.
We got to her house and had dinner and watched bridesmaids. I don’t think Adis found the movie as good as I did but I also don’t think that she paid as much attention. She said she would watch it again.
Saturday we had out usual slow starts. Went to dim sum and then to Barnes and nobles. I’m glad we did something different for a change.
For dinner we stopped at A&P for some groceries and made dinner at home. Adis made this delicious mustard garlic chicken with asparagus. I made Brussels sprouts with some diced ham.
Unfortunately my Brussels sprouts didn’t taste that good. The Ham was not that good. Should have used bacon instead.
After dinner we watched some tv and ten Adis dropped me at the train. I got kind of upset at her because we missed the train because she didn’t get ready when I told her to. Really makes me so angry and stressed when we rush to the train.
Miki at work

Today I brought Miki to work. He was such a cutie being friendly to everyone. He was such a good boy in the office. Everybody including Joy and Pete really liked him and said that he could come in anytime.
After lunch Tia went home to get her little Zoe. I guess you could say that they got along but they really didn’t play with each other, kind of just hung out with us on their own. It was nice when he kind of just laid down on the floor next to my desk being a cute little doggie.
I am definitely going to bring him in but probably on half days since it would make it less stressful.
First fan

Today this guy tweeted to me with a pic of him rocking one of my bags. Hopefully he bought the bag.
It’s the first time I have seen someone in a pic rocking an A. Toy bag. Plus he’s stylin.
Dinner at home
zandertoy
For the past two days we have done a really good job at cooking and eating at home.
Last night I made seared tofu and broccoli and tonight we made miso seared scallops and sautéed sliced potatoes.
Southampton Day2

Southampton Day1
zandertoy
This was my first weekend going to the Hamptons.
Furry, Tia, Diana, Jon and I stayed in Southampton at this cute little house. We rented the house for the weekend.
We had such an amazing time. We left Friday night and the shitty part about the start of the weekend was that all day Friday and Friday night it rained like crazy. The forecast for the weekend was rain all weekend.
I was super bummed but we figured that lots of wine and board games would get us through the weekend but it actually ended up being a gorgeous weekend.
Saturday we started the day off at this cute bakery called Tates where we got scones and pastries for breakfast and enjoyed them on Cooper beach.
After that we strolled through the town and ended up at Silvers for a late lunch.
Back At the house we had margaritas and hung out for the night. For dinner we went to the Lobster Inn. I had this thing called the Splat platter which was all types of seafood on this huge plate.
We ends the Night with some vino and Blue Valentine.
Chris Benz SS12 presentation
zandertoy
Joy brought me to the Chris Benz presentation today at Lincoln center.
His collection was amazing. Full of lots of color and amazing fabrics. I saw a few famous bloggers- Susie Bubble and Bryan Boy. Also saw Kelly Osborn. Not that friendly but she must have been so annoyed by all of the photographers wanting to shoot her.
One of the other surprisingly people I saw was Monica. I was completely shocked to see her since it has been so long. It was kind of strange to see her outside of working for her but we had a great chat.
Best fucken day ever
zandertoy
Wow so today had a crazy day. It all started with pickup up the Uhaul to deliver the bags and furniture back to the office.
When I got back to the office it was back to MCM presentation boards. We had to complete them and get them ready for their presentation next week.
At the end of the Day I had my 3 year review. They both gave me great feedback and both love me to death. I really care about being here and am so happy that they appreciate me so much. We also discussed Toy and how they wish for it to become even more successful. In the end after a very long conversation I got a wonderful raise. It will not take effect until November but I honestly am so grateful. Nite nite.
