I was up for some pampering and I had read about this place in Soho that specialised in brow threading. I made a call and booked it in.
I thought I'd make my way to Soho via the Flatiron district for some shopping en route. I only have a limited time in this city after all! 5th avenue runs along one side of the Flatiron building and there's some good shopping around. It was ok, a lot of the chain stores like H&M, Zara and Club Monaco. Always goodies.
The threading was interesting. If you haven't heard of it, it's an ancient method of hair removal where they use twisted cotton to pluck out rows of hairs at a time. I think this is good for brows as you can get nice straight lines. Good result! Not that I really had much to shape, my damn brows won't grow. It's cheap too, only US$15. Check it out...
While I was in Soho, thought I go back and visit my little nail place again and get a mani/pedi. It's so unfair how cheap it is here. US$55 for both. How could I not. Really.
Dinner and drinks out on Sat night. Lots of fun. Around rocks Sunday. A little hungover so thought I'd get some food and hit the shops again and lazily wander around. Can you see a theme developing this weekend?! I went to Union Square and the ever impressive DSW (Designer Show Warehouse) and then payed a little visit to an old friend, Century 21. I think I wandered around that place for about 2 hours. Best way to do it though, it's big and you need to hunt.
Here's some purchasing evidence for those interested. Ray Ban aviators, plaid shirt, a felt hat and a DKNY cosmetic bag (which will now be known as a clutch)...
