My Tokyo Crew!

Koko and Alfa finally met up in Tokyo. They are both best friends of
mine so I knew they would get along! This is them at Tokyu Hands
making toy bugs. Then they went to my favourite izakaya, Gochi,
in Shibuya. The guys who run it made them a special drink in honour
of me! It's of course ume-shu, which is my favourite, and they called
it the "laura special"!....I miss japan!

Bella Milano!

So I went to Milano for the weekend! Actually in reality, it was about
twenty-six hours!It was amazing! Beatrice took me around to all the
great exhibitions that were goingon for the Milano Furniture Fair.
It was really wonderful and well worth it!

Beyond Buono!

This was the best cappucino I have ever had. It blew my mind. And all
the little sandwiches were amazing! The perfect snackto fuel us for
shopping and gallery hopping.

Sights and Sounds.

Beatrice took me to some amazing exhibitions around the city.
There was too much to see, but we saw as much as we could in
those few hours. I was so tired and delirious =)

Mi Piace Corso Como.

Corso Como was one of the most amazing stores I've been to in the world.
I have been many times to their store in Tokyo but this was completely
different, inset into this amazing old beautiful building, where the front
garden is a great café where you can relax and enjoy the day. They have
a beautiful bookstore and galley on the top level.

More Milano!

I was so lucky to get such beautiful weather. We walked through
the famous Galleria and into the square with the Duomo! It was
amazing!

Negroni Per Favore!

After dinner, we went late night to Bar Basso. I had to try their famous
"negroni", which was apparently invented at this bar! We ended up
running into Redia and Koko!!! It was totally by coincedence, and she
was there with Kane and his new Berlin crew, Zaine and Adriano...
It's such a crazy small world!

Mangia Mangia!

We had a lovely dinner with a bunch of us! It was good to see old friends,
mix of us from all over, London, Milan, Paris, Istanbul, and San Francisco.
I had a very delicious parpadelle al funghi!

Nothing Like a Happy Ending!

We ended up having our own party in the bath-like rooms at Happy Endings!
After interupted a most "serious" photoshoot, and ended up doing our own
photoshoot! Steve and Michael, rockin' sweatpants, mind you...really got into it!

Goodbye, Mommy Dearest.

Friday was Nicholas's last day at Nylon. He always took care of all us
at the office. Making us cookies and pot brownies! So we are sad to
see him go. After goofing around at the office, we moved onto drinkin
margaritas at "n" in Soho!

Creamy Beats!

Luke spun some amazing beats at this rad little bar in Williamsburg
called Huckleberry bar. Most of the nylon kids came out to support.

Girls Gone Wild!

Hanging with the girls at One Oak... some really crazy girls!
We had fun none the less, with the free champagne and all!

Rollin' In True Indian Style.

We jumped into this private car service that Monika's friend
from India arranged to take us to the club. It picked us up in
Soho. Hiro, a well-know sushi-shep took shotgun and we took
the back. The scary barbie girls came along with the car! (just k)
